That’s the summary of three solid weeks of work, not just a weekend. ;) There’s always a part or a tool missing at some point, that you have to...
Ah, so these are called “Hallmarks” in English. Good! I learnt a new word, today, thanks @Kevin Tallant . :upyeah: In case someone is interested,...
That’s the second time, on a 916. The Biposto was my first “hands on” experience. With the workshop manual and LT Snyder’s book full of precious...
Thanks Tony! One of my best mates from my young years in the Air Force was also called Tony. You made me think of him today. Best and saddest...
Yeah, I’ve heard about the side/paddock stand antagonism before. Just didn’t know it was serious! :D Won’t do it again.
In the meantime, looking out for a couple nice parts. Just received this. Brand new (not NOS, newly manufactured).:upyeah: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
The bike was appraised for insurance purpose last Friday. Waiting for the result before I can properly insure it and hit the road. [ATTACH]...
I read somewhere in a book (Falloon, most likely), that on the Sennas, the numbered plate was made out of silver. I remember not really believing...
Went on to completely retune the injection. Bike was a bitch at cold start, not holding it’s idle for a solid 5 minutes (fast idle inop), and very...
The clutch. My, my, my… Changing gears was really a bear, finding neutral almost impossible. “All Ducatis do that, it’s absolutely normal!”...

Did I mention the tires were dated 0800 and 1100? Yeah, that’s right, year 2000… They still had plenty in them. But plenty hard! Slapped a pair...
Complete rear end refurb. Always a pleasure on these bikes. It is so easy to get to the heart of this swingarm. I did brace up after deciding to...
As I was taking care of braking, I literally got “sucked into it”. Not complaining, quite the opposite, in fact. Again just refurb. Zero new parts...
The front discs needed refurb as well. Whereas the tracks are virtually new, the bobins, circlips and shims were all rusted. Time for some no...
I obviously checked the air filters. I am pretty sure I was the first one to do it. Like ever… :rolleyes: Well since I had some nice foam left...
I stand here unafraid when I say that I am going to put some serious miles in this babe. I am one of those weirdos who like touring on a Tamburini...
Oh my God yes they are!!! :):upyeah: Found some crap inside the fuel tank, left over by old rotten fuel hoses. Previous owner told me the fuel...
After we were over with the rather nice preliminaries, I went in hard. The only thing I did not tear apart is the engine. Checked the belts...
[ATTACH] Some really nice bits here and there. I did not expect to find the Cagiva elephant on the gas cap. Thought this was only for early 1994...
