If you're checking valves then the belts need, at the very least checking for tension. It only takes a few minutes to take them off/refit and in...
I wouldn't even consider leaving the belt on, how can you get any feel for tightness from turning the engine via the crankshaft?...
I don't know if it's the same on a 1098 but on my 916 I ground away the edges of a 22 ring spanner for this purpose, that way I can hold it still...
If the shim rotates then it's not really tight but how tight is it? After I've set mine (0.05mm closer), to double-check I stick a feeler equal...
I've never seen a groove like that, looks like it's been done during use (piece of grit or other foreign body in there?) personally I wouldn't be...
Very nice, too good to sell really - you should be keeping it. Good luck with the sale, someone will be getting a nice bike...
Further research suggests that in Australia a bike must have symmetrical headlights both on low and high beam so, if it has 2 lights side-by-side...
I don't have a 749 but I do have 2 Sargent seats; on the 916 and Monster. As you may have guessed I'm a fan. Less slippy but slippy enough, much...
Often wondered what the 5.5mm fits, I've got loads of sets of allen keys and in each one the 5.5mm has never been used and only used the 7mm once...
Not a 748, but this is what it looks like if the teeth of the belt meet at the tensioner pulleys; [IMG] This is the desmoquattro version; [IMG]...
Tightening clockwise will make a big difference, for a start the inside of the belt may rub against itself on the other pulley. If so it will...
Indeed, I don't see the point in the counting business either? The number of teeth between pulleys is not variable so as long as you've got the...
DIY rather than professional but I've used 'Q-bond' Q-Bond – Quick Bonding Ultra Strong Adhesive and Filling Powders with the black filling powder...
To be fair, this one's got some carbon fibre (or fake carbon?) to compensate... [IMG] [IMG] :Vomit:
On a 916? I've never seen such a thing, I'm thinking it's aftermarket. Australia got a pig ugly square headlight in the 916...
As above you need to do some slight modification to the latch bracket.... or get a mono subframe and save a couple of kg. :upyeah:
For what it costs, I'd probably change the bearing anyway. Have you removed the left side engine case? because there is a place where debris...
I would try a Ducati dealer, I believe JHP offer a chip burning service so they should definitely know what's what.
It is meant to be thinner and they're not highly polished so look a bit rough but I've not seen one quite that rough. Looks like something might...
Looks like it needs welding, tricky to do but it will likely only get worse if you keep tightening it, until a piece falls off.
