Title: Hello From Cali/Riverside Post by: Calbuild on June 21, 2015, 01:08:57 PM Hello
My name is Guy Proud Pilot of a 99 Yellow 748 Got it from the legal dept at the studios It is "the" bike Seth Green rode (and dumped) in the movie The Italian Job. As close as I will get to being famous...Lol...My little movie star.... Dirt bikes 40 yr vet Water rides 10 yrs ATV GLAMIS Hound 15 years sands on I am currently living in Riverside, used to live in Hollywood where I got vested and later relinquished, nice group but the leaders had issues.... Initial reason for signing up here is I am trying to find a qualified Ducati tech in or close to the area to assist with a current issue I have with some seals a and an oily clutch issue. Running a ducabike slipper clutch. Trying to find an exploded view of the components and the sequence. It works fine but I am getting a flow of oil out of the basket and drips down to my pipe and causes a nice cloud of embarrassment.... I have opened twice to explore source of leak All seems to be in order I did notice when clutch plates are out that the Clutch Housing that bolts to the Clutch/Crank gear move in and out about 3/16" / 3mm Is it supposed too? Spoke with a guy he said his does, it just seems like that much movement would have an effect on the oil seal. While inspecting I run the bike with out the plates to see where the oil is coming from. Of course I get oil out the center of the clutch rod so I plug that up and get to operating temp, and I look for seepage. I see none..... I suspect the Ring on the clutch side cover however it does not leak while test running. I also cannot operate the clutch with out the Rod installed... I have the thought that when the clutch lever is pulled and the assembly moves out the 3/16/3mm that it will allow seepage.. I think I can put the the parts back in, less the plates and maybe get a visual of the drum & housing working and maybe be able to use the lever to see if I get any oil action. 2 things today 1. feel free to steer me in the right direction 2. Any real Ducati techs in the 909 or 951 ? Hating life cause I cant ride.... Thank you All the best Guy (http://i.imgur.com/Lxp14Hm.jpg) (http://i.imgur.com/1ovvIJS.jpg) Title: Re: Hello From Cali/Riverside Post by: Dirty Duc on June 21, 2015, 01:40:36 PM Welcome!
