The good old 'Italian tune-up' works wonders. :motorcycleduc:
I always use Ktech, always done a great job for me.
Not sure what the obsession with Varese vs. Bologna built is? :confused: IMHO buy the bike if you want it but, it matters not where it was...
A cylinder replating company like Langcourt; https://langcourt.com/ should be able to repair that for you.
Ducati messed up with tyre sizes on both the 748 and 916: too low a profile on the 748 front and too wide a rear on the 916. I'm certain...
I suppose corrosion could have eaten into the ally, making it likely to not seal well?
Agreed, looks a tidy and well cared for (or at least prepared) 748e, certainly tidier than my 916 :blush:and the mileage is low. I don't really...
3 phase alternator is an improvement, that said my single-phase has been fine you just need to keep an eye on the wiring and connectors. As for...
Condition is key, get the best cared for and maintained. In the 27 years I've had my 916 I've only ever adjusted the steering angle when I had it...
I doubt they'd warp, given the thickness and how solid they are, typically car heads are much longer and thinner and even they don't always warp...
Indeed they do plus, they're 916 and so, I believe, have different stud spacings. IIRC, the 996 went to wider stud spacings due to the bigger...
IIRC 748e differences from previous 748 models, most already mentioned above; 'Dropped' exhaust valve cylinder heads [IMG] Compare to original...
Yes definitely and AFAIK, only the 748e was made this way, all other 748/916/996/998 had the adjustable headstock. Actually, I can see why Ducati...
To add, very few people actually use the adjustment and so leave it in the 'road' position.
Simplest way is the adjustable headstock has 2 steering damper mounting points on the frame like this; [IMG] Also, the headstock is smaller...
I had 1mm skimmed off my 916 heads for a compression ratio boost along with gas-flowing as part of a tuning exercise. It does mean the belts are...
You would hope so. IIRC the Pirelli choice back then was Phantom or Mandrake, I think the Mandrake were too fancy for a 250cc so I went with the...
That's an old tyre, are they still exactly the same or, presumably have evolved with the advances in rubber technology. I'm fairly sure Phantoms...
Me neither, I've pretty much bought Pirelli my entire biking life and was quite happy with the Demons but, I'm also happy with the BT46. I can't...
Agreed, I'm using BT46 on my old Guzzi and have no complaints. Previously used Pirelli Sport Demon which were fine but, last time I wanted...
