Joking for Christ sake

K.I.S.S. two wires two scotchlocks a switch go for a ride I have a 65c thermostatic valve on my 906 and the only fan switches available are mounted to the cylinder block (Aprilia), so if I wanted auto switching I had to make/adapt a device. Only having a mechanical switch is getting cranky. The ele...

I utilised a 12v room thermostat kit, had to change a number of resistors to alter the 5-30c thermostat into a 55-90c device. Purchased at a Maplin store, why it even exists I don't know but I had a use for it. Coupled with a 3 way switch (Off / On / Auto) it is a handy little black box with an LED ...

Awesome stuff Warwick and very well done too. I've always relied on the seat of my pants to judge the mixture but well know a dyno-shop truly gets the best result for fuel injection.

You have only got yourself to blame. Who in their right mind would start a 200km+ ride with a motorcycle that had cut out 5 times the previous ride? *Note* When the Ducati develops a fault you don't ride it again until the fault is found. Good luck fixing it... spares are difficult to find this cent...

Amazing there is no engine damage! Normally the hex undoes and the flywheel rotates on the shaft crushing the woodruff key & breaking the crank. Seen this done to an 851 - what a mess.

Series 90 - 6 speed

The relay mod works well for the 906 but it is only a reroute of power for the Digiplex, which is the last appliance on the loom. Check the primary coil resistance too - mine measured something like 0R84 (that is less than 1 ohm) so I replaced them with Kawasaki modules that have a primary impedance...

I am not sure about the '3 wire' connections from Electrex. The standard Energis reg/rec has two yellow (phase power) and one Red that is for voltage comparitor (warning light circuit). Simply joining the red to a yellow and the yellows together is not to be done! Even if they are right to say the p...

Drawing is revised - see page 2 of this thread What I have done is follow the initial design by Ducati. If the fuel pump was mechanically driven by a cam off the engine then its output would approximate 'rpm vs fuel pressure' and a regulator without reflow would be ideal. The fuel pump is electric a...

No there are no burnt valves in my 906 and I also have a quick release fuel pipe connector (image corrected - page 2) on the return line that is quite restrictive - but no return line? I kept the return line so that the fuel pump cant be stopped and consequently overloaded (ie. a 'full carb' means n...

When I purchased a replacement 'T' piece from my local Weber outlet, well it was more of a 'Y' piece the base tube was wide and the two tails were narrow so there is a right and wrong to this. Naturally the wider tube takes its feed from the pump.

R U kidding me ? Did the laws of physics suddenly change ? Think about what you just posted :banghead yeah , beats the crap outa me how they won the war :D What are you talking about? Do I need to add idiot arrows too? Fuel out of tank to pump then splits between return pipe and regulator. The whol...

I really think you are making the job over complicated. Even if the fuel pump fails it can be by passed with a short length of pipe to get you home. It isn't a good idea to cut off the fuel supply to the pump when it is running, the motor will be overloaded. If you dont want options then you dont wa...

Ah ... ok , I was under the impression that these pulsing pumps have a set of contacts that open and close to ... If you block off the outlet there will be no fuel flow and thus the armature will not travel full stroke , contacts wont close , pump stops Could be, I don't know. To find that out I wi...
