Better to rotate the engine few times to have the set in nicely before tension adjustment.

What an outstanding job from the photography to the fact that you are very easy to understand! Very well done!

[@kevinoneill9247]

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.....👍

[@medioman74]

Man, you're my hero! Thanks to you i can now service my beauty with confidence

[@adamc2136]

It's looking nice and shiney. Love the attention to detail.

[@SPBNicDaniel]

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)

[@johnroos5807]

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

[@CORZER0]

Excellent. Thanks, man!

[@kiwipower9036]

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.

[@sarkisvega5842]

Viele, viele, viele, danke Bruder...!!! Du bist Toll...!!! Toll...!!!

[@FranciscoGalicia]

Awesome video. I am doing my Xdiavel S and this definitely helped

[@jeffvanwyk1604]

Really awesome tutorials, thanks for documenting it so well

[@bxl1121]

Nice. I'm about to buy 848 evo and I wonder should I replace cam belt tensioner as well?

[@MrJazazello]

You make it look so easy 😅

[@TheSwampDaddy]

What marker do you use for the belts? Same as you would mark a fastener?

[@ariesnicolas4528]

Hi i have a multistrada 1200s also 2012 igot d bike broken so I can do some timing marks on cams where do I start to have a good timing

[@christiancourchesne1633]

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.

[@PracticalEnthusiast]

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.

[@Speedytrip]

That explains why these services are so expensive...

[@nixdrone6621]

Hallo sir , can you Tell me plase if the same thing is whit ducati 848 Evo ? Thanks

[@TheNixonification]

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 KZbin if there may be a problem that you aren't seeing.

[@PracticalEnthusiast]

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!

[@keithrobinson992]

where are you located can you do a timing belt on 2016 ducati mutistrada

[@anneandrosshemsley642]

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: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJ3Uepxobd2Up5o (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.

[@DIEZ919191]

I can’t believe they charge so much for this work!

[@santiagocamacho1077]

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?

[@PracticalEnthusiast]

The music comes from the KZbin audio library. Lots of music to choose from!

[@santiagocamacho1077]

Practical Enthusiast you pick good tunes. Can’t say I recognize them.

[@xplorerer]

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.

[@PracticalEnthusiast]

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.

[@kevinzahra1389]

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]

Unfortunately not! I haven't owned a newer Ducati with the DVT engine yet.

[@kevinzahra1389]

@@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.

[@DK-lc9uq]

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]

Hi, yes the principals will be the same. No special tools are needed other than the frequency phone app for setting the belt tension.

[@DK-lc9uq]

@@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.

[@PracticalEnthusiast]

@@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

[@DK-lc9uq]

@@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.

[@johnnydeep7372]

Hello what a belt code when i want to buy..

[@sholaisen]

Would mind you servicing my bike anytime 😎👍 Great videos

[@mikemccartney4300]

110Hz means you are tuning the belts to an A in concert pitch!

[@glenwallace6314]

Pull the covers off and tune my guitar

[@jlbpurchases162]

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.

[@canturgan]

Maybe they could have used chains instead of belts. Heavier but longer lasting.

[@CoreConnect]

hi. New belt tension is 90 Hz

[@PP-wz7mp]

110Hz

[@fokjohnpainkiller]

You check tension as if they were guitar strings? Unreal

[@PracticalEnthusiast]

Yep, pretty wild

[@user-xk8qm9re9q]

La procedura non e' corretta vanno bloccate le camme e allentate le puleggia x recuperare il gioco torsionale

[@reubenfrankenfield6442]

You taught me nothing by transferring the cog marks.

[@PracticalEnthusiast]

Well darn!

[@jovanr3938]

Ducati😂

[@mrp8339]

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 😮

[@PracticalEnthusiast]

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!
