Guzzirider Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Helen's V11 Sport has been leaking for a while from the timing case, with the leak now getting pretty bad and now mine has started leaking too so I have ordered 2 new gaskets. After consulting the workshop manual, it looks reasonably straightforward to me but I have never done this job before- does anyone have any useful hints and tips before I wade in?

Richard Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Don't forget to put a tray under the bike when you remove the timing cover itself - there is a reservoir of oil held in the bottom. Made that mistake on the 1100 Other than that, it's a reasonably straightforward job, if a little time consuming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raz Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 No special tools required for the Ducati alternator. I think V11 OEM gasket is a metal one. I hate those because they are not reusable at all. I think 12001200 is the normal paper type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldini Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Guy, There's nothing much to the job. Just remove, clean & replace as I recall. I did the front crank seal as well...no other reason than it was there, probably not necessary. KB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emry Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I highly recommend replacing the the crankseal. It is a delicate little fellow and the chances are pretty good that it will leak afterwords. As for the gasket I blew out three withen about 7k miles. Finally used some Hylomar instead of the gasket and it has not leaked in the 4k since. My rotor slides easily off, but yours??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
