Ducati 996 Valve Adjustment

This video is a basic how-to for adjusting valves on a Ducati 996 super bike. The Ducati748, 916, and any other 4 valve desmoquattro motor will follow the same basic procedures. Testastretta will NOT follow these procedures. I'm obviously not a professional You-Tuber. Just looking to help others who might have questions on how to do such a task.

This is a long overdue update video on the front fender of my wife's Ducati Monster 620 I.e. Ultimately, while my wife is happy to have a carbon fiber fender, I'm still a bit less than fully satisfied. Customer service response was good though, no complaints there. I just don't think I'm going to go through the hassle again.
Aprilia Falco Sprag Clutch Replacement (V990 Gen 1-Falco, Tuono, Mille)
Переглядів 25 тис.4 роки тому
This is a how-to for replacing a Aprilia Falco Sprag Clutch (applies to V990 Gen 1-Falco, Tuono, Mille). It’s intended to be a help for those who are concerned about doing the service themselves. Aprilia’s dealer network is fairly sparse (here in the States), so much of the work must be done by the owners. Please feel free to comment helpful hints or where I might have something incorrect.

I like the sound significantly better than with the water-proof case. The Google "auto steady" makes the video appear floaty, but it's better than shaking.

what ktm model is this from i have the same problem
58440026000 part#
Thank you very much!!
the bearing is from ktm. the gear and the base that screws to the steering wheel are the originals;
Correct! :)
thanks.!! now i will make it for much less money 💪👍
Just found my sprag clutch has gone on mine(Following a lay up oddly!) . This video is very detailed and clear, cheers!
Thank you!
Esse veio não pode ter folga?
Thankyou for a fantastic tutorial. I've got to do my 2004 rsv tuono and this has given me the confidence. Bless you.
Awesome! The worst part is breaking the flywheel nut. I cannot stress enough the importance of a lot of heat. I bought a cheap heat gun and left it on for something like 20-30 minutes. The bolt was super hot and it then came loose.
Looks like you use water wetter. Love that stuff
Yes I do!
So sad to find out this company is a chinese factory middleman. NOT made in Canada.. Dont really want Cheap Chinese parts on my Ducati.. They hung up on me when I brought this up to them... Great customer service..
Excellent work. I need to replace the stator but it is good to know how to do the spray clutch as well.
Does this mean you'll have two friction plates in a row?
Yes! My two were first to go in and then every other plate as per normal installation.
Would have been great to see you remove a lot of the stuff required to access.
Checking rocker arms for the chrome flake of rocker arms at 30:00.....useful thankyou.
Hi thanks for the video, can you remember the part number of the replacement sprag kit you used thanks from New Zealand
Hi there! I used KTM#58440026000. Orientation matters. Make sure you install so the locking mechanism works correctly (as shown in the video). Thanks, and I would love to come visit NZ someday. What a beautiful country!
Thanks so much just one more question if you don’t mind how did you align the crank looking tool im paranoid about turning the engine over whilst it’s apart… thanks again
@@Nissankingcabute no problem. I took out the spark plugs and placed a screwdriver in the cylinder. Rotated the engine using the back wheel to the top of the stroke. The divot into which the locking tool fits was fairly simple to find. You could also remove the valve cover and get the timing marks aligned with the cams. My way was fairly straightforward. If it didn’t slot in I backed the tool off a bit rotated the wheel slightly and then tried again. I think it took me two minutes, including trying to sling the wheel with the tool engaged. It WILL NOT turn if you have the tool properly seated.
@@motorcyclemicah6309 thanks 🙏
Hello there, does the cam/crank sensor goes in there, in the case, if not could you please indicate where. Many thanks
I don’t recall removing the crank sensor for this project.
How much if I bring my Duc to you? The video helped a lot but the whole thing is still nerve wrecking. Mine is a 1999 748.
Hi Pilin. I wish I had time to work on other's bikes. It is quite relaxing. That said, simply take your time. The super bikes were designed to come a part with fair ease. It was nerve wrecking the first time I did my own too. After you have buttoned everything back up, and. before you put the spark plugs back in, rotate the rear tire in gear ( 4-6th gear) to see if you feel any binding. You'll IMMEDIATELY know if you have a bind. If you have no binding, and you have rotated the rear wheel backwards for several revolutions, you should be okay. But really, taking your time is the best thing you can do. Take pictures when you do. If you get stuck, then there are some great folks on Ducati.MS who can help. I will help answer questions as best as I am able. My next video will be the valve clearance check/adjustment on my Aprila Falco. It's a bit over due.
hello there, Ihave the same problem with my rsv mille 03, can you please tell me the model number of ktm part that fits aprilia rsv 03. thank you so much
58440026000 is the part number. Please double check that the sprags are the same between the year you own and the 99-02 Mille. The second generation RSV uses a completely different part.
How do you find top dead center in the falco? There's no timing mark from what I can see in the flywheel.
Hi there, Austin. I locked the crankshaft by using Aprilia's special tool I referenced int he video. There's a notch it locks into to keep the crankshaft from turning while you apply torque to the flywheel nut. From what I understand, finding TDC will be important for valve clearance checks as this will have the piston at the top (in case a valve falls while you work on it-shouldn't fall all the way in), and there is no compression on the valves for checking. There are timing marks on the cam shaft wheels. I need to check my clearance this winter, and will be doing a video on it.
@@motorcyclemicah6309 sounds like I've gotta either pull the cam cover then, or get an inspection camera down the spark plug hole?
@@MrAustinkocher if you want to find Top Dead center, you will need to pull the cam cover off and line up the timing marks on the cam wheels. I am curious to know how you’re planning on locking the crank shaft down. That’s going to be very important because as you apply torque to the crank shaft bolt, you will turn the crank shaft. And that will mean that you’re not able to fully apply torque to the bolt.
@@MrAustinkocher one more way to find top dead center is to pull a spark plug, and stick a screwdriver into the cylinder. Turn the crank until the screwdriver reaches the top of the stroke.
@@motorcyclemicah6309 I purchased the tdc lock like you have in the video.
Very informative, thanks! I did an oil change on my new to me 748 with 22000 miles, and found several flecks in the strainer, which got me very worried I'd bought a lemon. Through watching your video I've realised that all is not lost, it's only time and money, right? BTW does that clock not do your head in? It would me... 😂
Ha! I hardly hear it as I tune it out these days. Just used to it I guess. Come to think of it, the clock is pretty loud.
Good luck on your 748. Rockers are definitely not an end-of-the-world problem, though they are a bit pricey. Also, depending on who did the prior maintenance, make sure the plates that retain the rocker pins are not getting chewed up. These plates are at the top of the head and must be removed before accessing and pulling the pins. I was getting flakes, but it was those as the pin was rubbing on the plate just ever so slightly. Pins should be tapped back in until flush.
@@motorcyclemicah6309 Thanks for the heads-up about the plates. I'll have a look at a fiche to see what that is. Or rewatch your video 😁
@@TheOriginalCoda Not a problem! You'll see the plates that are held by 5mm bolts. You must remove them in order to get to the pins to pull the pins back so you can remove the cams. They are on the heads, between the cams.
@@motorcyclemicah6309 Right, I thought those were what you meant. I cannot imagine though how those could cause flakes in the oil. I guess once I take mine apart it might become obvious.
sabes cual otra moto es compatible con esa para poder conseguirlo ala mía le.paso lo.mismo
Hi Angel atv, The parts are compatible with the 1st generation Rotax motor that Aprilia used from 1998-2002 (approximately). That would be the RSV Mille, Tuono, Falco, and Futura models, all of which used the 998cc engine in varying states of tune. I am not sure on other manufacturers using the same part, however, you might try searching owner’s forums asking them same question. They would more than likely be able to tell you what part numbers you need for a full and complete job.
Great video, but wow - feels almost like a total teardown is needed to gain enough access to do the work! Thank heaven I have a service centre within riding distance.
Having a service center is definitely handy! And the valve clearance job is a lot of work, but it isn’t overly bad. Next up my Aprilia Falco needs a clearance check, and I will record that. Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
Mouse speak up, can't hear you !
beggars can't be choosers. LOL, joke. Use a headphone, it helps! Watch out for commercials because those will be SUPER loud.
I think your crazy for not replacing the timing belts while you had them off... even if you still have 50% life left in them! But either way GREAT video, THANKS!!
Ha! Thank you! They’ll get changed next time.
Hi Micah. Still have the Cat? :)
I sure do! Just clicked over 80k miles. It’s time for a valve clearance check on it (and an oil change…)
It’s surprising to me just how well that bike is built. As long as it is run somewhat frequently, it just continues to work, and work well. I do wonder about the fuel pump. I may change that out for peace of mind given it’s 22 years old and probably long past its use-by date.
@@motorcyclemicah6309 My YZF is down with what I believe is a stuck float...I'll know more when the bike goes in for service. I still haven't cracked 10,000 kms with mine, (-and I bought it with 5000kms on the clock!).
Is the Orientation of the Bolt/PIn of the intermediate starter gear important`? Pulled it out and not sure if i put it back in the same way.
Yes, it’s important. The gear will not sit flush (if I remember correctly). On the video, you can see the orientation.
@@motorcyclemicah6309 I'm meaning the Pin/Axle itself where you put the gear onto, not the gear itself (there i put the "flange" backwards facing).
@@andrean_7725 Honestly, I’m not sure as I didn’t pull out the shaft upon which the gear rides. If there are no mating slots on the internal-to-the-engine side, then I would not think it matters. The gear simply spins on that shaft. The cover should have no issue going on.
amazing video, well done. im gonna do that to my tuono soon
Will it work for 2001 capornd evt
If it has the V990 engine, it will.
Very nice video, you nailed the real effort to perform a valve check and adjustment on a 4V. I noticed you are using a Motobatt battery and have purchased or fabricate a bracket since the OEM will not work. Can you share where you got this or the design details.
For the battery bracket, I had a small spacer between the frame and the battery box. It had always been there (installed by the PO), and I left it alone. Once I removed that little spacer, I found the battery *just* fits. I suspect the spacer was placed there due to the non-factory length bolt that was installed.
Great Job with the video, I should make one too I have had the same problem on a beat up broken 99 rsv1000 it ended up in my hands and I turned into a cafe racer since it was destroyed, sprang cluch was a repeated problem, I went with a few chinese replacements, and eventually I took a shot since parts looked identical and I got an OEM sprang assembly from ebay but from a 2008 Tuono. It worked great! and I love this bike its built like a tank with awesome handling abilities and one of the greatest sounds .. except for the sprag assembly problem. I think your sprang cluch also looks the same as mine, I hope I never have to do another replacement however I'd like to know which model replacement you used from the ktm. I think I had considered it at one time but never tried it. Oh for whomever made it this far into my rumble, note if you have the bike lifted while working on it, and after you get done and it doesn't start, before you waste time start with the simple stuff. #1 side stand to be up. #2 (happened to me), 1st gear was in and it took me 2 hours to figure it out after I did fuel and electrical testing :-). All good, awesome bikes.
Thanks! Definitely make a video or two!
keep the good work bro, fantastic!
Thank you! I appreciate it!
This is great. Also a Ducati owner in Arkansas. Closest is 6 hours away in St Louis. Thanks for the video.
Awesome! Glad to have another Duc rider here in the Ozarks. Great riding roads here!
It's actual easier than it looks if you have a mechanical aptitude, the last time, and first time I did my 853 I was actual shocked how easy it was to check the valves, and do the collet replacement, the removing of parts to access is what takes all the time up.....
Hi are those actual Ducati shims you use; because on Amazon i see some non Ducati shims, that say will work on a Ducati. Then what is the brand you are using. Thanks
Hi Herson. I got my shins from EMS Duc. LT Snyder purchased the EMS company. He’s an awesome resource. Check out his site at: desmotimes.com/product-category/products/shim-kits-half-rings/
I would be careful using just any shim off Amazon. The early Superbikes have different sizes than later bikes (like Panigales). You’ll want the right size for your year model.
@@motorcyclemicah6309 Okay, i appreciate that, your videos are great 🏍❤👍. Pura Vida
@@costar155 Used the valve collets from EMS on the last two Ducati's I did valve check on, both the 2 valve 620 , and 4 valve high compression 853 with no issues, my 853 would go 165-170 mph with a slight tail wind. I want to upgrade to their special collet kit that is suppose to keep the valve train rock stable above 10k rpm
How many km can 996 engine do?
A Desmoquattro should have valve clearances checked at 9600 km or so. Approximately 6000 miles.
I have a 1999 996S with 53000 miles on it. Had 1 bad rocker at about 30000 miles.
Ciao collega ottimo lavoro e ottima manualità bravo e complimenti per il tutorial. Vorrei chiederti un informazione riguardo alla lunghezza del perno dell'estrattore m22 x 1,5 (minuto 22:37) filettatura destra, ma quanto e lungo?? Circa 50 mm o +?? perché dovrei fare lo stesso lavoro per un Aprilia sl falco 1000 del 2002 Attendo una tua risposta grazie Saluti dall'Italia 😊
Should be 55.32mm (2.178 inches)
And thank you for the kind words!
You’ll only want to consider this repair if your Falco, Tuono, or Mille one way (“sprag”) clutch begins to fail. If it fails, you’ll hear it. The noise will sound metallic, which is the sound of the starter motor spinning and the clutch not biting on to the flywheel. Mine did this twice, before I put the bike away to learn what I needed to complete the repair. You shouldn’t do the repair if yours is starting fine with no abnormal noises. Thanks for watching and thank you for the question!
@@motorcyclemicah6309 Ciao intanto ti voglio ringraziare per avermi risposto. Allora sulla mia "falco 1000 V60" e da poco iniziato il così noto problema alla ruota libera i problemi riscontrati sono: 1- rallentamento dell'accensione della moto come se la batteria fosse scarica ma non lo è mi dà circa 12,5 12,7 ma va sotto sforzo comunque all'accensione. 2- qualche volta va in fallo il motorino prima con un crackk e poi si blocca e qualche volta gira a vuoto grrrr grrrr quindi metto la 2° marcia e lo sposto un po' avanti e indietro e riesco a farlo funzionare... il più evidente e quello dell'accensione debole. Quindi ho deciso visto che ho un po' di manualità di meccanica di farlo io stesso sono molto sicuro che riesco a farlo senza alcun problema so già che devo scaldare il volano prima dell'estrazione per scomporre la loctite e mettere il blocco albero dal carter opposto m8, non ero sicuro della lunghezza dell'estrattore m22 x 1,5 perché devo ordinarlo su internet e quindi volevo mettermi al sicuro prima di ordinare per non sbagliare. Non mi resta che ordinare l'estrattore m22 x 1,5 e procedere con l'estrazione del volano, una volta aperto valuterò lo stato di usura del cuscinetto, della flangia, e della ruota dentata e da lì deciderò se sostituire solo alcuni pezzi oppure l'intera ruota libera
@@motorcyclemicah6309 Grazie mille per la tua gentile risposta e ti faccio i miei complimenti per la tua conoscenza e manualità molto professionale. 💯👍👍👍
Excellent video... I am going to check my 748 this coming winter.
Thank you, Peter! These Ducati Superbikes are wonderful machines. And hopefully, this helps give owners without a dealer or dedicated Ducati mechanic an opportunity to do the work themselves. It’s not a difficult task to do, just take your time. Thanks for taking the time to watch the video. Obviously, I’m not a pro UA-camr, but I appreciate people spending their time and getting something useful from it.
@@motorcyclemicah6309 yes I love my 748.... its a summer toy .... the look..the noise..the torque..... its an icon.
what size ktm my bike is needing the samed thing
#58440026000 is the part number. Just be aware that the orientation matters when you put it in. It works great! I would caution about no-name Ebay parts. Make sure you get the actual KTM part. Quality is important here.
Ducati dealers aren't going to like this. Excellent job! You've taken me a huge step forward in tackling this job.
Thank you, ducrider13 fab. Some folks want the Ducati experience, but are concerned about the mystique around valves and belts, etc. In fact, I bought the bike without checking first - but no dealer locally would work on the bike given they did not have the "special tools" needed. And the closest dealer is a 3 hour drive for me. So I was left with my dream bike, and needed to learn how to maintain it myself. I have done lots of reading of the service manual as well as asking other owners who work on their Ducatis questions to better ground myself. There is such good help out there, and I wanted to create a comprehensive guide as best I could to help someone like me. Thanks for taking a look at the video!
Very helpful video, thank you! I will be doing mine soon, watching this with a strong cup of tea really helps me prepare... 🏍
Thank you! Honestly wasn't very difficult. Having time to work on it is helpful! I couldn't find anything "out there" in video form that would allow me to watch over someone's shoulder. Hopefully - this helps folks enjoy their Get 1 Aprilias more. They're fantastic motorcycles.
Love it man! The Duc sounds so good!
Thanks! This was a fun ride. Really enjoyed it.
Best video ever on how to check rocker arms and adjust valve clearances on a desmoquattro engine!
Thank you! I hope that it helps someone who may not have a dealer nearby that will work on them. That’s what happened to me.
Thank u very much for taking the Time to show us how to fix sprag appreciate it very much as for the two thumbs down haters gotta hate mate
You're welcome! It seemed very daunting when I was researching how to change it. I couldn't find any other videos, so I decided to help others out and make a video myself. I'm obviously not a professional UA-camr. Ha! But hopefully, I can shed some light on the process so someone in the same predicament can fix their own, given the small Aprilia dealer network. The early Aprilias are such good bikes.
How did you quite the clutch?
I simply added an additional drive plate at the back of the clutch pack. Very simple process.
@@motorcyclemicah6309 so i have already 2 steelplates back of the clutch pack, 1 extra steelplate will do?
@@zeppo08 try it. But in testing, make sure the clutch operates correctly. It should engage and disengage fully. There should be no drag when engaged with the clutch pulled. The clutch should be able to take full power in sixth gear without slipping.
@@zeppo08 if any of the above occurs, that indicates the clutch is worn out And due for replacement.
Did they give you the runaround, or was it pretty painless to get the replacement? I heard some horror stories about them telling customers to sand or drill larger holes, etc. when pieces didn't fit. Hopefully they're better now.
They did not give me the runaround. I sent them pictures and the video link here. They requested a video of me destroying the original fender, and then they sent another one. I really need to make an update video. The new one fits, but you can tell it's not specific to the 620 Monster as there is a speedometer hole pre-drilled. There are two issues with the new one: 1. The back clearance JUST barely clears the tire - but it does clear and does not rub. 2. The front of the fender is offset. Meaning that it "points" just off center. The more I crank down on the mounting bolts, the straighter it becomes; however, I'm not willing to crank down hard on the Ducati plastic fender brackets any harder than I have (they looked pretty torqued) for fear of stripping them out. It is fairly visible when looking at the bike square from the front or if I look over the instrument cluster. You can't tell from the side. I suspect I will buy a different one from another company to rectify. Thanks for the question - it's a reminder I need to make an update video.
how come this part fails? i have rsv 1000r from 2007 with 6000 miles . I have had a bad battery for long time and i will change it tomorrow. Do I need to worry?
I wouldn't worry about it until the part actually fails. You'll hear the starter spinning without engaging the motor, which is when you'll know one of the starter clutch ("sprag") components has failed. Keep a strong battery, and keep the battery on a battery charger to keep it maintained. A strong battery, per my understanding, is the best way to keep a starter sprag in good health. 6k miles is not a lot of miles though. Mine went 22k miles or so before needing to be replaced.
Apart from sprag clutch wot else do I need to budget for i really love the sound of these

Great video! I am new owner of tuono 1 gen and i have some questions for you. How do you spot a bad sprag clutch please? When im starting the bike when its cold i use full Gas lever and its starts fine. When i start the bike when its warm and when im not using throttle while starting it then it will start make noise like clanking. I had bad battery Last week and when i tried to start it and it was making the same sound si i stopped trying and buyed a new battery. My question is if that sound is normal. Thank you and sorry for my english.
TheLowabot no worries on the English. A bad sprag causes the starter to spin, but the engine does not. So it sounds pretty bad as the sprag clutch “teeth” are not biting on to the flywheel. At the end of my video, you should see and hear what a normal start sounds like. Note that the noise coming from the bike when I turn the key to the “on” position is the fuel pump, which is noisy if I leave the bike for a few weeks. That was it’s first start in 5 months.
@@motorcyclemicah6309 Thank you for the answer. Mine makes sound like this ua-cam.com/video/xr2Dv2r_sA0/v-deo.html.
@@TheLowabot That sounds like a sprag letting go. The repair isn't too bad at all, though it's a little time consuming. Install the new battery, and then test it out with the "choke" lever fully on. It should start normally. If you get the clanking sound, you'll want to order parts for the repair.
hi m8 fantastic vid what ktm is the sprag clutch of that you are fitting in your apriia and woul it fit a tuono 2006 cheers m8
David Hopkins I don’t think it will fit a 2006 Tuono, unless it uses the Gen 1 engine. By that time, Aprilia was using the Gen 2 (I think).

Tom Bryson That’s a great idea! I’ll film once mine need to be replaced. By the way, as you don’t have the crank locking tool, consider locking the rear wheel by using a piece of wood through the wheel spokes in order to achieve proper torque on the crank bolt.
Me too Mille
