Ducati just released a brand new Super Leggera model called the Centenario that celebrates Ducati's 100 year anniversary. Only 500 will be produced. Lots of details and lots of horse power and probably lots of dollars.

Any guesses that he's waiting at the door?

Shit flows downhill, pay day is Thursday.

Morning.

Is it difficult to use a call box at an apartment or condo building? A "veteran guy" is back out to do the water heater service today. Found him wandering in my hallway.  "I couldn't figure out the call box, some nice girls let me in..."     

Good morning

The next step is to pull the cylinder head to see what's happening inside.

Regarding the spark plugs: I went to AutoZone, and they recommended the NGK DCPR8E based on my bike's year, make, and model. Previously, I was running Champion RA6HC. Do you think the cross-reference could be the issue? I suspect a piece of the broken plug may have dropped into the cylinder and caused the obstruction/damage.

He already did that Jerry, and the belt is intact.

There's no way around it.
