Extra special thanks to @higgy for making the trip to my humble garage. In the end, it was a bad top cover gasket in combination with the left hand main jet that got unscrewed, somehow. The wide-open main jet allowed too much fuel into the left-hand venturi. After that, it was off to the races. Two ...
Mc Tool, Thanks for the insight. Higgy has been also helping me. A quick update from (my) Sunday shenanigan's. I looked very carefully at the throttle stop. I checked its operation with a feeler gauge. No play, no gap, and the throttle stop made full contact in position with the throttles closed. Ju...
Mc tool: thank you for your insight. FYI, it has been warm enough to start the bike with no choke. Subsequent restarts were also accomplished with no choke. Interestingly, the problem occurs with the airbox on or off. Though I was careful to see how the choke cable was routed into the channel provid...
This one is new to me. My U.S. spec 1990 906 starts from cold at runs up to full speed. Without any throttle input, and with the throttle fully closed, the tach reaches 8,000 RPM as I'm twisting the key to kill the ignition and avoid any expensive sounds. Scary. I had recently replaced the excess fu...
With the permission of Graham at The Image Works', I can let everyone know that the ebay seller known as The Reverend Dogposture and the company known as The Image Works are one and the same. The decal kits sold either directly or through ebay are the identical kit. UK & EU customers have the op...
Higgy! Yes, the Paso runs really, really well. New plugs, wires, and the Digiplex was fine after all. But it's always nice to have an NOS spare. As for decals, what shops are we talking about? And how does Joe Shmoe's decal emporium scan our damaged originals? Obviously, I haven't a clue... And once...
I'm contemplating a repaint for my 906. But before I strip away the old decals, I need a recommendation from you, the collective wisdom, about from where to source a new set of decals. And yes, I used the search function before asking. All that turned up was an Australian who had a boat builder budd...
MicPaso, thanks for the link. All installation stories have their uses. Duc906, you hit the jackpot! A day or two before you posted, I found the same seller on eBay, and bought one. Allegedly, it's built for our 906's, and not the Motoguzzi. which used the same box, programmed slightly differently (...
Paso750, thank you for the detailed reply. Helpful to know going forward. While I haven't yet tried to reach out to Silent Hektik, I did hear back from Sachse: Hello, Ducati did not change the dimensions up to the year 2000 so it should be fit. The alternative is the mounting onto the belt drive: ht...
It seems that 23 years is about the lifespan of a Digiplex S2 on my 906 Paso. My mechanic and I have all but certified that the Digiplex has gone south. So, it’s time to look hard at alternatives. Koko64 seemed to ask this question in his conversation, “Ignitech for 906?” But there are no clear answ...
