Will get a meter on it next week, was about 5 years ago that I changed reg rect, not sure exact reason red wire was disconnected but think that I followed instructions in the faq about fitting an electrex unit, anyway its been ok until last week.

Hi The 906 discharges the battery when running with lights on. Checked battery voltage with engine running, no lights rises to around 13.2 volts, with lights on battery is around 12.4v and falls Voltage output at alternator is around 15v ac , across the two yellow wires at 3k revs, with load disconn...

I replaced mine with an ignitech unit when the bike started to run on only one cylinder, advantage of this was it can be programmed, although never felt the need on the paso, just run it with the standard programme, also fitted one to a 06 bonneville, personally can recommend them for service value ...

The warning lights have been playing up, have removed the instrument cluster and disconected the multiplug connectors, found a couple of wires had come loose from the terminals, so am assuming this to be the likely cause. I have spent a couple of fruitless hours searching to find what type of connec...

Had the 906 booked in for its mot last friday, sadly had to cancel, the wife needed to go to hospital, she slipped on ice and damaged a disc in her back, test was rebooked for tomorrow but will have to cancel as have to dig a hole to bury the cat, tried to get that done today but ground was too froz...

Been having trouble with the whirry clonky bit, otherwise known as the sprag clutch, got it out yesterday, no real problems other than massive torque on alternator nut, got a ktm one ordered, was surprised how loose the garter spring on the old one was, so thinking about ordering a spring from an oi...

Yes, it is a problem Francesco!! i am very lucky to be able to keep the bikes i have got so to even think about buying another, even a rare grey 906 is just asking for trouble from she that says, "why do you need five bikes when you can only ride one" if anyone can think of an answer to t...

To be perfectly honest here, this is just a wild guess, and probably totally irrelevant to your bike but the 906 pasos have a fuel pressure regulator in the fuel feed to the carb where excess fuel is returned to the tank, does your bike have a similar system fitted, if it does does the regulator wor...

That was a rubber sealed bearing, the bearing number was probably moulded into the rubber seal, if you need to identify it you can either use steine dinse or another supplier.

Thanks paso750, probably saved me a trip and a hangover. Will get them posted and take the paso down to deliver the beer payment when its sorted, will also get a blast on his mhr bevel so will have too wait till weather improves cos he doesn,t let it out in the wet

The bore on the pulley has a step worn in it about 0.6 mm fortunately there is no wear I can measure on the camshaft. Can you suggest an adjustable pulley I could use? The 916 pulleys would be free from a mate,well apart from postage or fuel to pick them up.

hi the 906 developed a rattle the other day, got me home and when checked over found the pulley on the vertical cylinder was loose so stripped the head off and found quite a bit of wear on pulley bore however fortunately no measurable wear on bore got a chance of a couple of pulley from a 916, as fa...

Thanks will get tools ordered

Hi ,planning on checking the valve clearances, looking around the web there appears to be 2 different diameter shims that ducati use on different models each size needing different tools to measure and remove shims, so can someone please tell me which size ,7 or 8mm diameter are used on the 906 Thanks

Thats what I paid for mine when I bought it, the whole bike that is
Spent about the same on bits, belts, ignition, chain and sprockets, reg /rec and a couple of relays,.
Glued and patched up an indicator lens with clear araldite mixed with orange acrilyc paint
