Re: 907 bursts into flames.

Geez Francesco, nerves of steel :cool: I think, if it happened to me, I would point it towards the bush and give it a big shove! Then I would ring the wife and get her to come pick me up... :lol: Insurance is a wonderful thing... It's good that you saved a paso from death though :thumbup: I don't k...

Re: 907 bursts into flames.

I saved my red 907 from flames. The rectifier caught fire. I wonder if the same thing happened to that 907 :,( Ciao was the bike running at the time or stopped? ...just contemplating on the usefulness of a battery isolator switch :dunno: In hindsight I wish I bought that one. It was advertised for ...

Re: First Ride

I would'nt be worried about the clutch noise. As you said, it's the same of you old Monster and it's a Ducati dry clutch treat. On both my 907s, I have the clutch covers drilled. So the rattle of clutch is more noisy :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: You must to worry only if the clutch is slippery. Def...

Re: Butchered swingarm

Hey Mc Tool,
you well remember!
By now, I need to remove, take it out, take apart, dismount etc. etc. both the swingarm bearings and the fuel filter.
Really, I would have preferred to replace the fuel filter only :,( :,( :,(

Re: Butchered swingarm

Hi Persempre, when the bearings spin/move as intended I would leave them in place. the same counts for the wheelbearings, as these faced the axial load during the damaging to the swingarm. lock-wiring the nuts is an option, although not strictly necessary as the original nuts are mechanical selfret...

Re: Butchered swingarm

Many thanks, I guess the only problem was the nuts unbolt. In fact, I found all the nuts not well screwed on the carrier sprocket. So, I will lock them with the wire to avoid they will go unbolt again. Do you think I don't need to replace the swingarm bearings? If yes, how can I remove the bearings ...

Butchered swingarm

Yesterday, a nut of the rear sprocket was unbolt on my black 907 :banghead: :banghead:
I need to fix that damned stuff. Luckily, I have got a spare swingarm.
Any advice?
Do the bearings need to be replaced or can I use the old ones again?
What kind of bearings?
Many thanks in advance.
Ciao

You'll certainly get good advice from knowledgeable enthusiasts and it won't cost you a penny/dime/cent/ peso(paso?) /etc. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: British homour?
