Just a follow up on the parts for our M1R forks. I have identified and installed 2 more parts that are no longer available from Ducati. These are exact Marzocchi parts as used on both the BMW K1100LT and 907ie and are readily available through any BMW dealer. Item #16 in the picture below: Ducati #8...

Planning to attend the Duc rally at Mosport, May 29/30? I will be there but likely with my '96 SP as it is my track bike. We pit at the east end of the parking lot inside corner 1. Come by and say hello! My bike is #23. http://i892.photobucket.com/albums/ac130/pasolloyd/1991%20907ie/ducatipaso_org/...

My brother bought it new and when he bought something bigger in 1981, I bought it from him. That's where the "sort of" comes from.

Thanks for the good words everyone! du907: The gold I used on the valve covers is just local hardware store metalic paint - nothing special. persempre907: Good eye mate! I didn't completely rebuild it in the dining room. Most of the work was done in the basement over the winter. I did the assembly o...

Bevelheaven has the master rebuild kits:

I can verify that I purchased a 108 link chain for my stock gearing and it fits as the original.

higgy, If you (or anyone else) are having hard starting problems on a 907, I strongly suggest to check the following: 1) With the engine off, remove the connector from the ECU. 2) Using a digital VOM, measure the resistance between pins #11 and #29 ON THE CONNECTOR (not the ECU). You should get arou...

Hi everyone, Here are some shots of the assembly and the completed bike. This was a complete tear-down right to the crankshaft. My Paso had low miles but suffered from neglect (and weather) in the hands of the previous owner. I may write a full description of the issues and what was done if anyone i...

Pics of a 916 engine repair/rebuild are up. Not paso specific, but related as the cases are virtually identical to the 907ie.
Find them here:

OK. Pics are in Photobucket at http://s892.photobucket.com/albums/ac130/pasolloyd/1996%20Ducati%20900%20SS%20engine/ I will also uplad a complete 916 tear-down and rebuild which includes main bearings etc. when I get some time. The 907ie is next... Browse away. I will try to put them in some sort of...

I have a pile of pictures that show an engine dis-assembly, assembly process from my '96 900 SS. They are all high quality digital, but I have nowhere to post them. I think they would be of much interest to the group and welcome any suggestions as to where they can be posted. There are about 135 ima...

Finnpaso: The upper bushing is item #19 on page TAV20 of the '92 907ie parts manual available on this site. This correponds to Ducati #34910031A, Marzocchi part #538037 and BMW part #31422310347. This is NOT the dust scraper - item #15. The oil seal or fork seal (or "Junk Ring") is item #1...

Today I have verified that the upper bushing for the 907ie 41.7mm M1R forks is available through BMW. The Marzocchi part number is: 538037 The BMW part number is: 31422310347 I paid $50 each from a local dealer here in Canada This bushing is identical and from the same OEM supplier as our originals....

Tamburinifan:
Yes, there is definately only one aluminum "bushing". It is at the bottom of the spring in the left leg.

Here are some pics of my '91 907ie forks. I have tried to lay them out in the basic order that they go together starting with the caps and working inward. The seals and bushings are already installed in the sliders/stanchions and aren't really visible. The seals are 41.7 x 55 x 7.5/10 - Marzocchi #5...
