Cheers Andy. I see that all the time at our shop so it's one I always look out for.
Also on the ST bikes, the chain gets really tight if you set it up on the centre stand. If correct on centre stand it will be drum tight when the bikes off the stand and with you sitting on it.
Great vid and cheers for the mention 😃
Mate I’m impressed!! You can sit cross legged
I’m as stiff as a witches broom 🧹
Takes me ten minutes to get backup why r benches so expensive 😫
Hi Andy Your honesty is only one of the reasons I follow your channel.
It all started with me when I first saw "Basket Case". I love articles on Basket Case & any Ducatis.
This story reminds me of a case in the aircraft industry. A fatal event occurred when a pilot of a small jet liner was sucked out of the cockpit when a front window "ejected". The reason being that during routine servicing the retaining bolts were replaced with the same length of bolts that were holding the window in prior to the service. However: on the previous occasion of changing the bolts shorter bolts than the service manual states were incorrectly substituted, hence, on this occasion substituting like for like "they let go" as they were too short and someone lost their life!
Serves to remind us all to always use check-lists/manuals and especially when we're working on previously owned machinery that has been worked on or serviced/maintained by someone else.
Keep up the great work on your channel.
Thanks for the entertainment.
On that occassion, the fitter replacing the cockpit window removed the existing bolts, and took them to the store to replace them. It was night time, and the storeman told the fitter to help himself. The racks were poorly lit, and the fitter took fasteners which he thought were the same. In fact they were of a different thread size, but were close enough to fool an experienced man in poor light. It was the combination of wrong thread and wrong length which resulted in the window blowing out ( the original wrong length bolts didn't fail). The storeman, had he done his job, would have selected bolts based on the aircraft type and given the fitter the correct fasteners regardless of the ones the fitter had brought. The fitter, unfamiliar with the stores and literally in the dark, tried to find like for like. The subsequent inquiry led to a tightening of procedure and improved lighting. If I remember correctly, more censure was levelled at the storeman than at the fitter.
The captain of the aircraft ( from memory I think it was a BAC-111) was indeed sucked partially out of the window, but the First Officer caught hold of his legs. Other crew members held on while the First Officer successfully landed the aircraft. The pilot remained partially outside, and fully conscious throughout. Because of the heroic efforts of the crew, no lives were lost.
RTFM
Top tip: If you haven't already, string align your wheels and mart the swing arm then adjust from there. I've never found an accurate swing arm marking from stock.
What are the symptoms of a poorly adjusted rear wheel? Are there any good videos out there that show how to align your rear wheel on an ST3 or ST4 without using the factory marks on the side of the swing arm? On my old CBR, I don't use those marks, but rather measure the length of the chain adjuster bolt threads coming out the rear of the swing arm. But, we can't do that on the STs.
It's a bit of a black art, lining the rear wheel with the front and 'getting' the chain straight. A couple of traps for young players (ask me how I know), is the front wheel is narrower than the rear, there's no guarantee your front wheel is aligned with the head stem or the frame isn't bent. So the only way to be completely accurate is to measure everything. Tape a straight edge to the front wheel rim inside the wheel resting on a spoke, or outside if you can, sticking out 90 degrees from the wheel about 200mm each side, with the bike level and on the centre stand, level the straight edge with a spirit level and try and 'square it up'. Put one on the back wheel the same way and jam the wheel so it can't move. Now set up 2 string lines on a frame about 2 m in front of the bike and running 20mm or less past the outside of the front and rear tyres, run them a meter or so past the back and tie them off parallel, measure from the centre of each wheel with the front pointing as near to dead straight as you can to the point where the string crosses the straight edge and the distance front and back of each wheel, you could get the wheels 'crabbing' as much as 5mm to 8mm and not really be able to notice riding in a straight line, except chain wear will be accelerated and left and right corners are different, worn swing arm bushes and bearings and wheel bearings all mask the crabbing problem.
It's relatively easy to set up, it just takes time and aligning the forks and front wheel is easy enough - Kiwi Dave Moss has a video on it.
Then you can get the chain and wheels aligned properly and won't have to adjust them every 3000km....
The markings on the swingarm will get you close. I like to look at my arm positions while riding. Assuming the swingarm/frame/forks are all straight you will (at least I do) notice a slight difference in arm position when riding in a straight line if the rear wheel is not on square. I just corrected a slight mis-alignment in my 900 Monster yesterday (same setup as the ST here). It was very close but I wanted it perfect. I ended up tweaking the axle position by about a millimeter now both elbows are equally slight bent when riding in a straight line.
Thanks Andy!! cocked that allso in my Monster 620,so now its fixed ,thanks again,, cheers!!
I managed to pick up a M10 bolt in my K1300S back tyre the other day, not just the tyre it took a chunk out of carbon the hugger!!
No wonder I'm barred from pubs in my area, go find the first cnut with a van and stick it in his jugular. 10, 9,8 7,6 and relax.😉
That is a natural thing to do if somebody else had done it before you without knowing. Patto again to the rescue 💪💪
Found this was the same case on my '06 Multistrada 620 and that it was done by the dealer after tire mounting, go figure!😂
Good that someone picked it up Andy, might increase that bearing life at the very least..😎😎😎
Did the same thing on my 900ss, the taper on the spacer is to allow room for the circlip that holds the sprocket carrier bearings
Well, I know what I'm doing with my Saturday morning ... checking that spacer! Thanks for sharing. Always great to see a RUclipsr stressing that we should all RTFM. Cheers!
RTFM sound advice Andy. Cheers mate
Fuckin hell, with that title I was hoping for something juicy but noooo it was only a damn spacer LOL
All they had to do was stamp “OUT” on one side! Hehe
There's any number of ways they could design it so it's impossible to put in wrong or that it doesn't matter but no... Italians.
Pays to be vigilant when getting tyres changed. Often the muppet in the shop has no idea. I have finally found a tyre shop with an experienced owner operator, worth the few extra dollars to get it done right. Also bring along your own torque specs and demand they use a torque wrench.
Check your chain twice and cut once. Have I got that right?
Saw that straightaway !!!!! When you put over 200.000 miles on your ST. you have the wheel off. ALOT!!!!!😎😎😎😎🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺😄😄😄🇺🇸
Done that before myself… once. 🤣
I like those pipes. Look great
Chains eh? Glad I've got a Guzzi. 🙄
Done that before myself…. Once.
I did the same thing on my Ducati
Very common mistake. I've even seen bikes who've had to have a new swingarm because of this mistake. Be sure to check you're Supersport, it's the same situation on that bike!
Hi Andy, what about the series of videos you wanted to make for or together with Toine van den Biggelaar? I am very curious if and when they will come. There's so much crap on RUclips on Ducati's so I'll be happy when there's something about Ducati's, based on knowledge and experience. We'll hear from you (hopefully). Frank (NL)
Maybe Matt will do them in his new shed, being an expert engineer with an HND and REME experience he is sure to keep Toine on the right track.
RTFM 👍
Del boys Motorcycle Obsessions
Go easy on the Del Boy, he's going thru a rough patch at the mo' . . .
Ouaouu..!!
Ducati ..So reliable motorcycles..!!
...Or NOT.
What was the symptom of why you did this ...
Good job..
Something del would do that lol
Hey, hey,hey . . ya can't be bad mouthin' Del when he's crook with heart problems, it's not on mate!
@@munter10 heart problems?? That's just del distracting from the disaster that was his latest bike the BBQ busa, there's nothing wrong with him
Fuck sake Andy, spray chain lub, haven't you been following Matts channel?
😜👍
