Re: Thermostat repair

Just chiming in to say that I replaced my failed thermostat over a year and 3k+ km ago using the method described in the OP. A new ST2 t'stat was the donor. No silcone used on reassembly, the new O-ring from the donor and some care peening down the clamping ring was all that was necessary. Works a t...

Finally got around to ordering a set of these samco hoses. Went for the red. 270.23 to my door in 5 days Ditto for me. Had them on for coming up 2 years now and have to say that it's been great not having the nagging worry of 20+ yo rubber hoses. Also running Evans waterless coolant with the system...

Re: Ducati Diagnostic Instrument

Thanks for the responses guys. Haven't looked at the bike for a week or two now, although I did quickly run a compression test on the rear cylinder; 125psi. So that's doesn't seem likely to be the problem. As I mentioned in my op, there is a big fat spark at the rear cylinder, so I'm discounting CDI...

That makes sense, thanks.

Ducati Diagnostic Instrument

Hi everyone My back cylinder has gone quiet. :mad: There's plenty of compression and spark, so am thinking there may be some kind of timing (crank angle sensor) or fuel issue. My workshop manual talks about a diagnostic tool; blinking light variety, plugs in at the engine management unit, to check t...

Re: Waterless Coolant experiment

Evans does make the engine run a fraction hotter I was curious about this and wanted to ask a while ago after reading that in the technical datasheet. (Then age took over and I forgot.) How much difference does it make? Hi. I've neen running the Evans in mine for a while now and haven't noticed any...

Re: 907IE Radiator Hoses

I've just stumbled back across this thread and will probably go ahead and order a set. Do we have any feedback from those who have done so already?

Now all we need is someone to remanufacture the heard tank.
