Hey everyone,
So nice to be part of this nice community that i heard to so many good things about.
I am no pro mechanic but i do love to wrench on bike with the morning coffee by my side.
Looking forward learning new things and chatting with Ducati fans 

I had my seat upholsterer make up some oil cooler covers for M900's that experienced carb icing during our humid winters. I also have used neoprene fork protectors or exhaust wrap on the carb manifolds to prevent icing in the CV carbs.

morning

Thx f info, Tony!

QuoteYou can imagine the wrong modification may not let the bike warm up properly in cool weather or run too hot at certain rpm.

That`s why I haven`t dared change thermostat on my MTS although it runs too cold most of the time in Nordic climate.
Covering the cooler year round is a pretty good compromise IME.

What would you do to raise engine temp 10-15 degrees on a 1100DS, Tony?
Coolercovering a bit too much McYverish... (Pardon thread jacking)

And now Ogura joins Martin at Yamaha.

Thanks, Howie!

He's staying an extra week. He's definitely getting there. I think when he wanted to take off near the end the pigeon had flown.

They kicked me out of the cockpit, so no way of knowing...
