Hey there im currently working on my s2r 1000 aswell and just adjusted the valve clearance, i also have to swap the belts would 110hz be good for new belts so they can strech out a bit and be at 100 hz or Something after a few Kilometers? My manual also says 140 but i recon this would do more damage to the berings than be an Advantage

Hi Brad, I was hoping you could help me out on a clutch related issue. I bought a clutch assembly Ducati code 19020013a which is apparently a replacement for 19020011a. The 19020013a holds a weird clutch disc which has friction material on one side and non on the other side. It is also thicker as usual. I do not have any reference where this weird plates should go? Do you know? Thanks Joep
@bradthebikeboy23 күн бұрын
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 for this Brad. You are lucky to have those rocker arm holding tools. What is your approach when the closing shims won't drop down to expose the collets, and when the collets are really stuck in the valve stem? My 72000km Multistrada has had stuck closing shims and collets on all of the vertical valves. Had to use a hammer and socket to bash the closing shims down and then a hammer and screwdriver to get the collets out. Bit worried I will damage the valve seal if not careful.
@bradthebikeboy25 күн бұрын
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.

Can the valve clearances be checked (not adjusted, just checked) with the engine on the bike and the belts on? I'm looking at a 796 with 12k miles and the owner doesn't know if the valves has been adjusted, but he did just put on brand new belts, so I don't really want to mess with the belts if I don't have to. Also what is an acceptable clearance for both openers and closers?
@bradthebikeboyАй бұрын
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.

i use the genuine tool. well, an old one. 887131062 looks like the one i have. it's just a couple of discs on a threaded rod that pulls them in. does work nicely if you use it well, always use the fixed disc to pull the cone in. otherwise they can cock if you use the floating disc i find. heat is up to you, but it's fairly easy to damage the paint around steering head tubes ime, much more than you'd expect. the steel isn't going to grow a lot, but it can help.
