Re: 750 Sport swingarm crack

Re: New Ducati Sport Owner Melbourne AUS.

Hey All. She's back together. Starting can be a bit of a trial, but once running...Nice! Getting a crappy standard muffler fitted to hopefully please VicRoads (🤮). Photos to come soon. When warm idle is around 2000, a bit much but is going in for a full service with Brad.

Re: Another fuel line Q

Breather for the battery was mentioned. A bit of research and it seems older batteries did have a breather, so I'm guesing that is what it is

Re: New Ducati Sport Owner Melbourne AUS.

Been a while. Bit busy. Today the carb was finished off and air box/new filter put on. Rebled the brakes with a vacuum pump. Then, did the final touch the old fashioned way. I'm not convinced about the vac pump. The old way seems better. I had to clean out the fluid reservoir at the front. Brown slu...

Re: Fork Service/Rebuild

There is a lot of 40mm seals out there. Is it anything for a 40mm marzocchi fork? The genuine part number doesnt seem to generate a set.

Fork Service/Rebuild

Geez I'm posting a bit here :P So with the wheels on I gave the front a push. Suspension went down and came back up but without much enthusiasm. No leaks/marks on the forks, just doesnt feel great. Maybe with me on boaerd riding it may feel better but the bike is a while away before it hits the road...

Re: Cleaned up Carb

So off each side of the carb, into the T and then down the LHS of the bike into the box of tricks at the back. Bottom RH corner, that's the pipe connection

Niow, I've made a real rookie error...I didnt photo everthing and as its been weeks since the carb was removed I forget how the fuel lines went. I th...

Re: New Ducati Sport Owner Melbourne AUS.

Nope. The rear caliper bleed screw is still leaking. Perhaps a sealing washer?

Re: Weber Carb settings

Float Height thoughts.. Brad the bike boy said 44mm float height, I have seen 43 on a forum. Mine was and is 42mm. Does a couple of mm make a diff?

Exhaust Headers

Hello All, I've jumped over from the 750 Sport page to seek some advice. I have a 1990 750 Sport it is a USA import to Australia, The headers are some kinda home made mess and I'm after some new ones. My measurements show the outer diameter to be 38mm. I think this was a USA thing. Would any of you ...
