Red Baron's Ultimate Ducati Desmo Manual: Belt-Driven Camshafts L-Twins 1979 to 2017

Been wrenching on Ducatis over the last 6 years, and this is really the best, most thorough service manual I've come across.What I appreciate most are the full-color pages, with clear markings of various aspects with highlighted and circled areas. So many other manuals are ambiguous in areas that really matter, and this manual spares no expense to ensure you understand exactly where that liquid gasket goes (an example when checking valves on a Testastretta engine).In addition, it's becoming more and more difficult to find service manuals that deal with four-valve (desmoquattro and testastrettas) Ducatis, as they are indeed more common these days, vs the two-valve versions--which of course are still around, but not as common as ten years ago.I still think other manuals (like the Desmotimes one) is essential to also have in your library, but between these two, and the service manual for the bike you're working on for torque specs, you're pretty much golden and can do almost anything needed as long as you can fab or buy the proper tools for said bikes.I hope this manual stays in print because it's that important I think.

Uitstekend boek voor amateur die zelf aan z'n Ducati wil sleutelen. Ook nuttig voor de proffesional.Erg duidelijk uitgelegd en geïllustreerd.

An absolute must for any Ducati Superbike owner who wants to do their own repairs and maintenance on these wonderful machines.

Fantastic resource for anything, from basic maintenance, to full engine rebuilds on the majority of bike Ducati has ever released. Lots of pictures and background explanation. Far superior to the Hayes manuals and well worth the money.

Great book for the amateur mechanic that wishes to repair his own Ducati in the garage. Clear explanations with pictures to guide every process. Invaluable.
