Hi. I want more power in my M900  but I'm not sure what to do. I'v been looking at the track pack here http://www.jctcycles.com/ducati_parts What will this kit do regarding horsepower/torque on my bike? I have custum 2 - 1 exhaust. Sent an e-mail to JCT, but they dont respond.... Any good/bad experiences with JCT here? Any other suggestions? Wiktor Norway (excuse my English  ) |

No experience with that company.
Why not buy all those parts from our sponsor ca-cycleworks? I'm pretty sure they sell all those items, and they're a first class outfit.

Hey Wiktor
That full kit would be good.
Does your bike have W or V stamped heads?
+1 on using our sponsors.

Look on the front head on the left hand side near the exhaust valve cover. Look for a "V" or "W" inscribed there. The details about this are on bikeboy.org topic "900 engines, not all created equal".

Shorten the intake between the carb and the motor is another way to have more top end. A clutch and Nichols flyweel to put less stress on the crank can also be an option .... before opening the heads. I have those ca-cyclewoks coils there great  |

Shortening the intakes is a good way to gain top end but you lose bottom end. Not my first choice. No replacement for displacement like my Pappy always said.
If I had access to the right equipment and materials, I'd try a mini tunnel ram like the old hot rods used to use.

I have dealt with jct. Products are the same/similar. Decent communication. But not so good with tech advice IME. If done again I woulda saved a bit more and went with CCW

The suspense of finding out which heads he has is killing me, lol.
++++1 on CCW. Chris will let you bend his ear for tech support and advice after the sale, and is very helpful.

Koko 64. Suspect that I have the bad heads. Im offshore and wount find out for a week... Thx memper, im going with ccw ducatigirl100. I'm a sucker for lowend torque so I'm keeping my intakes. Nichols flyweel on the other hand sounds interesting GRUBBY: Mini tunnel ram, as in forcing air into the carbs? |

I have dealt with both JCT an CA-Cycleworks both are very good but JCT doesn't responded to emails! JCT do the JE pistons cheaper but CA-Cycleworks will do a good deal if you mention this fact.
Go CA-Cycleworks, better commuication and they also sent me a free pack of M&M's plus a nice pen and sticker!
