After watching this just changed the belts on my 900ss. Dead easy. Great how to video. Thanks Simon 👍

Simon, you're fast becoming the go to man for how to! Take it as a compliment from when I say I could work with you on my bike as I appreciate your calm (we can do it) manner and approach, brilliant and congratulations on the "new" bike, your wife/partner is a very understanding person lol

[Kongzi]

Thanks. It gives me the, together with other YT videos, confidence to tackle this one on my own on my ST3 😀

[JPFdsFds]

Thanks for the video, done mine today in less than an hour no problem.

The belt tensioner bearings are expensive. Solution since I can see yours are in need of service. Take them off. Cut the the shaft off the one and replace the shaft with a grade 8 bolt and get some 7mm bearings from your local bearing shop. The single none adjustable is just paring two 7mm bearing and reinserting the bolt no problems there either. You just saved yourself 600 USD for about 20 USD to replace them all. I have been over 2k miles and they are still in perfect condition. The problem is Ducati uses a plastic roller insert to separate the bearings and that gets pulverized inside the housing. So the balls runs free and eventually burns out. If you own a Ducati you know parts take a long time to get or are too expensive for most. You can spring for a like a german bearing cost like 7 dollars a bearing mine were 4 dollars a bearing but again i'm still running fine. Long trip to vegas on the broken one and then another trip to vegas on the Fixed one and what a difference. Vegas is a 4 hour ride from Los Angeles and my 2007 Ducati Multistrada 1100s has been a dream to drive. Expect to do all your servicing in LA as there is only 2 dealers here and one private mechanic that I have found so far. 951-640-8908 ask for Nick he's in Encino, Ca

Hey up Si, that "Duke" sounds nice a great looking classic to be, at 74 yrs old this year that will make me a antique 🤣take care and ride safe 🏍👍

I loved the low end power on my 08 hypermotar 1100. I just wish it has a top endpower too like my s1000xr. Thanks for making the video

[СерёжаКуликов-кб]

Tension of horizontal and vertical belts is checking with different crankshaft timing mark positions. 99-110 Hz? Workshop manual recommends 140 +/- 5 Hz for the new belts.

I’ve got an as new pair of oe end cans if your interested. Changed at 600ml service and dry stored in the original box. Cheers Tom

[dereknagy-ewki]

Subscribed : bought one of these last week, thanks for the heads up on maintenance👍

[jordangraham]

Hi there mate I’ve got Ducati 950 sp 2020 registration is it the same to change the belts please? I don’t know anything about them I’ve just bought it thanks

[bznupe]

Hey Simon
To rotate the valves you stepped off camera.
This was to check you had aligned the belts in the right teeth
And the valves were not going to bang into each other.
I trust you were spinning the back wheel..
You had left the bike in gear? Which one?
Thanks for a concise video.
Jude

Well explained and demonstrated sir ✌️

[alsipwoodpusher]

Question... (i have a 2012 796, i'm assuming this is the 1st gen as well, because you said air cooled?) one thing you didn't mention is how to get the crankshaft lined up (you already had it lined up before you started the video). Can you explain how to?

Also, do you know how old the belts were that you changed in the video, you mentioned it should be every 2 years, I've read that it should be every 5 years. Curious of just how old the belts were that you replaced.

Hi I need help with my ducati hypermotard 1100sp evo

[Handyman]

Yet again a very good knowledge based video. Just got myself a new toy a Sinnis T380 picked it up yesterday can’t wait to stretch her legs.

[tomcroysdill]

Of course. How’s this done privately tho? Excuse my ignorance!

[LemonDrizzleGang]
