SportbikerNZ Haha, true. Check out his Instagram @duc_doc

Which one is the mechanic?

Yes, most obvious and noticeable....just concerntrate

Filler_Erodo qZqq

Personally I think it's better that way.. everyone relaxed having fun..

Ah no we don't .. Honestly after seeing this ..hearing some jerk say: "...lets take another spark plug and jam it in there" would you this dealership near a scooter much less a $45K Ducati ??

Chris MHD Films first thing i did with my 1299 to lol i was thinken same thing you said lol

shops can not pull canisters....... fyi ...... fines big time

Haha probably true in general, but not that rare in the DRILL Ducati club. We ride! Last year I put around 5000 miles on my Ducati’s (terrible weather all season), the year before that around 6000. And we only get to ride about 6 months a year since Chicagoland area weather is generally shit. 😊✌️

Jay Marucci This was being done by a certified trained Ducati technician, I have no idea about the details here.

That doesn't mean it was done correctly my man. Im telling you that those opening cam lobes for intake and exhaust need to be sticking straight up 90 degrees in their "rest" position to get the proper measurement and cylinder at TDC. Your 1199 is no different. There are plenty resources that document that. Look here www.ducatitoolrental.com/Testastretta.html#Testastretta_Instruction I'm not a "certified ducati tech" but pretty damn good mechanic. I'm doing the DESMO service now on my Diavel. Beautiful bike BTW. Good luck with it.

Jay Marucci Not my bike actually, but thanks! Ride safe!

@@ilmostro16 REALLY which douchebag was that...I owned a 999, BCM over bore kit, FBF prep engine.. valves check are simply as it gets,,..Honestly IF I owned this dealership, I'd be having a meltdown over these assholes wondering around a customers $50,000 motorcycle horsing around like 5 year olds...A shame because GOOD Ducati service techs are few and far between...IF your thinking of buying a Duc, do not buy it here..If you own one and it needs servicing DO NOT get it serviced here...

I agree with you on this, but as long as the cam lobe is not acting on the rocker he should be ok. I measure my 996 in the top position and a few degrees either side. Cheers.

Not sure but I think it ends up around $1200 for the labor on average.

If I am correct it is a MOTUS V4 USA made. Seen one at the Barber Motorcycle museum in Birmingham Alabama in 2013 when I was over there.

Nothing insane about any of this. It’s a standard service for a Ducati every 15,000 miles. Costs range from $1000 to $1300 depending on the bike and how out of spec the valves are.

thanks for the info

Yeah cause Work like this happens so often LOL.

i can't imagine the V4 more fun

LOL 😂

You can’t see cam wear from the video, that’s just surface finish after thousands of miles. You’d have to take the cams to a CMM and measure their profile down to microns to see any wear lol. The cams will have far less wear in a Desmo engine than a standard one with valve springs because the cams aren’t under valve spring pressure all the time like standard engines. In a standard engine that uses strong valve springs, the cams have to apply enough pressure to push open the valves against the springs. There is none of that in a Ducati engine since there are no valve springs to force open. In fact, the cams aren’t under any pressure in a desmodromic valve system.

Im mechanic myself and sometimes folks like to hang around...its' pretty normal. But they respect what they see its like watching somebody making an art piece for them. Here its a freaking zoo.

James Wright-Roberts He was doing this for the group folks, it was a learning “event”.

The racing engine models (Panigale) have timing chains

In 25 years I had 8 Hondas, 1 Yamaha, 1KTM, 2 Kawasakis and zero Ducatis... But thanks for the info

LOL, that was the owner 😂

LOL, get off your high horse. This was a tech demo for the club and the bike belonged to one of the club members there. The job wasn’t finished with everyone around, only the process was shown off. I’m also sure our technician is far better than you cause he wouldn’t post such an absurd comment 😆

You think checking the valves is a complex service? What are you the oil change “technician”? If you cant do this job while 1/2 asleep i wouldn’t say you’re a “technician” at all.

What a bunch of dumba**es.

Says the guy who cant do a valve service....

The worst part is removing just about everything attached to the bike to do a service then remember where it all goes back together. Shit my old Triumph and XR1200 Harley is so much quicker to do a service I can see the S/Plugs, Man this is like living with a Super Model, 2 days to get ready to go out for 10 minutes show. Remind me not to go to this shop.

Lol bet you have fun doing the desmo valve clearances with all them shims that need checking and changing

This video is not a comedy, wasn’t meant to be funny at all. It also didn’t promise to teach anyone how to do a valve job, but just be able to see one and generally what’s involved. Doing valves correctly requires more than watching any KZfaq video, so anyone who wants to learn to do that shouldn’t be going to KZfaq.

IL MOSTRO I just realized it’s been 4 months without any response from me! If this video wasn’t intended to be educational! Then why did you upload it on KZfaq? Btw I work at Ducati dealership and don’t need to watch videos to learn how to do shit on my bike.howver, what’s the purpose of this shit video anyway?

@@Iraqitammar just curious, does one need to remove the clutch Pak to do a valve clearance adjustment on these motors?

Mystral Magic no you don’t.

"people".. many DOUCHEBAGS who are not funny standing around w/ their thumbs up their collective asses ..maybe that one guy should stick with working at a Dunkin Donuts, selling coffee, shitty 4 day old doughnuts and other vile crap that makes you sick !

SuperOMARKO LMAO

Why? To have even more complexity? And what mass production street bike has hydraulic valves anyway?

You like hydraulic valves? Do you also like valve springs weakening , causing valve float at high end speeds?

Steve Griffith High end speeds on my bike I 3k rpms, no worries.

Dam phone, I meant 3 k rpms

IL MOSTRO Most cruisers have them, no HP bikes do.

I'd hate to guess the final cost for this service, not counting the smart arse's annoying the mechanic.

Adjusting valves is not "ordinary maintenance.

Pretty sure there’s one mechanic here, and 9 noisy spectators 😆

LOL.... I’ve owned 3 Ducati’s and have never had any single service required problem. Valve adjustment is 18,000 miles so I didn’t make it yet on any of them (Monster was traded in at 10K).

Or just no engine at all, pedal bike is the easiest LOL.

Everyone was wasted 🍹🥂🍻🥃🍺

What, you never saw a Ducati gang bang?
