Proper polishing is the best (only) way to get a good, lasting shine/finish but be warned, it's a horrible, dirty job that'll take you forever to...
Set at 1%, I doubt it will run well at all. When I rebuilt my 916 engine after having the heads gasflowed, on first startup it was popping and...
Yes, the rod-ends on my Monster floating rear brake rod developed slop within a year or so (and I don't even use the brake much!) so I replaced...
I get them from McGill Motorsports; https://www.mcgillmotorsport.com they do nice quality teflon lined versions that are much better than the OEM...
Wow, some big variation in tolerances there compared to way back, presumably to try to make servicing more 'palatable' cost-wise? Almost never...
I find the hex on the K&N, whilst soft, is plenty strong enough to tighten it sufficiently - maybe it acts as a torque sensor by rounding off if...
Great little engine in these, my Son had a Gilera RCR50 - a similar machine with the same engine and with just an exhaust & re-jet it could hit...
Not sure how much interest but, I've often read posts where people are asking for brake caliper seal kits and that Brembo/Ducati don't offer them...
IIRC, the spec is 38.5mm but you'll be better off with a little less - no more than 38 otherwise you'll struggle to find neutral at standstill. I...
I lived there in the late '70s and, back then there were no licensing requirements, no compulsory insurance, no helmet law, only a 1,500 lire P.A....

Indeed, to add to the above: in Italy (and probably Spain) you can ride a 50cc bike at 14 yrs old with no/minimal licence/test requirements,...
Just measured the frame width on my 916 and Monster, the 916 frame is 2cm wider.
I ground a large, offset ring spanner specifically for the job but can fit a small (1/4") ratchet socket onto the nut so the frame must be further...
I suspect the frame is narrower, AFAIK the engines are the same.
I bought a Moto Guzzi in Florence and did consider riding it home (around 1,000 miles) but due to it being old and unused for some years plus the...
