don't know. doubt it'd make much if any difference. you could experiment and let us know.

sounds like you've missed the point entirely. you're certainly not alone there.

@bradthebikeboy Can you explain bit more?

@@Mcdoktor the point of this video was that i assumed that tdc is always just tdc, and that at any given tdc, the teeth on the timing shaft would be in the same place. not the dot or a specific tooth, but the teeth in general. as such, you could just set the engine at tdc using the locking tool, line up the cam dots at the inside or outside as they were when you pulled it apart (it's a while since i did this, i forget the specifics and i;'m not going to rewatch it to answer this), and it would all be correct. i was wrong. the teeth on the timing shaft are in a different place tdc overlap vs tdc firing, by about half a tooth. so fitting belts at one tdc will have the cams in the right place, but fitting them at the next tdc the cams will be half a tooth off. this was a valve adjustment - cams out, engine rotated who knows how many times using the piston to hold the valves up. so i was half right-ish, and i'd say using this method is still faster than the factory confusion. you lock the crank and it's either the right tdc or one crank rotation away from the right tdc. or just not rotate the crank past the tdc required to hold the valves up as someone else suggested. i was experimenting and learning. thought it might help some people if they really screwed it up or had disappeared up their own arses in confusion, and to de-mystify it a little.

@bradthebikeboy Hi. I m sorry. Outward is correct. I was wrong. I spin the engine in the wrong direction. Just checked now on the bike.

your suspicion sounds like rubbish to me, but you could always redo it and make them the same to rule it out. really no idea, you could be right. but why would it be louder with less clearance? i don't see that the closers would make noise, but i guess there would be something as the opening rocker pushes the closing rocker into the closing lobe as it accelerates the valve open. softened by the closing spring? not sure. surely it'd be less noise than a loose closer though?

@@bradthebikeboy Not sure what it could be then. I'll recheck the vertical clearances as they're easy to get to. Maybe I swapped an opener shim onto the wrong valve. It's a bit worrying to ride the bike when it makes a noticeable tapping sound

@@henryosborne4694 if you think there's something wrong then the only way to solve it is get back in there. sucks, but it's worth doing, if only for peace of mind.

do it a few times, it gets easier.

There's two bearings to fit into the head and it's pretty hard to put them anywhere else. need more info as to what you have and what you're trying to do.

@@bradthebikeboy I take new ones in and see the drawing maybe wrong. The 2 bearings on the gear side must have a socket between. In the exposed drawings they have that not.

Sorry my English is not perfect

@@Mechanikus01 between the bearings is the tacho drive gear on the horizontal and a steel tube spacer on the vertical.

@@bradthebikeboy ok thank you. So I was right. The exposed drawings are wrong.

i leave it as is. if you want you can jam something in there to take the clearance out, but it really makes no difference.

i can't see any oil having anything to do with popping. sounds like it's just lean.

i think it's the breather valve. i hear it a bit when turning engines over like this.

i would run an s2r1000 at 100hz

@@bradthebikeboy if you say so, i will do so thanks for the fast reply aswell. Im very grateful that you put out so many videos ive watched a lot in the last weeks but you always have a little tip and or Something that makes it a little easier so thanks a lot for such helpfull videos. Hope you have a great week, much love from germany ✌🏻

not really. 907 is the same as st2, what i would call a traditional 2v. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKjYd6Zpbb2JbKc

5 years or 20,000km. well, 2007> MS4R/RS would be 24,000km as they increased the major service intervals to 12,000km.

19020013a is just the generic steel pack. i haven't bought one of them for years, so don't have any idea what they're supplying now. usually that was the very outside plate used up until 91 or so. sounds like you've been supplied the wrong part to me, or it's in the wrong box. wet clutch packs were like that up to 97 too. should have 7 of the same style frictions, 8 of 2mm steels and 1 of 1.5mm conical steel.

Thanks, this is helping alot

@@bradthebikeboy it definitely a old style 750 clutch pack with the clutch slave in the clutch cover like the paso or 88 sport and early 750 SS. Thanks

i use a 3/8 extension, but you need to be mindful that the valve is sitting on the top of the piston, and you'll bend it if you hit the shim too hard. just tappy tappy tappy for as long as it takes. the collets can be a real pita, i use a little screwdriver or pick. the biggest concern there is losing them as they fly away. you can have the shim down a touch, but tstill covering them somewhat and get a pick in between the ends of the collets. no magic method though. generally, the stuck collets is a real 1198 thing ime.

​@@bradthebikeboyCheers. The tapping with the extension trick worked well. I hope the other 2 valves I used with the hammer aren't bent ... Still need to get those bloody collets out whilst struggling with a plastic pry bar against the rocker

the retaining plate. subject of this video.

spanner or right angle screw driver?

@@bradthebikeboy ok, figured maybe i need to get a longer spanner. thanks attemping now!

106 degrees ish, depending on the piston to valve clearance. that would determine it. probably as advanced as possible to maintain 1.5mm piston to valve clearance.

i'll do a video on stands.

@@bradthebikeboy the would be great. I look forward to it !

at what time point in the video are you seeing this? this bike has a lot of stains from fuel leaking from the tank.

no idea. find a little spring shop i guess.

@@bradthebikeboy Thank you !!! that helped alot. Ill order asap

guessing you can't be bothered watching and just want answers huh? i have said many times, if you have no intention of adjusting the clearances, just go and do something else instead of checking anything. there's really no point. do it right, or just don't do it. simple. if you go by the ducati specs it's probably fine. it will be for a long time. want it to run as well as it can? it'll need adjusting. 0.10mm opening clearance, zero closing clearance.

@@bradthebikeboy that's a lot of words for a half-assed answer. Just like your videos, which I did watch through all 5 parts actually, but it's a lot of rambling and not much doing so naturally people skip over a lot of it. No worries, found a more concise and to the point video after I asked that question which answered the simple question I asked.

@@sbk1198 finding an answer that tells you what you want to hear is the trick.

it doesn't matter what i do mate, someone always complains. got any idea how many hours i spend editing these things?

@@bradthebikeboy That's not a complaint. That's an entitled bufoon cause he shouldn't have to sift through your effort to cover the many variances of Showas in a single vid. "Can you make a version that only covers my fork cause you're wasting my time about forks that I don't even own?" "Less knowledge please ." said no one ever.

all threaded, with an o-ring under the nut on the inlet.

Ok merci, mais ma st3s est de 2006. Dommage

@@michelbelka5763 2006 is a linear tps, reset electronically via a diagnostic tool only. there is no mechanical adjustment.

👍 merci beaucoup pour cette réponse, maintenant il faut que je trouve l’ appareil électronique

no, i'm in melbourne.

if it's all apart i'd set them to 12mm as they fall to closed, not with the carbs fully upside down. no point waiting until it's all together to find it needs to come apart again. occasionally they're off.

get some generic glasses from the chemist with the stronger lenses. +3 are great for helping to see things.

yeah, i wouldn't own them if i had to pay someone to work on them.

​@@bradthebikeboy I always said I like a challenge. But I'm used to the Japanese inline 4 type of challenge. Have you any general advice about getting started in the Ducati world? They seem amazing machines for those prepared for them

@@Khar_Toba it's just a motorcycle, it should be expected to behave as a motorcycle. don't buy into the typical "temperamental italian mistress" bullshit some blokes just love. spend the money to do things properly, or just don't bother.
