Saddle Bags for Ducati 750 Sport

Hi All! I have a set of used RKA saddle bags for a Ducati 750 Sport. I am asking 75€ plus shipping for the set. The bags are used but in excellent condition, no stains, no wear marks, no holes, all zippers work great. The set was made by RKA in the USA, I purchased them years ago when I used my 750 ...

Thinking of parting out my 1990 750 Sport

Hey all: I have a mostly original 1990 750 sport. Mostly because I had to replace the computer with a Ignitech and the front rotors are floating. Otherwise the fairings are in very good shape and the tires pretty new. Also hidden away are a set of RKS saddle bags and a tank bag, colors and stitching...

Re: ignition swap

I'll look up the pics on my 'puter... but in a nutshell the guys a Ignitech gave me a mapping... and just becaust there are 16 contacts it doesn't mean they all get used... i think it was only about 4 of the one's on my 750 Sport that were actually used. Making the swap got my bike running again... ...

Re: Front sprocket, just came of...

I had this happen years ago while I was on a road trip in Montreal. I think a great deal has to do with the sprocket. In retrospect I noticed that my sprocket had some wobble when mounted on the spindle. The wobble turned into a rocking motion that slowly ate away at the teeth on the retainer. No am...

Re: All Mikuni converters - help please

let me know how it goes... i had the worst experiences when the 38mm mikunis were mounted on my bike... the float bowl was always overwhelmed by the fuel pump so the bike would not de-accelerate when i would roll off the throtle... you know like when you go into a curve. the fuel pressure regulator ...

Re: ignition swap

Very happy day indeed. Months after the ignition swap to the ignitech system, moving to Italy, repatriating the Ducati etc.... I found a local mechanic who happens to also run a race team and loves carburated vintage bikes. Picked up the 750 Sport from him tonight, I've never know this bike to have ...

750 Sport Body Work.... suggestions please..

Hey! Been a while since I posted anything here. Since my last post I've moved to Italy (Sardegna) and have repatriated my 1990 750 Sport/. It gets lots of stares here, looks as though none made it to Sardegna. So my dilemma.... I have the original body work and it's in pretty good shape, but there i...

Re: 750 Sport fuel pump

no idea how to adjust. i disassembled them last year and soaked, then gave to a shop where they also soaked... so they are clean but I think all the settings are gone. I was careful to measure number of turns etc with every screw... who knows what the shop did.

any idea how to adjust?

Re: Valve cam timing, 1990 750 Sport

I can pull the covers off of mine and snap a pic if you need. I did this work a few years ago before I sent the bike into semi retirement so I don't remember the specifics any longer. btw.... how are the mikunis? I had them on the bike when I bought it 17 years ago but could never get them to run ri...

Re: 750 Sport fuel pump

It's the original weber carb. I installed a K&N air filter as well. Also decided to do away with the T and add the fuel pressure regulator. http://i659.photobucket.com/albums/uu312/cpalmas239/Ducati/duc8.jpg You can see the new pressure regulator here http://i659.photobucket.com/albums/uu312/cpa...

Re: 750 Sport fuel pump

Hi!
Question on where to tie the T into the tank...
On the tank there are 2 stems
1 - Rifuito Cabur Waste Fuel
2 - Sfiato Breather Pipe

Which one do I hook the T into?

Thanks!
Carlo
