hi , I had a set of those pipes on my VFR750. I just left the valve thing wide open .
now for the important stuff .... where in NZ Im in Thornbury , Southland
welcome to the show

All good , pleased you got it sorted.
Sometimes when you look back after finding such a fault, you realise this thing has been giving you grief for a while .........

Brakes 😁, when I got my Paso I thought the brakes were great if a little underpowered but good feel . In the wet I learnt that the 1st (sphincter tightening ) couple of rotations after grabbing a handful of brakes wipe the water off the discs then its business as usual. Then I got me a 1997 900ss de...

I would check the tank breather. Probly easiest to ride bike untill it stops and then quickly remove fuel cap . It should just open without any vacuum in the tank or sucking noises. Check the gause filter at the carb too I have seen crap build up untill it blocks this filter.Once fuel flow stops thi...

Re the idle screw, I was meaning that if the throttle shaft crank was not resting on the idle speed screw that the throttle may be sticking slightly open ........which would be evidenced by the crank not resting on the screw. Another thing to consider is that these engines dont carburett well at low...

8000 rpm with no load would only require the throttles to be open a wee bit ...so best make sure the throttle crank is resting on the idle speed screw. The choke also has an air bypass to act as a fast idle ( allows air thru the choke assy to mix with the extra fuel the choke provides , this extra a...

Yeah 700 bucks nz , nice but ........

Was not aware that the IDF version fit the DCNF......Good call :beer: How do the tall vents work on the 750 setup ? Nah , me neither . Just seemed to obvious for no one not to mention it so far , specially as there were a few peeps poking around that area a while ago . 😁I do feel duty bound to add ...

Hi Nick ,I bought a p750 dash as a spare and then realised that the 750 was oil cooled , soooo yeah I sure they are the same 😁🙄. I figure that the measured temps , be they oil or coolant are going to be pretty much the same , oil may be 10⁰c hotter during normal use . I cant see Ducati making a whol...

Not sure if the 916 pulleys are adjustable , but I go for adjustable as the factory cam timing is terrible . When I bought my 906 it had the rattle and like you it was a loose vert cyl cam pulley . The only real damage was flogging out the keyway a bit . I peined the damage back into shape on the ca...

Aw come on Gert , you know these bikes . It your looking for things to fix just ride it round for 5 mins .
I think the extra earth wire is a good idea ....so much so that I am going to do it to my quad as Im having alt issues with it .

Yep ,I wrapped the inner tubes with stainless wool and mig wire , then fitted the outer sleeve and stuffed the outer area with fibreglass mat . As G sez above .....sorta, the tighter you pack the fibreglass in the noisier it will be but the packing will last longer ......happy medium sort of thing 8)

Automotive electrical shop . That looks like my 906 fuse block

I guess its just one of them things you sometimes discover when you buy a used vehicle .......no control over its past owners actions. Bit of a pita but with a good o ring chain you wont be doing much adjusting . I met the previous owner of my Paso at a bike rally . He expressed surprise to see it s...
