  • Here we go. Apologies for the sloppy video. I hope it can be a helpful tool for those who are trying to do this themselves or just want to know what your bike’s insides look like.
    For those that need an 1199 shop manual it can be found here.
    ducati1299.com/...
    FOR REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF INTAKE CLOSING SHIMS CONSULT THE MANUAL! DO NOT TRY TO REMOVE OR INSTALL THEM IN THE SAME MANNER AS THE EXHAUST CLOSING SHIMS! THERE IS A SPECIAL TOOL FOR EACH PROCEDURE. $$$
    Tools for checking valve clearances
    Ducati crankshaft tool (see manual)
    metric sockets and wrench
    3/8 in hex bolt for accessing crankshaft (or metric equivalent)
    Feeler gauges
    straight edge (for making sure camshafts are aligned when removing/installing)
    Pen and paper (or use attached spreadsheet)
    Shop Manual
    Tools for adjusting valve clearances
    Torque wrench
    Micrometer (optional)
    New shims
    Marked baggies
    Magnetic screwdriver
    Flat head screwdriver and mallet (for removing stubborn closing shims EXHAUST ONLY)
    Tool to reattach spring
    Patience
    Shop Manual
    Intake Closing Shim (special tools, see manual)
    Upon reassembly you will also need
    Torque Wrench
    Ducati Liquid Gasket
    Replacement Gaskets (if necessary)
    CONSULT THE MANUAL!
    The manual has in-depth guides with pictures showing you how and what to do. Research it and use this video as further illustration.
    The steps
    1. Check Closing/Opening clearances
    2. If outside of checking range (or comfort range) move to adjustment. I only say this because the dealer said that a little bit off isnt going to destroy your bike.
    3. Remove Vertical Camshafts
    4. Replace Closing Shims and opening shims (It is possible that a new closing shim will adjust your opening shim as well, the opening shims are much easier to replace so dont get discouraged when your measurements are not the same as when you started. The whole process is a little repetitive until you get everything right.)
    5. Install vertical camshafts
    6. Check clearances
    7. Repeat 4, 5, 6 until clearances are to your liking
    8. Make sure your engine rotates freely (if you are off a tooth on a camshaft you will hit a hard stop when rotating)
    9. Remove Horizontal Camshafts
    10. Step 4
    11. Install Horizontal Camshafts
    12. Check Clearances
    13. Repeat 4, 5, 6 until clearances are to your liking
    14. Step 8
    15. Put everything back together.
    Using a micrometer, Ducati gave me the wrong shim and I had to redo a step because of it. they have a tool to measure shims so make sure you are getting the right one, especially if the size isnt marked on the side. You COULD also sand down your shims if they need to be reduced in size. You would need a micrometer to keep track of the adjustment. SHOULD you? up to you.
    Im sure there will be questions and I will do what I can to help. I am not a mechanic. I am a graphic designer. But i love taking things apart and putting them back together. Dont take my word as law, find your own solutions to problems and use this video as another tool to help you through the process.

    Good vid. Couple of notes (from experience)
    use a magnet to pull the 1/2-rings off before you drop them into the head. the bottom of the valve are has holes to drain oil back down the engine.
    when putting hem back on, use a dab of grease on your fingertip and a small dab on the valve relief. the rings will 'stick' to the grease and be easier to put into correct position. make sure to seat the shim well (snap the closing rocker with the keeper spring) when these are all together.

    • @mikes8149
      @mikes8149 Рік тому

      will also add, do not take the closer helper spring off the rocker. to move the closing rocker off the shim, i use the plastic handle of a screwdriver between the backsides of the upright closing rockers. The spring tension of each rocker is equal, that makes moving the screwdriver to relieve the shim easy and smooth.
      BTW: doing that on a testastretta head is a FAR CRY easier from how to relieve a closer on a DesmoQuattro. (though, i have two DQs and love them! Including working on the heads.)

    The reason why i'm here is because my local Ducati dealer quotes me $1800 + tax to perform the desmo service on my 1199S. this video is super helpful and many thanks for sharing it with fellow riders.

      Too bad so many dealers are crooks. I'd like to think they would get more business, and repeat business by being honest and charging a fair amount. This, instead of ripping people off. I know if I had a Ducati, and a local dealer that was fair, I would have them do the valves, belts, etc., instead of trying myself.

    @19kiloman75 6 років тому +3

    When you are doing the valve adjustment you want to go closer to the lower end of the tolerance instead of the middle. The reason is because while you ride the clearance will get larger. If you set it in the middle you may fall out of spec sooner. Yes I am a certified motorcycle technician (triumph and Ducati). Just giving you a little pointer.

    • @chadsouthwick

  • @frankieforza
    @frankieforza 6 років тому +4

    One thing to remember on Ducati engines is shim math does not really work well, the shims never measure out to what they say they are. It’s pretty much trial and error you want to use the math to get close but is all about rotating the cams and making sure you feel no resistance from the shims it takes experience and practice. If you have never done it and have not been trained you are taking a serious risk doing this... I am a certified Ducati tech. Also before you remove closing keepers you want to plug all oil galleys because if you lose a keeper down a galley you will need to split the cases to find those keepers so they don’t damage your engine.

    • @chadsouthwick
      @chadsouthwick  6 років тому +1

      Frankie Forza appreciate the tip Frankie. I found a micrometer is a handy tool (used to not have one haha). Bike still runs so I lucked out. I never encourage people to do this if they have any doubt and always recommend my local shops for serious work. Respect.

    • @frankieforza
      @frankieforza 6 років тому +1

      Chad Carson good for you man I always have respect for people who do there own work, if you want to feel froggy you can take those springs out and re shim the engine and get more power out of the engine, the idle will be a little rough but it sounds sick and you get a little more power because those spring put a drag on the engine it’s more for race bikes if it’s your daily driver I wouldn’t recommend it...if you ever have the heads off if you take one layer of the head gasket off you can boost the compression a little bit as well.

    Dude... Just thank you. You are awesome for sharing this with everyone. I've always worked on my own bikes and my Hyper has hit the first Desmo service so I was debating taking it to a dealer or trying it on my own. I recognize the challenge, but I think I'm gonna go for it on the 821 now that I have seen it's not that intense. It's different, but it's just a motor at the end of the day and and I want to take it down off of the pedestal I seem to have it on and be able to do all my own work on it. Thanks for the confidence boost and all the knowledge. just hoping I can do the check and not need adjustment haha. maybe do a video for tear down and belts too next time?

    • @chadsouthwick
      @chadsouthwick  8 років тому +4

      thanks for the praise! find yourself a manual and go to town on it! panigale is chain driven so no adjustment needed for belts. double check your work, and do a video to educate others :)

My biggest concern is all the special tools. I'm looking for a good kit I can buy to be able to do the work now and in the future. Thanks again sir.

    The part about the shims, you compared them on the outside, that doesn’t matter, you need a shim measuring tool and a Vernier to get inside measurement so you can get new shim to put into spec.

    • @chadsouthwick
      @chadsouthwick  4 роки тому

      Totally agree. And the parts guy told me that when I was buying shims. I did measure clearances after though just to be sure and it was all good.

    @fastech2274 8 років тому +1

    Excellent video, but I have a question please - I am undertaking this operation myself on my 2013 1199R..... In the video you show how to tap on the closing shim to "break it loose" and remove the split rings - but what about on the intake side where they use collets. The manual shows the use of a very expensive tool to remove the valve collets from the intake valves when not removing the cylinder head. Can you tap on them to remove them as well, or are they more difficult to remove and hence I have to spend $500 on the special tool listed in the manual.Thanks, hope to hear from you soon.

    • @chadsouthwick
      @chadsouthwick  8 років тому

      you are correct. it's a pricey tool to remove it and a pricey tool to install it. don't smack it, it's torqued on tighter than the exhaust closing shims. I was lucky enough that my intake closing shims didn't need adjusting. If you have the engineering prowess to cut your own tool that could work. Just pray your intake closing shims are in spec when measuring.

      Sorry i didnt see my notification for this comment. The shim i showed was a 3.25 mm. not 3.5 mm. I increased the existing shim by .05 mm in order to close the clearance of the rocker arm by .05 mm. The original shim was 3.20 mm. Hope that helps.

    Would you happen to know the length and thread pitch on the OEM ducati crank turning tool? I am in the middle of performing this on my 2014 899 Panigale and I've ordered a crank turning tool that is nearly identical to the OEM Ducati tool.
    The bolt that came with the tool is a M8X1.25 at a length of 90mm. Unfortunately, it wont fit on my 899 Panigale. I had a M6X1.0 bolt lying around and it fits diameter wise, but the thread pitch is incorrect.
    I've also looked at the OEM Ducati crank turning tool and PART NUMBER wise it is for ALL panigales (899,1199,1299), but if the bolt that comes with it is the same as the one I currently have (M8X1.25) then It'd do me no good to buy it.

      long story short, the workshop manual. it gives illustrations and further instructions. basically you measure the cam clearance when it is not engaged in opening the valve. the manual shows what that looks like. there should be a link to it in my description. the tool you can order as a ducati part from any dealer or you can find a third party tool online.

      You can buy them from your dealer, they come in varying clearances to suit the adjustment. I wouldn't recommend grinding at all. It could cause way more problems. And by chisel I assume you mean shim.

    At what mileage should the valve clearance be done on a 2009 ducati 848 ?

    • @chadsouthwick
      @chadsouthwick  7 років тому

      I could be wrong but I believe the 848s are every 7500 miles.

      @TMackdownhill 7 років тому

      I heard the belts are every 7500 miles and the valve clearance isn't until 15k. then someone else told me 20-30k? Guess I'll call the ducati dealer since nobody knows :S

      Justin R. every year or twice a year if you ride it hard. it's just important to check. adjustments normally aren't necessary. I never put more than 10k miles on the bike when I owned it.

      What's even more impressive is that at 60,000 miles (2.5 years of ownership) my 899 was still in spec!!!! They were getting close to out of spec so I just got them closer to each other.

      just a tinkerer. bike has had almost 8000 miles put on it since and still runs like a champ. I tell people to not use this as instructions, just another reference tool along with the workshop manual and other guides. Just a fun winter project for me.

      I see. How do you like your 1199? I've always thought they were cheap for how much their msrp is, but never forgot how good the side fairings looked. I was never a fan of the sound and especially the headlights on how they not only looked, but functioned too. I guess I'm just a rare person.
