More than you'll ever want to know in the two docs attached .

Thanks, Steve. I guess you find there's some advantage? Please say more ...

Ciao

Good stuff! You know we will want pictures at the end ...

I don't think safety wire holes have been drilled in the adjacent fins. Ah, you touch on another Ducati mystery :shock: . Sometimes they are ... and sometimes they aren't. And rarely, if ever, on the back. By no means essential; but easy enuf done, especially during a wet and gloomy Portland winter...

My advice: leave them alone, Kara. They don't have a habit of loosening (I can see you've been around British Iron for too long ... :). You won't do any damage by retorqueing them ... but you won't necessarily do any good either :-) On the other hand, it IS a good idea to check the exhaust nuts from...

What do you think of the projected tip versions of the same plug ? Some amongst us make great testimonial claims...like the bp6hs
Cheers

"Solution looking for a problem"? Dunno - sorry. Others will have to respond. (I don't even know if there's enuf piston clearance ...)

<snip> And on that 150% oil pump : I don't remember if Kevin Bracken ran a original pump or uprated one, but there were signs of running without oil on the bigends (at high to very high revs) so I'm wondering if this pump isn't a bit overkill ? Been having much the same thought ... I'm no engine tu...

No need, Kara, altho' your choice ... . Most people find that NGK B6HS do the job admirably.

(L88A in Champion, btw).

Blue smoke under acceleration is normally rings, sad to say, Andy ... But first check the engine breather is working. (I admit I don't understand why (or even how ...) you've fitted a K&N filter. The original system is perfectly adequate for its task ...). You could be pressurizing the crank cases, ...

Ok, you're entering into potentially turbulent waters here, Kara :shock: . But ... Yes, it is generally thought best not to let these motors labour. The dogma goes, "It's not a **** Harley Davidson!" Now, is there any evidence of big-end bearing failure being directly caused by running a Ducati L-tw...

Yes, Kara, no worries. Just slide a board or a lump of wood in between the jack and the sump.

<snip> ... I am new to the PHF world. Well, they're not so bad, delivering both reasonable economy and performance. They do like to be set up right, but once done they remain remarkably stable. Watch especially for getting the float height right; and for simple things like making sure the choke pis...

A while back, I remember posting a question about reducing the torque wrench setting when using anti-seize, versus the "dry" setting assumed by the author. Yes, strictly speaking you should/could, the critical question always being: "By how much?" Dunno ... How slippery is your slippery stuff? ;) A...

No worries - we all have the right to get things wrong from time to time.

Don't forget to put some Coppaslip on the plug threads, btw. Makes life easier when you need to spin them out

I can't seem to unscrew the AB265 jet via a reasonable amount of force. I don't want to snap it off ! Hi (again :) ) Kara, Honestly, rather than force it, I'd leave it. It's an atomiser which comes into operation after around ¼ of the slide movement. They don't regularly wear or nuttin'; so on this...
