Separate names with a comma.
Ta for that. I'm not surprised. It's tempting, especially if 750 etc barrels can be put on top, if the circumstances arose... what do you think of...
not really ; no revving over 9,000 rpm 'under any circumstances' - the writer lacks imagination. :grin: Hiroshima, 1945?
I'm given to believe that the M600's 2003 change to 620 cc brought it to the same stroke = 81.5mm (and crank?). I could consider a monster 620...
Yes, different stroke.
OK cheers Hajira, that's useful to know.
I have one more question, in order to plan rebuild: what generally was the scheme for balancing cranks/pistons etc on rollout of production SS's...
someone must know that someone who knows...
I can get hold of M600 pistons and barrels - are the barrels a straight swap for SS...?
smaller 2 strokes with small end noise are not as serious, it seems. Partly due to lubricartion in fuel, and also to the forces involved... We ran...
Right, agreed - its a convention; con rod bushes etc are made to be sacrificed, and following that, gudgeon pins to piston bosses. I have always...
Got it from Ducati: Piston only sold with cylinder; price £271.00 ex. Only vertical cylinder plus piston available. Horizontal discontinued.......
This isn't what I understand as 'piston slap' which I always understood as meaning a slapping skirt. I think the noise is from a piston rattling...
Hadn't once heard in my searching that the well reported problem of Ducati SS 'piston slap' was ever due, as in this example, to unusual wearing...
Need a piston in good condition for 600cc ss motor, and matching pin possibly. I hear pre-'98 forged pistons were replaced with cast on later...
Cheers. Well this piston is in very bad shape. I wonder how it began on (only) this cylinder. Never seen anything like it. Have to find a...
On further inspection with horizontal Head and barell removed: Piston sloppy on Gudgeon pin. Conrod to pin clearance good. Piston to pin...
New exhaust opening rocker fitted improved things: side clearance closed down to 0.06mm (which compares with 0.03mm on a good inlet opener) -...
OK Ta AL. The 2001 750 ss parts manual shows just two shims, one either side of the clip, my bike has three - one each side of the rocker and one...
Update - found something tangible: Confirmed distinct sideways play on horizontal exhaust opener rocker and shaft after (moved toward rider...
