Hey guys,
I recently pirchased an 09 1198. I did not receive servic records and the nearest Ducati shop is 3.5 hours away. I plant on replacing the timing belts here soon, but have concerns. I viewed the shop manual on how to remove/replace the belt, but it seems comlicated when compared to the 1098 video. Does anyone have any guidance on the belt swap? Maybe a how to that didn’t come up in my search? I’m a fairly decent mechanic, but I just want to be sure I get this right. Thanks.

People do it in various ways. The best way is using the right tools. And read the insructions on how to change your belts and tension them afterwards in the service manual. People always seem to forget to loosen the bolts on the pulleys, when tensioning the belt.

Good luck.
