Garage day for me. 4.10 rear end gears aren't enough. Time for some 5.38s

Good morning

morning

New track record for an OEM American car, and 3rd fastest ever. Amazing lap!

Cheers.
Yes I like the old hinged tank. Changing the battery on the Evo is a pita. I think it's about 25 bolts in total to remove the fuel cell and the battery is underneath that. Imagine if there was a battery short causing a fire! You just wouldn't make it in time. Just wheel it onto the street and call the fire brigade.

      

Just tried cycling the ignition three times again in the vain hope that it might work this time and, amazingly, it did! The bike is idling perfectly. I'll take it out for a decent ride today and hopefully it stays that way. Thanks again for the advice.

Thanks for the info and suggestions. There is a Ducati guru not far from me, Ron Young, who has an engineering shop and a long history of working almost exclusively on Ducatis. I haven't been able to contact him yet but if anyone can help me I'm sure it'll be him.
I long for my old M900 when it comes to accessing the area under the fuel tank. Removing the tank on the 1100 is an absolute pain whereas the 900 was like lifting the hood on a car - unclip the front latch and prop it up on the built-in strut. Genius!

Welcome 

That 70 jet is the starter/choke/enrichening circuit jet. The pilot jet is in the recess up into the jet block. It's a skinny little thing. They can easily get blocked as do the passageways.
They will probably be 42's. If you get plug fouling you can try 40's.
I've used as low as 37.5's in some 750/900's but only on occasion.
Use 14mm float height.


As a left field suggestion, don't discount the rear coil or too much resistance over the coil, plug and plug cap. In theory that would be 15k Ohms, each being 5k Ohm rated. However, if each item is closer to 6-7, then you could be closer to 19-20. This means using non resistor plug caps or non resistor plugs, but not both. So in summary, if each item is on the high acceptable range of resistance then the combined amount is getting too much under certain conditions. I go for a non resistor cap if needed.

If the plug fires at idle much better when you pull it off and have a 5-10mm gap to the top of the plug you'll know it's ignition and not fuel. Wear some thick gloves so you aren't Earth.

You're basically creating a capacitive discharge system test.
Howie will explain it better.
