Excellent stuff - many thanks! I am in the Cambridge area. Sounds like a very similar setup. Here are my carb details: Slide: 60/3 Needle K18...
Or maybe that is just the way a 650 Ducati from the 1980s runs. I'll get some miles in and see how we go. The standard Pantah 650 carb setup is if...
My 650 Special has a Cagiva Elefant engine and PHF36 carbs with no air filters, and Conti megaphone "silencers". Before I got it, the bike had...
Here's my sensor plate with old insulation removed and new Kynar high temp shrink sleeving, plus silicone high-temperature cable. Refitting is...
Just to add that you can get Kynar high-temp sleeving on eBay - take the old insulation off back to the sensor - cut the wires to around 10cm, and...
Same problem here - I did some research when checking the wiring and have put the attached note together - would appreciate any corrections...
as far as I am aware, if you disconnect the battery of a fuel injection (ie post-carbs, say 2002 or newer) Ducati, the ECU will lose its settings...
These fake news bots are quite real-sounding. Perhaps that's because they have updated the "stupid" algorithm? Adding in stupid comments to make...
Good point. If you hard-wire an in-line connector for the charger, it is easy enough to unplug, kick over the engine for a few revs and then...
There is a theory that you should kick the engine over a few times now and again, so the cam belts change position. That will also trigger the...
Good comment on the fuses, make sure they are making contact. Relays on Ducati electrics are always a problem, and cheap to replace, so check...
Measuring the 5mm required space at the fixed roller: the recommended method is to use a 5mm allen key. I don't like pushing sharp-edged items in...
aaah - but it kind of makes sense with the tensioner I got from Mdina. Setting it to 6.5kg then removing the can from the roller would knock its...
Derek, on the spring balance method, my piece of kit tells me to set it at 6.5 kg. Does that align with the tension you used back in the day?...
Thanks Derek, that's all useful info. I'm learning! Now that I am lucky enough to have 2x Ducatis (Monster 2001 and Pantah 1985) I feel the need...
Has anyone used a spring balance tensioner? Surely someone must have - it was the official Ducati method of tensioning cam belts back in the day..
I'll start by thanking Exige for the VERY useful info he gave me on tensioner bearings - superb. I know there have been a million posts on the...
Well I am an old biker, and you don't get to be an old biker by luck, nor by playing around with muppets in Audis.
That is really stupid behaviour. Get on the race track then we can see how brave you really are.
The vertical head is reversed (carb at the front) so the exhaust does not run along the frame and I might get away with it. I'll update the thread...
