Hay Jim liven the life cool vid, I live in Phoenix with a 2005 liberty trying to put on a egt sensor do you have any suggestions

Good morning Jim. I really like your videos. Can you do a video on changing the timing belts on your Ducati S2R? I really like the way you walk through what you are doing. Thanks for all your videos!

Good to see this old warrior brought back to life.

Is it still going today ?

Beautiful! Great job. From fellow older ducati addict ❤

Gunked up fuel pump due to ethanol? Thx

Interesting. I'm probably doing forks on my Monster soon. This helps me get my workspace organized before pulling parts. I need to figure a way to compress the spring. I'll probably build a wooden frame with a bolt on plate.

Did you ever do a video on the timing belts ?

Loving the monster content! Following to see the valve and belt job. Thanks!

Thank you so much. Now I'm not afraid to actually attempt to change the seal.

Do you have to pull the injectors before the head? Wondering if you can get the head out and then Do the injectors from the bench? Is this all due to your trouble shooting with the knock and suspected dead cylinder video?

I’m thinking I may have a timing issue on my CRD liberty, it drives but has excessive smoke I believe caused by I burned fuel, degradation in performance and fuel economy and an associated knock almost sounds like a rod. I thought it was a dead cylinder (bad rings) but recently pulled each electrical connection off the fuel nozzles individually to identify a dead cylinder and all 4 had the same rough idle response when disconnected that recovered immediately after reconnection so my mind is now wondering if I have a timing issue, especially now that I see it’s a belt and not a chain. How much has to come out of the front end to replace the belt, is it easy or a pain?

Very cool. One of my dream trucks.

Thank you!!!!

Great video, everything is clear. Unfortunately I sold my VTX1300C and moved to Sprint ST 1050. Rode a lot of kilometers on the Honda, very comfortable bike, accidentally rode 1500 km at one time, just very good ride :) and did not want to stop. Not sure if this is possible on the Sprint ST. But I needed a bike that could be ridden in the city in heavy traffic, on the Honda it was hard for me. The Triumph does the job better.

Hey Jim I been watching all your videos on the CRDS. I’m a heavy equipment mechanic and work on BIG diesels every day all day. I have a 06 Liberty CRD and it started making a popping noise. First I went ahead and changed the water pump and timing belt. Started no problem but noise was still there. I decided to go into it. Now it won’t start. As if it has no compression. I think I may have broken valve. I’m going to do a compression test tomorrow. Do you work on these often. Seems to me your very savvy in this department. Maybe I’ll take it to you and you can tackle it. I’m in Ca. and have family in Glendale AZ. I’ll put it on a trailer and take it to ya.

Ik my stock one stuck open would do some weird shjt if you was 2300 rpms getting on the highway it would bog out but everything else was fine

Hi. Thank you so much for making this video. Really appreciate you taking the time. I have a question. How do you do the fork that you just took the bottom bolt off from instead of the damper assembly? How do I fill oil in that? I have a 2009 monster 696. Do you know the quantity of oil for it? The pirates manual I bought says 583 ml i think.

Not to be an arse, but are you sure these aren’t Showa non adjustable forks? Or maybe marzocchi forks?

Hi Jim, I have a noise on a kj like this in the video, and I can't figure it out? If I sent you a video could you give me your opinion? Thank you

Hey Jim,and thanks for the great walkthrough. What size hose clamps did you use? I'm having trouble finding ones that are small enough. I found some that are the same type (fuel injector hoses) but they are too big. Thanks for your reply.

mistakes - no clean before disassemble and no heat before slap bushings out. good trick with a condom)

Would love to see more vid's on this if you still have it.

I have a 2008 s2r 1000 but the top cap looks different, and the bolt on the bottom is more like a big flat head screw…. Will the first way you removed the seal (taking the bold from the bottom) work, since I don’t have special tools?

Please how Dobson disamble the black plastic part where everything is build on ?

I really like that engine in that Jeep. Good visibility, easy to park, a sturdy workhorse if needed to pull a heavy trailer. Plus, with winter grade tires it can shove its way through some really deep snow. There have been times when cars were mighty glad to have me cutting a trail for them. LOL one thing I would change is the springs. When weather is cold she rides like an old army truck. I'm thinking I'd like to find someone who can make replacement springs with a bit softer metal but with thicker bar stock that would still have the same weight rating.

Just crank it over it sucks the fire inside the motor,old school stuff

Hey Jim! Hows it going with the Ducati S2R 800? :) Loved the vids you´ve done on it already, and would be awesome to see the timing belt replacement and desmo adjustments :)

hey jim, still waiting/hoping for valve inspection/adjustment video.

Can you tell us why you replaced the head gasket? miles / how man? or blown and burning antifreeze? thanks

I notice you tested for compression on air intake,not familiar with this,or what to look for. These engines are not for the faint hearted!

I will probably never own a Ducati of any kind but I am diggin' these videos! My trusty ride is a 1984 Honda Nighthawk 750S that is also due for fork seals so I appreciate the instruction. Thank you.

What's the name of the Facebook page you mention at the beginning of this video?

That is excellent! Can you do desmo on this bike

supr ok

Like the video , asking for some help I have a 06 with a no start. The condenser fan turns on as soon as I turn the key on . I can see the coolant temperature sensor at 495 degrees. The engine cranks but does not start . I am think the ecm has a problem. But maybe you can help . Thanks in advance.

She for sale ? I had a blue 1

T ou auj uste

Im about to do this to my Liberty... very informative

I know this is an old post but it's rebound DAMPING not DAMPENING. Unless it's getting moist on the rebound stroke. LOL It's a pet peve of mine to correct this. Thanks.

That does not look like an R65 motor installed … earlier cylinder head valve cover design.

Greast job Jim !!!! Greetings from a S2R owner, Germany.

would be awesome if you filmed the valve adjustment too

very helpful

Thank You for posting

EXTREMELY beneficial! Thank you. I have the Showa on-adjustables; I think they are basically the same.

learned a lot. Thanks!
