Best 916-998 tutorial on KZread! So many others just skip through things(like disassembly). Thank You!

Hallo, and thanks for your great Video. topp!! Greetings from Germany Ralf R

916 is a true icon.

999 owner here, ive had the new belts in the shed for months but been dreading doing the job. You make it look simple!

Just got to get stuck in, it’s actually really simple 👍👍

Love this era of Ducati ❤

Now to change them on mine… Just need to buy the belts… oh, and the Ducati 😁 Fine video.. I enjoyed it 😎

996 owner here 👋 that is CLEAN. Great to see coverage on this era of Ducati 🎉 Things that will make it even better / less problematic: 1. Change the fuel filter 2. Check the valve clearances 3. Change your clutch basket and plates - they have notches in them. Theyre a little "too" noisey

Couldn't agree more!

Lovely bike. I have a 2000 996 and absolutely love it. I bought it in 2010 and will probably never sell it. Mine has just over 13k miles on it and I sent it to the dealer for the last service as it was due for the valve adjustment which is something I am not comfortable tackling. I will certainly do the next cam belt change now that I have your awesome video for reference.

Couldn't agree more! Cambelts are okay for the average guy but vales couldn’t be a bit tricky and sometimes better to let people do them who always have the heads off ect!! Thanks for the watch 👍

Thanks very much 👍

I would suggest a nice loud termi exhaust on it,, a nice free breathing air filter if it hasn't got on, dripping carbon fibre all over it,,nice sticker kit,, one of carl fogerty ones maybe...maybe light weight wheels later,, suspension upgrades ect .

​@jamescrawshaw71 ohh...your ahead of me there ,, sorry I kinda forgot they would all cost alot, I thought you would say I ain't made of money..😂.can't wait to see the video, I still would have loved a duck 996,,the racing version if I could ever afford it.

Can’t wait to see this on the tracj

I’d love one of these.

Own an 1195 ‘10 RC8R gen 1 and a 2002 Ducati 996 Biposto in yellow which I pick up in 2 weeks. This is going to be a wallet saver!

Ahh yellow!! Such a great colour!! Glad to of helped 👍

Nice. I'm going to do my belts soon. One thing, I'm sure you know about the fast idle button under the throttle grip to help with cold starting?

I didn’t when I did this video but have learnt a lot since owning it! Had to set the idle properly too which is a lengthy process! Adjusting the screw is a bad idea and actually messes it all up…whoops haha

@@jamescrawshaw71 That's the thing with these ducati's, they're a thing unto themselves, lots of differences to 'normal' bikes 😁

Count the number and mark the teeth between all of the sprockets or you might be in for some worry. It is difficult to mark the vertical belt at the sprocket but take your time. If you do this step methodically you cannot go wrong.

nice

why no ducati 916 stickers on fairings and ducati on fuel tank mine is a 97 model that has them

I buy and sell a lot! Only have a couple or 3 at a time. It’s a lot of work but absolutely love doing these videos!!

giv me bike now!

"Good enough for me" is NOT correct, especially when producing an instructional video. The Gates checker is very good but should be used properly. The tension is measured on the "fixed" roller, NOT the "moveable" roller.........😢

Well when it’s reading the correct tension that IS correct for me and IS good enough for me!! I can assure you that I am checking the tension exactly where you are supposed to check it. So before devaluing a video make sure you get your facts correct.
