Have replaced coolant every 3 years on average. Bike is stored in a fairly dry garage, but huge temperature swings here between summer (+35°) and...
Many thanks for the diagnosis and solution. 100% correct- I've been using a generic green coolant for the last 7 years. Was clearly unaware of the...
Had a surprise the other day when I noticed crankcase paint flaking around the water pump. Am suspecting WP gasket. OEM hoses are 31 years old,...
Only showing up in $CAD for me... they're usually $10 a can or thereabouts. Uh... how much is it showing in GBP?
Fling is dramatically reduced with wax. I'm a big fan of Maxima. Looks like it's available in your neck of the woods. Give it a whirl:...
Have you considered using a chain wax? That rim has been ruthlessly splattered.
There's a bloke over the pond who had quite a few sets made up. Not 100% if he still has a few, but worth a shot:...
Just adding this to the Ducati nerd fine-details database. It's from a '97 Strada (US market) with a 1.6M ECU. Grey writing, rpm x 1000 script,...
"So Ian, how many SP's were made in 1994?" "No idea."

Possibly the tank being shut tight for so long did you a big favour. Very clean. Mine sat for 12 years and also looked pretty darn good. You...
The last one that sold on BaT (link below) fetched $US52K. I think buddy's dreaming if he expects much more given the amount of non-original parts...
748 close-ratio gearbox with an 853 kit has to be about as good as it gets.
I remember hearing a 998 for the first time. Came riding past at about 40mph. The testastretta sounded ok... but it was too refined, too smooth....
New fork oil?
It's still worth knowing what you have in there. A chip with proper fuelling (i.e. different maps for front and rear cylinders) makes a big...
"I have nipped up the three bolts as much as i can without risking thread stripping." The torque spec for those bolts is only 9Nm. That's not...
Are the stock 5 spokers really that much better than the 3-spoke? See official weights below. I want to upgrade at some point, but feel if I'm...
