Hi,
I have just startet the restoration of my 250 Desmo from 74, and I hope that someone will be able to help me with following questions :
The crankshaft does not fit tigth into the bearings. With a micrometer I can measure a clearance around 0,001mm 0,002 mm - 0,0000394" - 0,000079".
Is that normal ?
The gearbox shaft and the crankshaft end flow is not correct. Its all to much and therefore I need shims in different sizes.
Where do i buy shims ?
Have anyone experience with dry clutch conversion kit ?
Best regards
Per from Denmark

Loctite makes a super-strong liquid designed to fill the voids between bearings and shafts. It works very well. The Loctite you want is called, I believe, "Stud and bearing mount."
To use it, you smear a small amount of liquid on the crankshaft journal, insert the crankshaft into the bearing (or vice versa) wait for it harden, then you're good to go.
Classic Bike magazine has advertisements for shops specializing in Ducati singles. These shops have the shims and other bits you need.
