Talking to a friend today on the phone, he has a 2006 ish ducati ST3 , and it was on the original belt he got the bike new.
He was telling me the story of the job, and researched it as best he could online.
The Belt tension from the sounds of it is crucial, and several online ideas from guitar tunning aps on phones and others he tried and settled on the only idea that he felt worked and that was the old twist the belt 45 degrees and its about right. IDEA.
Well its seemingly all good running great and back together 3k miles in and counting, and no issues apart from the nagging doubt associated with the alleged intricasies of the Ducati belt tension crucial nature.
My advice was strip bodywork off and give it a look see if everything looks ok with no obvious signs of strange wear or potential threats. But Equally i am thinking would it be that obvious and indeed is the Ducati L twin belt tension deal over hyped or not.?
So the point of all this war & peace saga, Well peace of mind from Any of you ducati Knowledgeable on this Job. is He all good as is or any advice to get the job done, the likes of the guitar tuning app deal just seemed a bit non event from what he could tell.
Thoughts opinions advice please.
