You want to know how a Desmo system works? |  |
|
| |||
| This is the triple overhead cam set-up used by Ducati on their 1950's GP racers | |||
 |
|||
| This complex design was later simplified considerably for production purposes | |||
 |
|||
| These are all the component parts of the modern 2-valve Desmo valve-train, in this case the 900SS | |||
 |
|||
| The simpler SOHC set-up was used on the later singles, bevel twins and DesmoDue's in this basic configuration right up to the current models. | |||

|||
| This clever rotatable 3D pdf image shows how it all fits in the head (from Bluming.com) | |||
|
|||
| The 2-valve Desmo principle is shown well in this animated graphic. | |||
  |
|||
| And this is the latest design of Desmo valvegear used on the DOHC "four-valve" engines | |||
  |
|||
Slower running 4V animations can be more easily understood. |

We are grateful to Miroslav Mitrovic of Bluming.com for allowing DOCGB the use of the excellent animations and high quality illustrations of the Desmo valvegear. http://www.bluming.com/projects/desmo.htm
