timing belts done
Ok so as I was bored and not sure if the belts have been done on my 2013 796 i thought I should do them.
Plenty of vids to watch and links on here. Made my own pins out of some 8mm stainless bolts filed down the last 40mm to just under 6mm. the ones on the bike were so slack the horizontal belt was not touching the top pully. As for tensioning what a faffffffff I down loaded the app recommended Carbon Drive. I just could not get the same number twice. do you strum close to the crank or out toward the horizontal head? So I had it at 98hz 6 times out of ten LOL . then turned in first gear with plugs out several times sloooooooowly. Well all ok now started fine so thats 14t front sprocket done tyres done oil change done fork oil done although my forks are due to go off for cartage kit. Billy |

Well done! I think the belt change is a bit of a rite of passage for any Ducati owner.

When you tensioned the belts did you first loosen the three bolts on the cam pulleys (no. 12 on the diagram)? Have a look here for more details. http://www.ukmonster.co.uk/monster/s...t=58330&page=4 |

i sure did,
the tension pulleys are closer to the crank in real life so there's a bigger gap toward the head than that diagram. Going on how slack the belts were I am surprised it ran. Billy |
