| Post subject: | Timing belts |
Hello again lads, The Sport has been off the road for about a month after getting a puncture and having no money for a new tyres (£240  ) So I've ordered some new ones today. I now need some new timing belts for peace of mind really. I'm watching some Dayco belts on ebay atm as I really can't afford ducati stuff. However, I was hoping the paso ones would fit as there are some real ducati ones on ebay for pasos.Any advice or info on the dayco belts would be great. Cheers, Alex |

Never buy used rubber, no matter what it is or who used it before.  but if they are new, then what fits the Paso fits the Sport. I get them from Ca. Cycle works. Cheers, Phil |

"68 SQUARE PROFILE TEETH" is right. Weird is it states SL/Paso/SS/M 91-97. SL and Paso are 10 years older, however the number of teeth and their profile is correct. So these are the ones you`ll need. Here they are less than half the price and even though shipping costs will be a little higher as the shop is here in Germany you`ll still save: http://www.stein-dinse.biz/Ducati/Engin ... :5524.html G. |

according to the photo and the title, yes but you can ask. Doesn`t make a big difference if they are from DAYCO, GATES etc. (no need to say you`d have to order two) G. |

Price is relative - one of the business units of a company that I work for supplies Gates with urethane products. There is a huge amount of R&D involved in the production of belts and companies like Gates need a solid return on investment if they're going to survive from a medium to long term perspective. Cheers, Mark |

Search the web. Lots of you tube bits on it, and of course these guys. http://www.ducatisuite.com/beltchange.html Just did mine last month. Did the 5mm allen wrench method. Cheers, Phil |

It's just one of those things where I'm scared to attempt it as it could mess everything up. Where as if the mechanic does it, he'll have to get me a replacement engine/bike  It will be something I need to learn but I'd rather get shown in person than follow the internet. Will ask around, sure theres a few ducati owners near me lol. Cheers, Alex |

Yeah, its just another thing to bring a thrill to your heart when you are doing a ton up and thinking about your belts, or if you torqued the sprocket bolts correctly. Cheers, Phil |

I have developed an easy and more bullet-proof way of doing the belts. I have not uplloaded them to DucatiSuite yet could put them up and send a link to you if you want to try it. |
