Hello Gentlemen!
I am doing my first valve check/belt replacement on my new-to-me 2009 1198. I rented the tool kit from ducatitoolrental to do the work. Luckily, all of the clearances were in spec, so no adjustment needed for now.
My concern however, is that in the instructions provided with the tool kit, it shows the cam lobes on the openers pointing straight up when at TDC on each cylinder. Mine are not. On the vertical cylinder, they are both approx. 45 degrees outward, and about 45 degrees inward on the horizontal cylinder. The bike runs good, which I can't imagine if the cam timing were truly off that much. I attached a couple of pictures, the first is the horizontal, the second the vertical, both at TDC compression stroke. Just want to be sure I'm ok before I start bolting things back together. Thanks!
