Thank you, Chris. Price is reasonable. Shipping shouldn't be expensive. I can also check on import duties since our "illustrious" President...
Thank you for the info. I plan to remove the starter & bench test it. If the starter is indeed bad, I will disassemble it. However, my gut feeling...
Yes. I first verified the "click" in the relay when the starter button was pushed. Next, I connected a voltmeter to the (removed) positive cable...
Thank you for the suggestion. I contacted ElectrexWorld to verify that they have a starter that will fit my Superlight. Also, I sent an inquiry to...
Actually shipping to the U.S. from "across the pond" is generally not that expensive. I noted that there are several aftermarket starters...
I will check my options. Any recommendations on a good, online parts supplier of Ducati parts?
The engine has 16,500 miles which is obviously low for a 32 year-old bike. Also, it has always been garaged & virtually never ridden in wet...
If indeed the problem is the starter motor itself, it sounds like I have 2 options: (1) replace the starter motor with a new one or (2) rebuild...
A few years ago, when cranking the engine, gas (petro) spewed out of the crankcase breather like a volcano. The cylinders were not hyro-locked,...
Interesting thought. I assume that the 2 relays are virtually identical. Thank you.
OK, here is what I have so far. First, I "piggybacked" a 2nd battery to the bike's battery. Still engine would not crank.Next, I ran a heavy...
Macca: No problem with the battery. It's a new lithium-iron battery. I will try shorting the relay contacts.
Chris: What would be the advantage of piggy-backing another battery to the bike battery (since the bike battery is new & registers 13.7V)? I will...
Thank you for the suggestions. In addition to cleaning the terminals posts on the relay & the starter, I thoroughly cleaned the ends of the large...
I recently replaced a 7 year-old AGM battery which I assumed was the culprit since the engine would not crank even with a full charge. Although...
Yes, I switched the pickup wires back. I'll keep you posted on whether the original issue of the vertical cylinder dying is resolved.
I reversed the 2-wire connectors from the pickup coils to the ignition modules. Engine still backfired & failed to start. HOWEVER, Chris at CA...
Thank you for the response, Derek. For clarity, I assume you are referring to the 2-wire pins in the ignition modules coming from the pickup...
I beg your indulgence on resurrecting a months-old problem. Several of you were gracious enough to offer your suggestions why I would randomly...
About 8 months ago I solicited input from this forum regarding a sudden, random shutdown of the vertical cylinder while riding. Without...
