Re: Gear selection issues
No worries, Austin. If that's stopped you splitting the cases, it has to be a success :-D . Change both the springs while you're there. The extra cost is minimal, and you don't want to be pulling it all apart again for the poxy pawl spring 6 months from now. And just check the condition of the selec...

Re: Hello from Western Australia
Hi Brett (I guess?) and Welcome to the Forum. I trust you realise that you are the owner of the best Bevel twin ever made :-D . Ok, I'm biased since I have one too. But I have had other models, and 'experience is the best teacher'. If you can let me have the frame and engine numbers, I'd appreciate ...

Re: Gear selection issues
Hi, Stop. Take a deep breath. It's almost certainly one, other or even both of the two gear return springs. In my life of owning Bevel twins, I've had both fail on me, and that more than once, including on my old MHR. Neither has to be broken for you to lose gear selection (see photo below from one ...

Re: need identification help
Here are the records from the Robert Miller/BevelHeaven register. You can see where your bike fits in. Quite a rare and desirable model. 350 SCR.jpg Please don't forget to submit your numbers to Robert, [email protected].com.au. Just be careful to get them absolutely right - so much stuff he get...

Re: need identification help
The bike on the picture is a Widecase <snip> Agree - now that I've blown the photo up :doh: . Can see the clutch lever :-D . And looking closer, the mounting for the shock absorbers is in the wide case position, not the narrow case. And the seat has a trim piece which the narrow case didn't. And th...

Re: need identification help
Hi and Welcome to the Forum. i am in the process of restoring what i was told was a 1966 350 scrambler but cannot find a picture, specs or history of one of these for reference. it has the 350 bevel drive motor and i was told it is a widecase. First off, it CANNOT be a 1966 wide case. That is becaus...

Re: SmartCarb in 1976 900SS ?
Hot start is still potentially embarrassing , but it is more me getting used to the amount of priming needed. As written above by 81mhr900ss: None. When the motor is hot, I just twist the throttle once, wind to compression, turn on the ignition and give it a kick. I think people tend to flood the h...

Re: 860 Old Engine periodic head re-torque ??
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...

Re: 860 Old Engine periodic head re-torque ??
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...

Re: 860gt best spark plug? Champions anyone?
Hi Craig What do you think of the projected tip versions of the same plug ? Some amongst us make great testimonial claims...like the bp6hs Cheers Kara "Solution looking for a problem"? Dunno - sorry. Others will have to respond. (I don't even know if there's enuf piston clearance ...)
