Beautifully explained. Do not apologize for your Engish, it is probably not your native tongue. The fact that you can speak the English language well enough to convey your explanation is good enough. Some people who speak only English can't speak it as good as you. As a Ducati owner I enjoyed your video.

He missing a critical aspect of the design. There was no discussion of how clearance between the opening and closing cams is handled. The same thing applies to how the valve is held firmly closed by the closing cam. Other videos omit this important detail. From my observation the springs on the shafts are the secret to this functionality. The valves are held closed with these springs that make a (slightly) flexible joint in the closing rocker assembly.

Dude, I'm a fellow Indonesian and i know nothing of how ducati's desmo valves work until i stumbled upon this video. Keep up the good work man. Loved the video!

Very well explained, have heard of desmo valves but no idea how they worked, thanks to this video I now have a basic understanding. Thanks for sharing this video.

I used to know the guy who own the 748. According to him, the engine require to have valves adjustment on every oil change. That may be why it is not quite acceptable to be use in many applications other than in italian exotic.

Great explanation of how it works. Although I used to own a 2016 Ducati Multistrada 1200S and I had nothing but problems with the bike plus ridiculous maintenance costs (timing belts every 5 years…..are they kidding!!!!) means I would never ever buy another Ducati. I now own a Yamaha and love the fact it starts every time!!!

I laugh at comments like yours,these bikes aren't meant for people who have zero mechanical experience,or money,if you buy an exotic you have to be prepared for maintenance,insurance,and rego costs.

I had never seen this system before as I am not into bikes much. I love the way it is done.

Basically this valve system is a perfect definition of timing.... valve open and close so accurate that it makes the engine pick up so fast that it makes you feel it like its wildin ❤ absolute perfect machine

That was a great explanation! I’m looking at a Ducati right now and was interested in learning about their special valve system. Thank you for teaching me!

good video, and good explanation. I used to have a duccati 450 desmo... long time ago! Used to spend time for maintenance, but i had a very good time with this bike! Thanks for your time.

He explained it far better than native tongue English speakers......

Excellent animations and video, thank you.

Variable valve timing is complicated for desmodromic. 4-12 piston engine(car) is never reving higher than 12000 rpm. Desmodromic is to solve 19000+ rpm engine where no spring is feasible to follow that speed. That why ducaty bike is using this relics.

Great video, thank you for the breakdown.

Great video, thank you for taking the time and trouble to make it and publish it. Not sure how you did all these 3D Desmo drawings but they are awesome!

has anyone ever tried to do research by combining the roller rocker arm +desmodromic valve system? as far as I know from various articles on the internet that desmodromic often has problems in the rocker arm, the friction between the rocker arm and the camshaft makes the rocker arm not last long,

Excellent explanation and only 1 tip for English, slow down. Very well spoken and interesting to watch.

I think you"re doing an assignment for a mechanical engineering course in a non english speaking university, aye? Its just my 2 cents. Anyhow that was a rather comprehensive, clear explanation from historical overview to the technical aspect of desmo valve. Considering the video was about 9.00 mins.

Nice work

Will changing your oil more often, say every 2000 miles prevent the Desmo valve system last longer before needing to service or lets say, when serviced not needing much adjustment ??

Very cool. I’m interested because Ducati is introducing a dirt bike to compete in MXGP and American Supermotocross. Lots of 450 riders say the bikes already have too much power, so I’m curious to see how this engine in a dirt bike translates to rideability off road. Thanks for the great explanation!

gas bang mantappp

nice video

ok deh mas

Thank You ! Great video though i would like to add that I think that ( 1986 ) came quite a while after ( 1886 ).

i think the reason why the dont use it in automobiles these days is because of the friction caused from the rocker pushing the against the lob. Its a reliability thing I don't know anything by the way lol so take that with a grain of salt

Complexity and wear problems cannot be overcome, so this system will always be for specialized purposes, mainly used by Ducati's determination to not change. Freevalve is the future for all IC engines.

@rafaelrp07

Жыл бұрын

I thought the same when I saw it in video. Imagine the friction with the closing lobe...my guess to work it's just to guarantee that stays closed because it's natural position of the valve or it'll have a great loss to fiction. Or maybe in motorcycle is viable while in cars it isn't. And with FreeValve you can make a different map at each rotation and the driver selection (eco, sport, etc) eliminating timing chain, friction losses, etc.

Not a chance. Internal combustion engines simply can't compete with electric motors when it comes to peak power. They are not even close. However, internal combustion engines paired with a fuel tank can beat the HELL out of lithium ion batteries. And in that application high revving is counterproductive. Standard valves in a 60+% efficient 10-stroke simultaneous combined cycle engine that allows for a teensy tiny battery in a series hybrid is the future.

why the don't used roller rocker arm ? i guest it cant improve durability isue

1986 is different from 1896

the 1st ones besides the desmo valve train they did not use a cam chain either but had a drive shaft to drive the over head cam ..there for nothing to break at all..rev it to the moon and it would stay together ..but not anymore cause now you got cam chains that break and valve spring that get very weak very quickly and cause the valves to become slow to close and now and then come in contact with the piston and it's game over revved out at about 14,000 when it happens does not leave much at all to nothing worth rebuilding

They are harsher mechanically requiring expensive valve service rates at more than double those of a spring system. This is why Ducati just abandoned them after decades of Desmo being iconic part of their brand. Changing to springs increased the valve servicing interval by 60,000 kilometers.

This overlitre engine is more like an engine to succeed in a race. If you drive slowly, this engine will definitely lose its vitality. Ducati hopes to apply the system to motorcycles with low CC.

TL:DR cars don’t need deso-valves. Too expensive and too complicated. Not enough rpm’s to warrant use. Here’s how I see it: motorcycle production has always been way less than car production. So it makes sense for cars to be more cheaply made and not built for the enthusiast. For example, Ford sold 15 million model T’s in just a handful of years. During that same time frame, Harley Davidson sold a grand total of maybe 400,000 units? Motorcycles are for the enthusiast and cars are for the working man. A valve spring is cheap and easy to make and the spring itself never needs to be adjusted. The deso-valve is a more complicated system and requires finer tuning compared to a traditional camshaft and valve system. It’s great for performance! But it’s expensive and complicated. And for the average commuter that just doesn’t make sense. But even for a performance car it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense as the bigger engines usually dont achieve the rpm’s necessary to warrant the use of the fancy valve.

My 64 Impala was stolen, my shaved dropped in the weeds with a 351 Windsor with Cleveland 2 barrel heads and custom sheet aluminum intake got hit by a little old lady that ran a stop sign. My 71 Cheyenne with a 402 and turbo 400 was crunched when a tornado came through and a large limb fell across the cab front left to right. And my 62 chevy pickup was caught by the same tree limb. My 550 Honda got caught in a garage fire at the in-laws. It always seems to happen to my nice rides. My POS always seems to come out of everything a-okay. Heck my 72 mustang I tried to blow the motor up and drove it until it was out of oil and still drove it ten miles home had to add four quarts of oil to it and drove it for another two months before selling it for 3500. But I keep thinking if I get a Ducati what would happen to it. So far my 85 Maserati quattroporte is spending most of it's time in my buddys climate controlled shop and i take it out once a week and drive it about 70 miles or so to the neighboring town and go to the hardware store and the auto parts store for odds and ends that I include when I ship parts out. I recycle Alfa Romeo and Maseratis with an occasional Ferrari, Lamborghini and Fiat Dino thrown in. And one Canadian Citroen SM. It's ugly as sin but it's got a Maserati engine and hydraulic suspension and includes a jack stand in place of the jack. But it had a heated front and rear windshields and molded glass headlight covers that you can't find in the US sold car's. The front windshield has a bronze colored tint that heats up to defrost it. Well I'd better stop rambling and do something productive for the day.
