well...first up - the bike will run FINE with about 1/2 a pound of crud in the filter. if fuel flows - it goes. I guess it could starve under certain semi-blocked conditions but it should die in a running out of fuel manner, not just a sudden "eeep". Similarly, it should give a starve situ...

I had one that the alternator warning light was not "useable" with... It was an "aftermarket" unit fitted to the 907 before I bought it. We picked up an AC "spike" on oscilloscope and discarded it when I was trouble-shooting the misfire (thinking the AC might upset the ...

thanks guys...the whole thing has gone well. I didn't megger the stator; nearly did but took the risk...so far OK. there was an additional 30 amp fuse near the battery that had blown - and probably saved the stator the unit I bought was a lot cheaper than through Ducati and is a genuine Ducati part ...

Jaffa

100 (one hundred) CC engine.
99% of the local bikes there are less than 125CC; occasionally you see a 250.

there were a lot of 250CC in BalikPapan; I even saw a police escort of the local Kawasaki 250CC club - about 200 bikes!!!

off topic...but you've gotta see this... perhaps you'll sneer at the work as "bush mechanic" but these pictures were taken in East Borneo (Kalimantan - Indonesia) in a tiny village where the bike was built up by a local mechanic. in case you didn't notice - neither front OR rear wheel has ...

thanks Higgy... what I need are the ohms (no, not the Buddhist monk "ommmmm") and AC Voltage figures for say 1200RPM & 4000 RPM usually these will have a tolerance, too... I want to check the stator at running temp to see if it's intermittant short the bike was cruising at 100km/hr whe...

Guys... my 907ie is just fine...but I've smoked a regulator on my 1997 900SS from what I can determine the alternator's a single phase (two yellow wire) unit - same (or similar) to the 907ie what I need is the test figures for the altenator to make sure it's not an internal fault..I don't wanna fry ...

well, I bought one and fitted it... it lives above the plastic filler tank and can be accessed / opened / filled by removal of the front fairing around the headlight... some minor plumbing required...but at least the hoses are available...the Ducati OEM hose will be difficult to replace. I will post...

Bomber's post about relays remineded me of something... the wiring to the relays (spade connectors) are not positively retained. I found that plugging the relay into the block can cause the spade connector to be pushed down if the male and female connectors aren't correctly aligned... this can cause...

the fuel pump and the ignition / ECU are totally independant (except that they run off the same battery) - if the initial "bogging" was due to the fuel pump it didn't cause the spark to go away. there is a possibility that the testing for spark has burned out the ignitors. these are locate...

in terms of "performance" there won't be much between the two...
it might be observable on a dyno or in CO emissions testing; unlikely that the chip alone will make that much difference.
the U21 is suited to staintune and Termi exhausts

I found this cap on the net which might be a good alternative to the CB600 unit comes with a 0.9 pressure relief (saves finding another cap) http://www.frozenboost.com/product_info.php?products_id=1064 any thoughts from those who have done the conversion??? I'm just about to convert and am having tr...

...OK; I guess that "fixing" a broken sensor is a "fix" in itself... but I do have one really really good question... How did you test the MAP sensor worked after you glued it to fix it? did you apply a vacuum? if so - what pressure? are you sure the MAP sensor is still working (...

Hiya Higgy... feel free to rant BUT...leave out persuasive comments like "only a fool..."; there are valid resons not to change filters if you change fuel system components...like the injector or regulator - which is down-stream of the filter, anyway... in the post he says he's changed the...

and one more thing...the filters... I've been conned with the filter change thing a few times... the filters are very rarely the cause of a fuel problem; if the fuel flows it's NOT the filter. The fuel still flows and maintains 3 bar pressure even if the filter is full of crap choked solid. sure, ch...
