Dunno if it helps Nick but my 900ss had two oil coolers like the P750 and unless it was a hot day the thing over cooled unless you were hammering it and in winter I took one cooler out of circuit ( un -plumbed it ). I think the P750 temp gauge is the same one as the 906 just has "oil" writ...

My 900ss had an oil pressure warning light ... whilst riding every so often Id see a flash of red in my peripheral vision ...down by the dash lights , so quick I could never be exactly sure , couldnt fault the motor , worried about brief loss of oil pressure .....turned out to be me nudging the side...

The red wire goes to the end of the two yellows where they join , mine is connected to the reg because it was when I bought the bike , man ,that was the start of my Ducati education , never had another vehicle that needed so much "sorting " admittedly a lot was "previous owner '"...

alt ac output should be 40 - 50vac at 3000rpm and about 75vac at 5000rpm . Im pretty sure my 906 alt has 3 wires , 2 yellows and a red , anyhows you probly need to get an ohms meter onto the alt windings , they should be pretty low at 1 - 2 ohms and there should be no continuity to earth

Paso shouldnt be awkward shifting ....probly need to have a look at the clutch , they gotta be clean , any black marks on the drive plates will make it sticky , but a well sorted gearbox/clutch should be the proverbial hot knife thru butter . Even the chain condition/tension will affect it .

:D yeah :lol: as I suspected .....wildly different ....where's all your shit Nick ? :lol: . I dont see any tools :lol: no oil stains on the floor no grinder grit or weld spatter ....eat your diiner off the floor . That sure is a nice shed Nick but its soooooo not me :D . Im getting a digger in soon ...

Yeah Im still here 😁, pulled the covers off my bikes and gave all the bits likely to rust a bit of an oil up , fork stanchions ,mufflers etc My biggest worry at the mo is that last time I run the Paso up I had coolant leaking out of that drain hole on the water pump . I dont think it liked sitting f...

I bought 6mm aluminium black anodised screws ...with the big heads off an outfit we have ( had?) in NZ called Eurobike years ago . I think quite a few bike makers use similar . One thing I do when looking for bike parts is to go to the loval bike shops and have a look at what the new bikes are using...

Hi Nick , yep , been on my mind for ages now . I figured that when I had to Id get something adapted to work ....bunch of new hose bends and ....dunno what they are called but hoses and bends with different diameters at each end and a few joins . A quick look found this .....mmmmmm nice and shiney ,...

Cool

Hi you need a impossible to find 😁service tool IMG20260717200036.jpg IMG20260717195924.jpg The bottom one is said tool for fitting that bastard spring .The top one is a bent spanner with a socket welded to it and a bit ground off the ring end for clearance ....for torquing the cylinder head nuts. A ...

Cool . Be aware that sprocket bolts are well known to come loose and carve a chunk out of your swing arm . You may think you'd notice as soon as a bolt makes contact but apparently not , seems peeps usually dont and ride along oblivious to the carnage going on untill they are stopped and actually se...

Depends on wether your wanting to fit new bearings or refit the old ones . If your fitting new you could just drive the old ones out with a punch and discard . If you want to re-use then you need to be a bit more careful and use either a bearing puller or a press . If you heat the carrier with some ...

I actually had two complete motors ( 1998 Suzuki LTF4wdx) one in the quad that was given to me had dropped ex valve head and destroyed head and piston ,other was just 2nd hand motor which I fitted and some time later sourse coil packed up and as it was making bearing noises I decided to strip down a...

In off topic .....for you Nick
Yeah , I have a thing for meters
