Facom tool

Discussion in 'Ducati General Discussion' started by Loverobot, Jan 8, 2013.

  1. Changing belts on a 2001 748s for first time
    Have changed 600ss belts before and used deflection and allen key methods with no trouble
    Have picked up a facom dm16 tool for this change
    Also have a guitar tuner on hand
    Does anyone use the facom tool and what tension setting do you use? (waiting for tool to arrive)
    Re a guitar tuner - what frequency is recommended and what does this equate to - presumeably in strings or mhz!

    Thanks
     
  2. Have a look on ducati upnorth in the tech section you will find a good guide to belt changing.
    This has the facom tool and shows which setting to use etc.

  3. for a 4 valve I have used the No 4 'shim' and adjust it so the bottom of the top groove is aligned. 2 valve could be set slightly looser without any harm occurring.
     
  4. Used the Facom many time on mine. From memory it's the no 4 one.
     
  5. Brilliant guys thanks for your feedback
    Tool arrived today and looks v good
    Will be good to set tension properly from now lol
