Replacement Oil Fill Cap

[palmczak]

Just wanted to post a replacement oil cap/plug option for the 08 te 610. Not sure if it will fit any others.

I just received mine and it fits perfectly. it is a bit deeper (longer) but it does nto appear to interfere with anything.

I ordered it from these guys. It took forever to find a vendor that could tell me the thread. I actually wanted the "OEM" style but that one was out of stock, so I opted for the curved. I don't have any miles on it yet but it appears to be a huge improvement over the stock plastic cap

I looked at the website, but nothing listed for Husky.

Did you order the Ducati unit?

Uptite has filler caps, as listed on the master aftermarket list.

Let me know and i will add these guys.

They really went out of their way for the example shot

Yes all Ducati 2000+ except 848 and 749R use the same thread as the Husky 08 Te610. Not sure what other Husky's are the same. Must be a popular thread in Italy...

The thread is M22 x 1.5mm.

My stock one works great!

make extra sure that extra length clears your clutch. Looks good

is there supposed to be a o-ring on the stocker?

Yes-

I can confirm that the Slingshot Racing oil cap does clear the clutch, even with its extra length.

Zero problems, zero leakage.

It's a win in my book.

+1 it works great!

My stock cap always wept a bit and it just annoyed me. It was getting harder and harder to get the threads to start straight.

Over time I think the heat of the motor softens the plastic threads and they loose their shape. As the threads get deformed the seal gets worse and worse. I am sure I would have eventually cross threaded mine.

I am NOT 100% , but I think 2006-2008 610's are the same.

Or you could drive around and find a 2000-2008 Ducati (not a 848 or 749R these are different) and try the oil cap if it fits you are in business.

I like the uptite cap. I just wanted to be different. half the cost was OK too.
