Ok seems to be something unavoidable! At the end of the day theres no way they can escape as they are held in place by the top shim. I’ve played...
[ATTACH] Hi guys, having recently checked the valve clearances on my 1299 panigale I’ve noticed that the exhaust side valve collets for the closer...
Yeah if they are looked after they are reliable! I think the engine is very strong tbh! I’ve had quite few track miles on mine (17000+) and with...
I suppose it’s a bit of a faff taking the fairings off but you can remove that unit without removing the airbox/frame. I’d imagine it would take...
Jesus £400 labour!!?? I replaced mine with a second hand one off eBay for £50. Only took me an hour to do. It’s all fine now. But seeing as the...
Yeah seems quite strange they decided to have the pin rest on thin plastic like that. I might enquire to find out what changes were made to the...
This happened to me recently! Exactly the same thing! Rediculous design! As you say the part has been superseded! [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

yeah it’s just engineering tbh and once you have general understanding of the system as whole it’s straightforward if you have the manual. You...
yes it’s pretty big investment and would probably be cheaper having it sent to somewhere like moto rapido to do. I just enjoy doing it myself....
yeah true! I suppose as you say time will tell when these engines have had more exposure in oil to see how reliable those gears are. I believe in...
Y es exactly its had a hard life up to that point. Everything was in spec except the exhaust valve guides and top con rod shells which were...
Ah thanks for that! That’s great I have heard a recommendation for refresh in the region of every 2500km!
Thanks yeah the bike has worn well over all! I’ve already given it a shakedown at Cadwell park and it ran well! It didn’t help there were 9 red...
A lot of race teams run the metal gears. But the ducati TRI options guys have been running plastic gears for years and I haven’t heard of many...
Sorry after reading your post properly I saw you’re referring to the left main journal, and not the rod journal that was smeared with grease. Yes...
Yeah that’s grease! I had smeared it with a coating of mineral grease to hold the plastigauge in place while checking clearance! The journal has...
Tbh I’m not sure! It’s the first time I’ve torn the motor down. Not sure if the Desmo valve train has something to do with it putting a side load...
Yeah I was measuring the valve stems for wear! The exhaust valve guides were pretty worn out and bell mouthed so had to send the heads off for new...
yeah I’ve had that stuff for a few years as I’ve refreshed Japanese bikes quite a few times before! That black thing is a ducati tool to correctly...
