Looking through my parts manual I've found two frames available for Pantah 600 SL.

One is listed as 600SL the other is 600SL/A.

What's the difference?

As a matter of interest did the 500 frame differ at all from the 60?

I've bled brakes on many machines and thought I understood things quite well...but after spending 4hours+ on my Pantahs brakes I was ready to burn the thing. :evil:

Followed your advice and had the whole thing done in 30min. The rubber band trick works a treat also.

Thaks Den...you saved a ...

Steve,

How's it going with the Pantah... Any chances of a picture.

I've been thinking...... A dangerous thing at the best of times....

I've got my crank case breathing through a vertical 30cm piece of hose terminating with a small pod filter. This means the pressure that occurrs in the cases equalises with the atmosphere...

Is this the optimum arrangement?

Does ...

Right.... So I guess it certainly can't hurt using a bit of extra top end lube.
Is there any truth to the 'corrosion' story do you think....?

Beauty...that's ace. Thanks heaps

With the removal of lead from petrol, how important is it to put top end lube additve to modern petrol for Ducati engines?

I've had 2 older car engines converted over to unleaded petrol by reco-ing the heads, running harder valve seats and revised valve angles but there seems to be no talk of this ...

Thanks for the prompt reply.... The switches are all new so no problems there. All conntacts are clean. Only thing I haven't done is check the voltage of the bulb. Took it out during the rebuild to make sure it wasn't blown and put it right back in again...will have a better look and maybe just ...

Currently running a Bosch H4 headlight on '82 Pantah. It is woefully under powered to my likeing...Have been told 'just add a relay mate'...sounds to easy to be true

Any fixes to boosting power/brightness?

Well....Job's done.

Bike's roadworthy and rego'ed. Now a going concern...How chuffed am I?

Steve,

I had the same problem...Could not find tourque values anywhere. There are vtorque values for the newer bikes at Ducati's home page ...some of these will apply

But yes...most annoying especially when it came to brake calipers, axle nuts, brake rotors etc...

There is a ton of stuff on the ...

Don't know about the clutch set up...every 600 I've spied on the road has had an hydraulic set up.

Is it the case that some one has converted yours to a mechanical clutch in the past?

My parts and workshop manual specify a hydraulic set-up.

As an aside... Are you still in Aussie or are you ...

Jerrard...here's the tag. The photos of the paint are on the thread contained in Wheel, brakes and tyre shop"'82 600 Pantah...She's in bits"

Hope this helps...

P.S. To any smart arses, bike is not rego'ed nor garaged at my ...

Here are a couple of pictures...she goes for her road worthy next week....
