So I thought I would post up my experience of 2 parts I have swapped.

The first is the Oberon clutch slave. I have to say very easy install and an amazing difference on the effort needed to pull the clutch. It was night and day and took a minute to get used to. But now with shorty levers I can easily use just 2 fingers without them wearing out in traffic.

Second is marchesini forged aluminum wheels. I have only installed the front so far as the back was damaged and is being repaired. I paid $200 for the set. But today I got the front installed and it is again a night and day difference in the handling. Much less effort needed to turn, rather shocking how much difference it actually made in the feel of the bike.

Hi everyone,

I did a quick search and couldn't find any info. I'm looking for a shop manual for my 2002 748S. I'm assuming a manual for the regular 748 would work as well. I'd appreciate any help! Thanks in advance.

I have a slipper clutch w/ new a new Yoyodyne clutch pack.....found that occasionally when leaving from a stop the clutch seems slip-squeal, then engaged. It jerks the motorcycle forward. Given it's a new clutch pack could the stack height be incorrect? Ideas???? It's Yoyodyne's organic light weight clutch pack....

I'm replacing some of the bolts on my track bike to titanium. Should I use factory torque spec or does titanium require a different spec. I'm using TPO bolts

I'm replacing

engine bolts
swingarm pivot bolt
upper/lower triple tree bolts
lower shock/ride height bolt
rocker pivot bolt
upper ride height/shock bolts
front/rear caliper bolts
front axle pinch bolts
rear hub pinch bolts

Any suggestion?

1198 F08 For Sale


So im digging through my couch cushions right now !!

Wonder why they are selling them?!?!?

Is he switching to another brand ?

Did Ducati stop supporting him since they are pulling out of WSBK??

Or are they just selling them to make room for new ones for next year ??

Just thought every one should check this out

What are people getting these days for a 2008 1098?

KBB puts it at @ 11,900
NADA - @ 10,900

What's the street value?

Having trouble selling one :confused:

My 996 is almost ready to go. The only thing holding it back is a burnt out clutch. The basket is stock and i would like to keep it that way. Also this bike won't be seeing the track in my owner ship so just a simple clutch would do. Can i use the barret or any other clutch pack with my stock basket? Or should i go with an oem one?

Ok, here's the deal..

I've come to a dead end with my bike. (No spark at all !!)

The bike is a '99 996 sps with 20 miles on it. Very good condition. But suddenly last wednesday, it was idling for warmup before a ride, then it suddenly stalled.

I've gone over all the wiring harness, relays, plugs, plug caps, sensors, fuel system, and so on.. everything! And all is in prestine shape, but still no spark.

But I did find out that the mounting bolts for the ecu (p8) had been teard off, and the ecu has bin bouncing on the frame for probaly years!! The ecu cover was almost warn thru! :-0

So the only thing left to check is the ecu! Can the ecu suddenly die? have anyone experinced this? could the eprom just die?

I've pulled both, and they both looks like new. No burns or any sign of damage at all! It has never been opened before either. So I would think thats not the problem, BUT anything else has bin checkes and so to say ruled out.

I've also talked to two different ducati dealers, and they bot just scratch their heads and said, sorry.. you've tested everything I would test, so I can't help you anymore. You have to bring her in.

I usulally fix all my problems myself, but this is the first time I've ever manige to NOT fix the problem.

So my question.. (last shot).. can I pull my friends ecu (1,6 from a 748 sps) and put in my bike and put in my eprom.. Will it work? or do I have to have another P8 ecu? This is to see if my ecu is broken. Hopefully rule that out too.

Any other ideas what it can be? Maybe I've gone blind working hours on the bike everyday for a week now!

I also lost a ducati-trip with my friends over the mountains last weekend due to this problem! :(

Help!

In advance, thanks!

Hello. My bike shifts hard from 1st to 2nd at high RPMs. When I ride it normally, it usually does not have a problem. I checked the oil and it was low. I was surprised/angry that I allowed it to go so low on me. After I CHANGED the oil, it does not bang as much. Could it be the gear selector or are the first two gears wearing out? Thank you.

Does anyone with Progressive Insurance know if they cover track day damage. Not racing but track days. TIA.

I need to adjust the position of the master cylinder on an 02 998(hitting inside corner on windscreen at full lock). I have the manual and it says tighten in 1-2-1 sequence(what does that mean) to specified torque settings. But I can't find the exact settings in the manual. I only need to move it a few mm in. Thanks for the help.

does that work or is the 03-04 a match and 05-06 a match?

My Ohlins R&T fork seals are leaking. I'm trying to decide if I should buy the proper tools and replace the seals myself or send them to a professional to replace the seals and while they're at it have the forks revalved, sprung and setup for my weight. My 998 is now track only.

I'm 160lbs. - what weight is stock R&T fork sprung for?

Any recommendation on good suspension tuners?

Anyone have experience with Pro Pilot in NJ? They are only about 30 minutes from my house and I wouldn't have to worry about shipping.

I am troubleshooting a poorly running 916 that I just bought. Its my first Ducati and I got it real cheap so I know it needed work.

Anyway this is what I have so far maybe I can get a step in the right direction.

Changed the plugs. THe vertical was fouled and I think there was a bad connection between the plug and the wire. The horizontal was fine.

CHecked compression vertical 135psi horizontal 160psi. THis is a big split (I think) but not sure if it is for Ducati. WHat do you think?

Havent' gone into it more than that for now. BUt it will start right up with the fast idle on. And it will keep running as long as it is above 2000RPM anything below that it stalls right away. And it actually sounds like its running way slower than 2000 RPM even though thats what the Tach is reading. COuld the Tach be off and slowing down the idle below a stalling speed?

Hello everyone. I am new to the forum. I am currently debating whether to get a slightly used 2008 1098s with less than a thousand miles or a new 2010 1198 for about the same price. I am not looking to track this bike in the near future. I had 8 bikes in the past 10 years. Riding motorcycle is just a weekend hobby so I am not as confident and competitive as to my driving skill. Please share the pros and cons base on your perspective. Your input would be helpful! Thank you in advance.
