Re: best sparkplugs?
Honestly, Doug ? I really think you're worrying about something that simply doesn't merit it ... :) Short version: Fit standard-gaped NGK B6HS and sleep easy at night .... Millions of pain-free miles have been notched up by now by bevel twins using these plugs. Explanation : If you want to get more ...

Re: 1980 Darmah Carb Tuning
Never heard the needle valves being different. Can't see why they would - one will flow more juice than the other, that's all.

Re: Odd Darmah Clutch Cable Setup
<snip>... if anyone else had ever seen a similar setup and had any idea why someone would do this! I can only say 'No' to both. (Maybe a DPO was deeply concerned about a clutch cable braking -? ). But as long as it works ... I can't quite see, but is the original abutment/mount for the cable still ...

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it". I guess what I'm asking is, "How bad an issue is it?"

Re: 860 GT Rod Big End Float lateral Spec???
Hi Kara, 1. Put the Haynes manual on the back of the shelf. Good for pictures, pretty much useless for anything else. 2. Get yourself a copy of the factory workshop manual. This has all the assembly specifications as originally conceived by Ducati. (However, do not be surprised to hear that over the...

Re: Paint colour /code for a red and black 1973 750 GT
The offer of a photograph I'd gratefully accept if it doesn't put you out too much especially if it's a none restored example. I'm interested to know how far the black stripe on the tank extends towards the petrol cap on both sides. The other thing is whether or not the colour is slightly metallic....

Re: Paint colour /code for a red and black 1973 750 GT
Hi Mick and welcome to the Forum, What I am currently unable to find is the burgundy red colour used on the tank and side panels. I have never seen an original example so am at a bit of a loss. My first question is whether this was a simple gloss or a metal flake burgundy? I'm no expert on 750s, so ...

Re: 1975 860GT : Two questions
<snip> It looks to me that the removal process might be destructive and render the link no longer usable. Yeah, might free up a bit in use, or could turn out that way. But in any event, there really isn't any reason to re-use a split link. Especially as you should get a new one with every new chain...

Re: 1975 860GT : Two questions
Hi Richard, 1. New plates are often/usually a tight-ish fit. Just tap the side plate down over the pins using a little drift - a small socket, for example - and a light hammer. If it seems tighter than that, come back to us. P.s Simply rotate the wheel until you have the split link supported in a co...
