So guys.. before buying nwe injector I decided to try some injector cleaner.. So I put my bike back together... My injector has been 2 days in brake cleaner... when I start it up it sounds great.. i was for a test ride and it pulls like before... [bow_down]  .. really happy about it...  now I can   [Dolph] [Dolph] [Dolph] ... preventively I will use valvoline injector cleaner to fuel... thanks a lot for your help

mr.freezer

of course... changed fule filter, spark plugs too..

mr.freezer

today gonna do TPS reset & synchro... will see the result..

mr.freezer

so TPS reset done... "0" was on the right place.. but throtle body was set to 1,8°.. so I set it to 2,7°.. going for a test ride... will see..

mr.freezer

so nothing new... monster still does the trouble... to 4500 rpm it pulls normaly.. but than it lost power and start shooting to exhaust... spark plugs white..

It would seem a too lean condition, from your comment "spark plugs white" . . . do you have a performance air filter? do you have performance exhaust? if so, try setting your trim around 23 . . .

For setting your TBs, did you follow this procedure, http://www.bikeboy.org/ducati2vthrottleb.html ?

Why am I asking you this? I have been there, in the same situation as you . . . long time ago

original filter... termignoni slipons... before worked well with these.. yes.. I followed that procedure... how did you solve that situation??

Again, what is your trim setting? with OEM filter and Termis, you are "letting go" too much air and not letting enough in, but, your popping is from a lean condition, you need to check your trim setting and if you get/have access to an exhaust gas analyzer, your CO should be at or around 3.5%~4.5%; you have to check each cylinder individually and then set a 'compromise setting', that's how I solved it . .  trim set at 23 and CO@4.0%

now, how old/dirty is the air filter? do you have the 'open top' airbox?

I sent you a link to a tool, have taken a look at it? You need such a tool if you want to work on your bike yourself.

bring the trim to 23 . . . you can always take it back . . .
Why, because of this statement,

it pulls to 4500Rpm OK and then looses power and has 'white plugs' like the one in the image?

' . . . that is lean; but, shooting through the exhaust would "tell" is too rich !!! and that it's burning "not burned AF mixture within the exhaust" . . . ???

now, check all exhaust pipes connections for them to be tight

mr.freezer

so will set it to 23 tommorow... and check the exhaust... will post the result... thanks a lot..

mr.freezer

exhaust connections tight.... trim set to 23...cleaned gas tank, fuel pump... checke all of the fuel hoses.. nothing helped... always loosing power and shooting to exhausts...
