- Timing belt change on a 2012 Ducati 1100 Evo.
Before doing this job you should really put one of the cylinders at top dead center. I did not do this in my video. Check out some videos online for how to do that. This will prevent the timing gear from dropping down and possibly causing damage to the engine.

Top tip to save having to mark the cam wheels. On the left hand of the engine each cylinder head has a bolt near the centre of the side plate. Take that bolt out, of each plate, and with the crank pulley dot in line with the line on the crankcase, put a 6mm drill bit in each hole and the pulleys are locked
Thank you! Years later I came to realize / learn this too. I'll have to remake the video.
Do you have manually align the crak pulley and lines with this method? If so, how is that done? I'm going to tackle this job as soon as my belts arrive, this weekend I hope.
Only Ducati would make a bike that you tune using fuckin sound. Learned something new today.
Thank you from France. I think you can use the historical méthod of allen (hex) key of 5 in replacement of frequency adjustement.
Are you sure you can still use that method on the newer DS engines? I thought that method is redundant now
@@gh51popescu yes i am. Now I sold my EVO. But I checked the belt with this kind of trick 2 years after replacement made by my Ducati dealer. And it was perfect. 👌
Honestly I am an automotive engineers and regarding the timing belt on a modern car, the Ducati system is old school. You just need to check every one or two years.
More over the frequency method is now obsolete in automotive, it was more precise than required, and too complex to use for dealers.
@@grumlygrumeau2564 I agree, the frequency method is far too complex and from my experience the frequency readings are not consistent from one app to another. Have decided to take the bike to a local shop to have them checked professionally. I hope they don't charge a fortune
Thanks for your thoughts and all the very best
I don't understand why people count the teeth on the new belt to make sure it's the same as the old belt. As you mentioned, as long as the teeth match up with what's on the casing, you're good to go. What am I missing?
Ryan I completely agree. I’m not sure why there is so many steps / concerns on other videos that take an hour long to watch
It's because all have been terrified by Ducati services, that if they do replace something themselfs, they definetly will destroy the engine. In Moscow, Ducati services can push you any part, just because they have inner vision, that it needs to be replaced, with no explanation. And people go for it.
Great vid! Thank you for giving me the confidence to tackle this job. Valve clearance tutorial next!
Brilliant video many thanks
@1:27 I think it's called a cog or cam?
Thank you.
Solid video - how hard was the exhaust reassembly- would you remove the exhaust next time?
Not bad at all
How did you move the horizontal cam back?
You can rotate it with your hands, has some torqued tension on it.
Wow,... i almost feel asleep listening to this.
A least there wasn't the usual yank lip smacking amd constant 'um like' etc.
