Sounds like the 916 rear brake - you'd have thought they'd have learned by now after nearly 30 years... : unamused:
A good description of leakdown test here;...
I'm not familiar with the DS engine (valve angle & plug location etc.) but on the 900 2v, you can see the valves through the plug hole**. You...
Leakdown test? Fill cylinder with compressed air and see how quickly/from where the air escapes (compared to the known, good cylinder). You'll be...
If the valve was even more than slightly bent, I would expect the cam to be stiff to turn or even not turn at all due to the valve not being able...
'Other' bike in action; [IMG]
As above a lever that fits directly onto the gearshifter shaft does the job nicely also can make the shift a little more positive as there's less...
I think the only adjustment is to bend the little fork-shaped end of the lever so that it activates more or less onto the plastic pivot that...
Agree on the freeplay. My bike had the freeplay 'adjusted' at the first service as the shap said there was too much, they obviously adjusted it...
I had one on my 916 for a while (though not sure if it was Ducati branded or aftermarket?), as far as I could see there was no real benefit for...
My Monster which is a bit of a 'bitsa' always had uneven sprocket/chain wear due to the front and rear sprockets not being quite in line (frame,...
Definitely worth fitting an alloy nut. I fitted one to my Monster as it was leaking and the plastic nut wouldn't tighten - it wasn't broken but...

You need to remove the pins from the connector, it is fiddly but can (usually) be done without breaking anything. If a connector does break off...
I've done this several times but after many re-uses and at just £1 a pop, I felt it deserved a new one at the last filter change. And, now that...
To add, as with most Viton 'O' rings not supplied by Ducati, they're black rather than green but work fine. I fitted one when I changed the fuel...
I bought some from Polymax (www.polymax.co.uk) a couple of years ago; 87p each (plus VAT) I bought 12 as you get free shipping if you spend over...
What exactly is it for? Holding the 'loaded' rear cylinder cam whilst fitting the belt requires something different (no teeth one end, 3 the...
Sounds about right to me. 916 should make around 105, mine made 118 after CJS worked his magic.
Various options above and all have their merits. My 916 is 24 years old and done over 50k miles, I did have plug/connectors cook many years ago...
