Does this looks like standard Ducati termi system? Looks slightly different to Ones I e seen before? For example no mounting points for exhaust heat shield ???
This is a picture of a 45/50 (L) and a 45/45 (R) middle pipe. The heat shield on the 45/50 system on my 748R is attached by a jubilee type fixing that attaches to the end can pipe work. I've not been able to find a clear photograph on the internet to compare. Andy
Okay, I've done a bit more looking and I'm pretty sure (might be wrong) but the original 916 Senna Mk1 came with a 45mm exhuast system like this. From your picture, it looks like you might have a 45/50mm mid pipe so the lack of heat shield fixing is probably right. If I can find it, I know the type of heat shield fixing you need has been discussed on the forum. I'll keep digging. Andy
thanks, so does it mean that I have 50mm system with 45mm cans??? bit weird? also- my shock it not in the best condition cosmetically, it there places which are recommended for ohlins rebuild?
Other way round, 40mm system with 50mm end cans which was a common "upgrade". Someone posted about a shock service very recently so have search, lots do it. Andy
only just got some time to work on the bike. immediate question: lifted seat unit and i can see on the corners undernease where paint was chipped red colour undernease Senna grey. seat unit looks totally original to me , doesnt look like its been resprayed at all. part number is 483.1.019.1A stamped . so did ducati just took red seats and spreayed them grey for SENNA editions? or did i ended up with resprayed seat unit?
It was not uncommon at that time to take panels off the shelf and respray them at the factory before fitting. I had an early yellow 996bp where the all the panels were the same date stamp but started out life as red. Andy
i think i am gonna attempt to replace belts on this bike myself. fist time ever... is it doable or will i fuck it up? do i need to get that special tool??? for bets tension?
The stamps are on the inside - only they are not stamps - small date clocks in the mould tool showing the year with dots for each month.
I always wondered what that meant. Oh no... that's another level of obsessiveness to try and stave off...
