996 Which Rev Counter ?

Discussion in '748 / 916 / 996 / 998' started by Fastmonkey, Jul 29, 2020.

  1. Got this rev counter, my 996 one has Ducati Corse on it but this one has Ducati Racing. Any significance to that, does it denote model year/ compatibility or anything.

    Thanks.​

  2. not if age is a factor or not but i have a '96 916 and a '99 996 and both have "ducati racing" on the rev counter if it helps
     
  3. Not a 996 but my ST4 2002 has Ducati Corse on the rev counter, so it could be an age related thing
     
  4. Only difference would be if that's for a P8-equipped bike, not a 1.6M bike.

  6. "Ducati Corse" appeared on tachometeres after a certain year. I don't know which year but a guess would be 1998 (TPG). I also guess old stock was used up in the process.
    I also now believe that the tacho is paired to the ECU and P8 tacho'se won't work on 1.6M ECUs and vice versa.
     
  7. 2000 and on is Ducati Corse, pre 2000 is Ducati Racing.

  8. ok so looks like pre 2000 then, thanks.
     
  9. Did you pull the bezel/glass off this instrument? If so I would like to know how and if it came off without damage.
     
  10. It was in a box of stuff I bought so came like that so can't say unfortunately

  11. I may be wrong (again) but I believe P8 tacho’s work on both P8 and 1.6M ecu’s whereas 1.6M tacho’s only work on 1.6M ecu’s.

  13. Looks like they made a few variations, mine is different again:

  14. That’s from a different model: st4
     
  15. I thought all ST4's had the 1.6M ecu though?

    My bike's a 916 Strada with a P8, so not sure how that's possible.

    My guess is that they made a slightly different version for the US market, based on other quirks that only apply to US bikes (temp gauge in F°, for example).
