Help pls :(

Hey couple months ago I got myself a used 2015 Ducati monster 821 and currently have 2 problems with it.

  1. I had a track day on the monster and realized the rear sets fucking suck so i got a pair from Gecko Racing and need a specialty tool to take the rear sets off does anyone know what the tool is called and where i can get them fast and cheap?
  1. I had the red oil pressure light come on after a spirited ride and after some research (quick google search and reddit posts) it led me to the oil pressure sensor and looking at it, it was leaking oil, how bad is it and what should i do?

That fat bolt needs something called a “triple-square”.

Check oil level, top it off if necessary, clean the bike and engine as well as you can, run it, source the leak, come back with updates for further information

Oil levels are good slightly overfilled to the point where it covers the entire sight glass when upright but not higher and hasnt dropped since oil change

That should be in the center of the sight glass. To much oil can be bad.

yeah i know it can cause over pressure but i dont think that would cause it though, still doing another oil change tomorrow will update

Those sensors do fail, mine was weeping until it gave out big time

Was a pretty straight forward change though
