Have you been thinking about replacing the timing belts on your ducati, don’t risk it and do it yourself. I am not expert but if I can do it you can do it too. Email me: tomodornottomod@gmail.com My bikes #ducati #monster696 #kayo k230
Please ride the bike then do a follow up video and show how to make adjustments. I know the cam pulleys are adjudtable but an explanation video would be very usefull. I know some people loosen them when doing the belts. That would be great to cover aswell. Keep it up the 696 videos are very useful . Layshaft seal may be in your future i see. Another good video idea. I also haveto do mine so it would be very usefull😂
Great video, thanks for sharing 😊, I would have changed the tensioners though, Best to be safe than sorry. I know they would most likely be ok but i just couldn't take the risk. 😊
I don’t think it’s a bad idea because you are already there. Looking at the book Ducati refers to them as timing pulleys or spur gears. I do not see any specifications. I don’t think it is required on every timing belt change but I would check them to see if the have any friction to it and if not try to change them the next time.
I wouldn't take any chances, I would replace the tensioners... Every car i have had you change the tensioner roller, why wouldn't you on your Ducati?, it would be very costly otherwise. is it worth the risk?.
It depends. Since the intervals on these bikes is short. Yo are okay reusing the rollers. At the very least try to move them by hand to see if they roll without too much resistance. If they are dragging or requieres too much force to move them change them. I am giving you this answer without knowing the biles of your bike, but normally you don’t have to change the rollers with every belt replacement. Be safe!!
I temember that back in the day I when I got my first Ducati the replacement was at 7500 miles. But I am now looking at the Manual and it says. - Check Tension every 12 months or 7500 miles or 12 kms - Renew Timing Belts - Every 2 years or 15k miles or 24 kms. Hope that helps!
