ST2=200,000k(parks next to the M800)

[auntymal]

...pleased to report, after a quick run to catch up with the "Black Doggers", out Condo' way and a loop through Gloucester, Nabiac, thence home to Newy, the ole' ST2 clocked up 200,000k. Next time someone starts rubbishing Ducati reliability.......

Brilliant. Well done.

Its amazing how many people wont consider buying a bike with over 30K on the clock when they are capable of this.

.......even 100,000k is still "only" 60,000 mile.....and if it's water cooled, gets 5000k oil changes, warm ups, and is not revved into the twilight zone on every gear change, (i.e. it's not a race engine), it 'should' outlive its rider..... It's on its fourth chain, it's second clutch, replaced @ 140,000k due to the basket wearing out completely, it was however, still not slipping.....new 'second hand' basket and a set of std plates, and on we go......original unit sent back to the factory.

how many regulators?

Awesome!

Makes me glad to know I have many, many, many great years ahead with my Lucia!

2x regulators, 1x stator, fixed the reg' issue by removing a small part of the fairing allowing much much greater airflow over the unit problem fixed, my electrical guru said the unit was a little small for the job, increasing the airflow made it "think" it was bigger and presto, amazing, no?

200,000k

If you haven't already done it,next belt change,replace the idler and tensioner bearing,4 off
They spin very fast as they are smaller in diameter, even if they feel good with 200k on them, your only relying on the grease packed in them from new
If one ceases it can be very catastrophic.

Goodonya Aunty, there is now hope for my little ST4 which only has 49600 on its second clutch (plates only) so here's hoping that the 4v is as reliable as the 2v.

   I notice the DA VANTI sticker on your bike and wondered if there was any connection with these beauties I saw down at Phillip Island  ?
