Re: Observations and questions, continued
Experience with my Paso and a friend's Elefant indicates insufficient clutch slave piston travel to prevent drag, as evidenced primarily by difficulty selecting neutral. He installed a braided steel hose. I made a 6mm spacer for the clutch perch which gives the lever more travel. This solved our clu...

Cam Belt Covers
Does anyone know of any actual damage done due to running without cam belt covers? I see that customizers remove the covers, and so did the Ducati factory race team. I understand how ingestion of road debris could be a problem. I once took a piece of gravel on a belt-drive Suzuki and had to stop and...

Re: Really weird front fork problem
You're not alone. My Kawasaki KLR650 has started doing exactly the same thing. It doesn't leak enough or often enough to warrant tearing it apart yet.

Re: Frankenstein Paso
Sorry to say, I cut them from a plastic bottle. Secured by hose clamps. Sophisticated, huh?

Re: Frankenstein Paso
I've never had an oil temperature gauge on the Paso, but my longtime Ducati guru experimented with gauges on his Elefant and his bevels. Our observation was that Ducatis are easy on their oil. He ended up taping over the Elefant's cooler to raise operating temps. Of course, we do live in Washington,...

Re: mikuni /webber conversion
And you will need carb heat when it's 40F and foggy or rainy. I once rode 30 miles on the interstate with the throttle stuck open from carb icing, feathering the brakes to control speed. Lost my nerve after a while, hit kill switch and pulled onto shoulder. A minute of non-operation melts the ice. T...

Re: mikuni /webber conversion
Some Ducati Mikunis came with engine-oil carb heat (girlfriend's 900SS FE) and some came with electrical heating elements under the throttle plate (mine).

Re: mikuni /webber conversion
It's carb heat, to prevent icing.
