696 rebuild - on the road & stage 2

[Raux]

Love the exhausts mate - reminds me of two stroke GP bikes with unequal length expansion chambers

appreciate the kind words.

[Raux]

Flywheel arrived - Holy crap this thing is light.

[Raux]

wellllll FINALLY back in the shop for some motor upgrades and maintenance

valve check and adjustment
1100 cams
lightweight flywheel
Hypermotard 1100S starter gear (drilled for lightness from the factory)
ergal cam gears
oil change
G2 Throttle tamer
complete the install of the PC V
hope my LED signals get in tomorrow, but not holding my breath
oh and found some pin holes in the welds on the 2 into 2 pipes so gonna fix those. might fix that cel error i was getting with no db killers.

Thinking of painted the valve inspection covers and cam covers red... what do you think?
like this photoshop

G2 Throttle tamer

Thinking of painted the valve inspection covers and cam covers red...

Tamer no 

Red covers yes 

[Nottsbiker]

Maybe use some red wrinkle paint like is used on Honda Type-R rocker covers 

[Raux]

since the covers are actually plastic. I found some paint made for it. gloss red and put about 3 coats of gloss clear to help protect the front ones.

[Nottsbiker]

Sorry I thought they'd be made out of cast iron like on my uber modern 900

nope, weigh nothing too.

[ungeheuer]

red valve gear covers etc look good 

[Raux]

Frikin eh
horizpntl cam cover is toast
the cam gear nuts were a pregnant dog and trying to hold the cam bnt the cm cove and shattered the inner inspection hole

oh and in case your wondering 1100 cam covers are not the same size onside
so now i have to nother cam cover i had and paint it an hope the dage it has is minor enough to use

Vert valves openers were loose so fixed that. closers were good
horiz closers are too tight so gotta get tthose change then get the openers

pc v is on. the way they want you to run the harnes is ass backwards so i ran it the other side.  yep cables too short so had to extend one and geound at the battsry instead

Valves covers are painted and look hot. cam covers will be later

Flywheel needs to be done next

ugh forgot the frustration

[Raux]

Fixed the horizontal cam cover. dremel is your friend.

flywheel is in (pregnant dog of a time)
same with the ergal cam gears.
those high tq nuts are a PAIN. Ducati specific tools are your friend too (needless to say

oh, have an 1100 compatible lighteweight starter gear available. thought it was compatible but wasn't.

bike is mostly back together just need to finish the horizontal valves. button those up, adjust the belt, and cover, tighten up the front exhaust... and pray all is right. OH and put in oil.. almost forgot myself 

then hit start. 

check all the settings. and see how the lightweight motor changes and PCV make a difference.

[Raux]

alright all back together. but with issues.

posted in tech since this might affect others.

Raux, I don't want to tread jack but I have a quick question;
Do you know if you can remove the bolt between the Trellis and the subframe while the bike is still on it's wheels?
I'm planning on anodize the bolt black or replace it with the item from the new Monster Diesel.
Since you are the only one I know of who took apart the frame I thought I'd ask you.
Thanks!

it is a cover screw designed lock in the position of the fram bolt

just unscrew it
if it was over tq'd you may end up back the frame bolt a bit don't panic

[rozer]

Many thanks for the quick info.
