New Purchase 907ie
New Purchase 907ie
Good Day,
I have just purchased a very clean and tidy 907ie, which I am very chuffed with. Dare I say it, in some ways I prefer it to my 888.
My questions are a bit of an idiot seeking information.
To top up the oil and coolant, do I have to remove the whole right hand side fairing ( I know Ducatis can be impractical, but this seems a bit over the top, even for Ducati).
Much obliged and try not to snigger too much, if there is a simple way that I have missed.
Regards

Re: New Purchase 907ie
Bugger!
Thank you, much appreciated, not the answer I was hoping for, but not overly surprised.
It could lead to some very long oil top up times at service station. Please be patient while I dismantle my bike to top up the oil and then re-assemble, sorry I forgot to check the coolant
I don't think I can make the wee jaunt to the mountains of deepest Lincolnshire, but will let you know.
Thanks again.
P.S I am based in Surrey if there are any like minded fools up for a Sunday bacon roll and tea (usually Newlands Corner, Arundel Bognor etc.)

Re: New Purchase 907ie
You can get to oil top up cap by just removing the rhs seat panel. A length of 22mm pipe and funnel and jobs a goodun.
Re: New Purchase 907ie
Thank you for the advice regarding using a piece of pipe and a funnel.

Hmm, not quite up on my proper English. Is Chuffed mean you are happy or sad?
Two countries separated by a common language.

Re Chuffed:
Very happy with the bike, it has now been christened El or Elly by my better half, probably something to do with Mexico or having an Elephant logo....anyway, I fear my other bikes may be getting a bit neglected.
English, hopefully see you at the Ace, will also have better half with.

Re: New Purchase 907ie
I found this for a 851/888 once. Not a bad idea but the problem on a Paso would be where to mount it to.

Thanks for that. Good idea. I'll speak to a mate of mine who has a lathe and is a very good technical bodger.

Re: New Purchase 907ie
I can take the dimensions if you`re interested.

Re: New Purchase 907ie
Thanks G.
If you could that would be a great help. Could you take another photo of the O ring part of the adapter (where it fits into the casing)? I suppose there may even be a market for them, especially if they can be used on other Ducs of that era.

Let me know if there`s anything missing. I make my drawings in Powerpoint as I`m faster in using it as a drawing program As a consequence small details as chamfered edges aren`t shown. Therefore I added more pictures. My Powerpoint drawings are just for the dimensions.
I`d hollow the cap out to make it lighter.

These are a lot more detailed than I was expecting. I will give them to my mate to see what he can do.
Failing that, I have a friend who owns an engineering works and has CNC machines. Unfortunately he is in South Africa, but will send them to him as well.
Thanks again

Re: New Purchase 907ie
K. you should verify if and where you can position it on the Paso and design a specific mounting bracket.
(I forgot to mention the height of that bracket in the file. It`s 12mm but totally unrelevant for a Paso)
