    Tricks for doing Ducati valves?

    Hey team

    Anyone got any brilliant ideas or hints about how to measure the closer shim on the Duke ?

    :spudwhat:

    A little thing that makes a fairly tricky job a mare.

    Cheers

    Do you have the manual ??? I'm pretty sure the instructions for doing this are in the manual....

    If not, send a PM to Quasi Evil - I know for a fact that he has one as I sold it to him!!

    Good luck.,
    Not even with yours!!!

    Normally - but this is the first time on the Duke - is a bit more complicated than a guzzi or a bmw - but seems doable enough

    The manuals etc seem pretty vague on measuring the closer - there is a ducati tool - and I have read of people using a couple of specially engineering inserts to help measure - but at the moment ....
