Great video here. I bought a 2012 MTS 1200 and like you, have enjoyed stripping every part of it down and bringing it back to new......watching this video helped me do the belts which was easy once you take your time. Haven't done the valves.....yet....... Keep up the good videos.....👍
Hi mate, vertical cylinder TDC position shown in the video is slightly wrong. it is 270 degrees from horizontal cylinder TDC , but 270 degrees of crankshaft turn. camshaft pulley turns at 1/2 of crankshaft speed, so it is 135 degrees of camshaft pulley turn forward (which is about 3 o'clock dot position)
Just like PeaceXthroughXmusic said! You do a great job in speeding up some of your vids!:) Only the parts that you can speed up... Kudos! Semper Fidelis
I didn't realize that you were even still posting videos. I was subscribed and you hadn't come up in recommended videos for a good long time, since about the e30 videos. I think something happened because I see the precipitous drop in viewership with no real drop in quality or interesting content. I turned on notification bell to make sure I don't miss future videos, but you may want to shoot an email over to RU-vid if there may be a problem that you aren't seeing.
Thanks for the info - I had wondered about that. I just figured everyone was here for E30 content and nothing else! I appreciate you stopping by again!
Have you done a Tutorial of a Ducati Diavel Gen 2 Belt Replacement ? I had followed you on other Videos doing a Great Tutorials how to. Looking forward to see a new video on A Diavel as I am doing my belts replacement in a few months
@@PracticalEnthusiast I was not referring of DVT Engine ,was referring of Gen 2 Diavel Testastretta 11° Twin Spark engine ,I am not sure if the one that you work on is the same engine. Tks for you reply.
Great video. At what interval do you change the belt tensioner and idler pulley bearings? I would do it every time a belt was changed as the bearing is probably only worth $3.
Quick question for you. At 8:21 in the video, you mentioned when installing the new spark plugs you mentioned using that long tool to help insert the spark plugs. Do you need a special tool like that to start screwing in the spark plugs or would I be able to use my extended attachment for my ratchet to start it? I wouldn't think that using the extended ratchet attachment would cause an issue, but I would definitely rather be safe than sorry. I just bought the same bike myself, the S version, and I'm changing the spark plugs myself.
The problem with using the socket/extension to install the plugs is that the plug will fall out of the socket. You might get away with lightly taping the plug to the socket to hold it in while lowering the plug down.
Seriously underrated channel! Loved the E30 series. After driving in the B8/H&R combo for a while would you do anything differently? Looking to refresh my 325i touring soon and would love to hear your opinion.
The B8s were overkill for the street. The ride height was perfect though. I would probably recommend Bilstein's more road focused struts and shocks for a more compliant ride.
I love your videos! I appreciate the technical guidance you present and the clean methods you use. But the most unexpected thing I’ve come to enjoy is the FUNKY AS HECK music you use, can you elude to where you are getting it from?
Great video. I probably watched it 20 times and it gives easy step by step instructions. Because there is no mention if the tensioner cam should be rotated clockwise or counter-clockwise, I would recommend this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BlqIi28xaq8.html (at 28:30). I haven't started the bike yet so don't know if I did everything right. But it's really pretty straight forward. Just very time consuming. Thanks for posting. I'm a subscriber after watching.
The frequency of 110 Hz is widely recognized as the fundamental pitch of the human voice. It holds significant cultural and spiritual significance, as both Buddhist and Hindu practitioners utilize this frequency when reciting their sacred mantras.
Hello sir, is the principle for a hypermotard 950 SP engine from 2019 the same as this engine? Im looking for a way to change the belts myself anytime soon. And do you use a tool to turn the crank shaft? Of do you NOT use any tools? Hope to hear from you soon. Greetings Dimitri
@@PracticalEnthusiast Thanks for this quick answer. Don't understand why so many people make it look like you are working on a space ship (they say it's very difficult and hard to do). Do you happen to have (or made) a how to about this? Not that your clip isn't helpful, but sometimes I like to have something on writing too :-) Have a blessed day.
@@DK-lc9uq the belt change can potentially be more complex with a DVT engine - I've never tried it myself. But, the 950 Hypermotard doesn't have DVT, so you'll be good to go. I made a write up a while back on changing the belts on my 996. Unfortunately all the pictures in the article are gone now. Not sure what happened there. It's pretty much the same info as in the video though: jalopnik.com/its-cheaper-to-maintain-a-ducati-than-you-think-1793896003
@@PracticalEnthusiast Thank you, you're a lifesaver. Yeah I once saw a video of someone doing difficult things with the valves, locking them with a kind of tool. And telling without this tool it's much harder to pull it off. I guess that's what's needed with a DVT engine? Have you written also a how to of checking valve clearances? Thank you so much. Greetings.
Sorry pal but there is absolutely no need at all to mark the belts and transfer the marks...its just a belt nothing more.. the important thing is timing marks and tdc not need to mark belts at all ...they don't mark new belts at the factory when they build them 😮
Yeah I would absolutely never trust installing a belt without knowing exactly how many teeth should be between each cog. Too many variables you'd be taking for granted without comparing markings directly from a known working timing belt that was just removed. But I wish you continued good luck with your method!
