Carlos. How light is your throttle? This 620throttle is too light.
I put a heavier throttle spring in as it was too soft and easily bumped by the rider. This one is the LHD I told you about. Couldn't find a stronger spring so I modified the spring to make the twist feel more like a flatslide carb.  I cut and reshaped it. Now the rider can play with the controls with one hand and not upset the throttle.  He controls everything simultaneously! Amazing how humans adapt. I noticed the throttle cam only likes a low torque setting or it binds the throttle.  Must only be 10-15ft/lb max. I used Loctite to stop it falling off.
It's nearly finished. I'll post some pics when its all finished if the owner is ok with that.

Hyper are naughty bikes!

that question is sort of hard to answer . . . before Throttle Tamer . . . NO control and I would be sliding in turns . . . after Throttle Tamer, I can give gas right when I hit the apex and/or correct IN the turn without any surprises . . . AFter I installed the Electraeon cam, everything is "sort of the same" but, everything happens a little faster, still can control throttle, but from 0-100 is about 30%~50% faster . . .

feel was always a "little heavy" . . I kept lubing the cable weekly and all pivots too . . .

Thanks Carlos. This one is a learner bike, maybe they changed it and went too far.


My wife likes the hyper passenger seat the best of all the Ducatis. I think I see one in our future as a bike to take on holidays in the ute. I would use it as a dual sport bike with dual sport tyres, backing off the suspension, etc.

A 2003 model in immaculate condition. One owner with full service history and fastidiously maintained. Best I've seen.

Greetings!

This morning, both my daughter's teams won their basketball Grand Finals!

Both daughters played very well!

Parents very proud!

LMT,

Whist at the basketball this morning, I saw this picture at the coffee van. I thought it looked familiar!  



Cheers!

Sorry about the orientation. I've fixed it, saved it and reloaded it and it won't play nice. Perhaps from your hemisphere it might look the right way up! LOL!
