need help troubleshooting my 907ie

[Tamburinifan]

I noticed that the kickstand sensor wire was broken... I soldered it back on...??? cut off switch???

No, just a gear indicator. Light = no gear.

Sprag has nothing to do w shifting.

+1 on the checking ex valve guide, not uncommon problem, had it, too.

i used the spring from the oil seal trick to repair my sprag issue, been working ever since, going on 2 years now

I checked the valves.... the vert exhaust is/was so tight, as bulls ass @ fly time!

I'll have to sand down the shim

can I use any valve guide? there wasn't any play, but would like to get a spare set for future use....


I dunno if I read too much into it, but, take a step back, your standing on my Jewles!
I don't drink when I ride the bike. Dunno what that has to do with my bikes problem,either. I must have missed something. :)Joke? stab? text is lifeless...
The 12 pack I was refering to was COLA....
I do drink while riding the keyboard from time to time
I brew my own beer, honey mead & Rum here @ my home. 8 bux for a good/dank beer @ the pub is Hwy robbery! not to mention that the men to women ratio, lacking to my orentation.

Yeah, its hot as hades here @ the lake too! it was 107 on the 4th.
my sweat was sweating!!! I had to put the sprinklers on my beehives, the comb was melting & dropping onto the hivebody floor
Any comment on "wetter water" coolant additive?

Thank YOU ALL for the info & comments!!! Amusing & informative!
keep the greasy side down!

Meant entirely as a joke. I like to drink, I like to ride, but I avoid the combination, myself.

As far as the valve - if yout opening clearance if zero, how loose is the closer?

and RE the valve guides- in the US go with Kibblewhite. Don't be surprised, though, if the valve is burned up too.

Run a compression test on it to see if the valve does have damage. I checked mine when I was having a problem, About 118 psig per cylinder. Good enough for me right now.

Sori, I havent gotten back sooner, I thru my back out moving beehives on the almond orchard... I'm supost to still be in bed.... going crazy, just laying there!
thanks for the diversion!

both the opener & closer are @ 0. Still don't understand how they effect the sprag...
anyone explain?

regards

[93IE]

if the motor misfires while the starter is engaged, it overloads the sprag. I can't think of another way to put it. Starter turnining engine clockwise, misfire pushes motor counter clockwise, overloads sprag assy.

Got it all apart in 30 min. Yeah the spring is shot! The previous owner said he had it replaced by Southern California Triumph.( I have the recipts)
I noticed some shabby work, to say it lightly. the spring had several streches & wasn't even atached.. or able to be attached.. the wrong end was cliped! A-HOLZ !
also their HOBO replaced several of the retainer screws... must have dropped/lost them, they are all boogerd up... Where the 5mm allen goes in is all spun out, I don't know If I could remove them with out a tap & dye...

They have a "holyer that thou" attitude, & skoffed @ me when I called to bring it in.
The Jack-abacuses said they don't work on the paso, like it was a hodaka or something.
They are freaking Ducati mechanics for hells sake. They agreed to do the valve adj, after I gave them a PO for the work they had done 2 yrs ago... $600 for the adj.
BS I said, what if I bring it stripped down.... Oh NO we don't work on stripped down bikes.
I told them to pull their head out & wipe the stinky ring off their neck.

Sori, went on a tangent...

what was the oil seal? I'm headed to the auto parts store...

THANK ALL OF YOU GUYS !!! Wish we were all a bit closer, so I could drop off a few bottles of honey mead to ya!!!!!

Is there any type of Paso show or meet up? I know the Moto GP in Monterey Calif....

regards!

I can't find the seal number, but it was a 50mm Chicago Rawhide. Make sure you put sprag back in for correct rotation. Arrow facing you, ccw rotation

[beekeeper]

I didn't use any special tool to pull of the retaining nut.
I rotated the flywheel & used a screwdriver. the handle I put in the sub frame & rolled the flywheel until the edge of the screwdriver wedged in one of the flanges on the flywheel. I'll post a photo or link to my facebook page.
I'm using a drop of locktight on the threads before tork'n it down.
whats the tork? think I saw somewhere here ... it's 140 fp????
it didn't seem to be that tight when I pulled it off, seemed more like 80fp... but an 18 inch breaker bar may have created an illusion...

I marked it before removing it... I didn't notice any arrow. It should spin freely backwards, right...?

No problem,
I took it to the parts store & found one that is perfect. it's just a bit thicker
than the one that was broken. It fits good tho! $8.. I order'd 2 extras for my parts stash.

thinking that the c/r & vic numbers are the 2 parts that make the complete seal.?

going to sand down the valve shim on wet sand paper, I bought 600 grit for the major removal & 1000 for a final polish.... might even use the buffer & some "Mothers" rubbing compound

She should be waking up the neighborhood around 11pm
Looking foreward to riding her up the mountain!
I WILL drink an $8 beer @ hells kitchen, if I make it there....
They have GREAT sweet potato fries. Mmmm!
Going to park right up front where the harley doods park

[beekeeper]

she fired and ran great in the center stand. when I put a load on her she ran like crud.
A new vibration as well.

I opened up the valves again, just to make sure.... YEP the valve guide is blown out.
thinkin it's partly from the valve being adjusted to tight & being old.
I don't know why Ducati used bronze valve guides...

Back to square one....

Luckily my old boss has one he's selling for 1grand...
I'm going to try & talk him down to $600 & sell off what I don't need to cover the cost...
Anyone need anything for you bike???
