Re: Left engine cover removal

Behind the flywheel is the starter sprag. You probably have an issue in there. Check the FAQ for info regarding repair or replacement.

California Cycle Works also has the proper gaskets. If I recall, you need the gasket for the space it takes up. Using 3-Bond isn't reccomended instead of the gasket.

Re: Bearings about to go...

If you can wait and see if a good bottom end shows up on ebay, then do that. Conversely, if you have some medium wrenching skills, you can pull the engine from the frame fairly easy. Then it's not much to take the engine to him that way. Stripped as far as you are comfortable. That will save many ho...

Re: Homologation tyres in Italy

I will then write a cover letter in English and pass it on to Ducati as coming from all club members direct. Sir, if you think it will help I will gladly submit my name, address, phone, bike serial #, etc. as one might do on a petition form. Thank you for your efforts on behalf of all of us and esp...

Re: Homologation tyres in Italy

I have some names at Ducati that might help. I'm told that they do not speak or read english and I have no Italian except the most basic words. Can one of our Italian members write me a passionate but very nice letter explaining this problem and what Ducati can do to easily resolve it?? I will then ...

Re: Spend a little time,the answers are here

Steve,

It's just old age or maybe time to change your meds? :-)

You should wait until you have spent as much time as Gerhard and I here!!! Take 30 days off and come back with renewed Paso love. That's what I do when the BS meter hits a high.
