Brimbo Break Levers and Parts:

I copied this from another thread; it is should be here .... USA and Australian Refrences.

If you can buy direct from Brimbo it be less than Ducati dealership prices.

Hey Mostro, where are you at?

In Sydney, go to Gowanloch's, they would have them.

Normal levers without the dial $35 from memory. Dial levers I think are around $75.

An early reply mentioned Yoyodyne. Not so good for you; the shipping would kill the deal.

But Fred's a good source 'cause he's a Brembo dealer. So the message is, you can get a Brembo lever from a Brembo dealer for much less than you can get the same Brembo lever from a Ducati dealer (well, unless the Ducati dealer is sourcing them outside the Ducati

Cheap K&N filter source

$10.28 each and shipping is cheap in quantity.

Handguards for a Multistrada are $135ish from DP, but only $90 from KTM.

If you want to replace your mirrors with anything else that is not from Ducati, you will need to go to your closest Yamaha dealer and get a Yamaha mirror adaptor kit. It converts the 10mm left hand thread on the left mirror to a 10mm right hand thread. It also raises the right mirror to match the left mirror. It looks like this.

wheel bearings for 25mm axles  6005-2RS (25 x 47 x 12)

[the_Journeyman]

Lifted from posts/TOB.  May fit other models, not sure about that.

M750:  Fuel filter -  Autozone 3047
M750:  Oil filter - Fram 6019

Even if you don't like the brands, you can at least cross reference at an auto parts store for your brand of choice ~

Fuel pump for a 2006 620 - I was quoted $1,000.  Luckily it was replaced under warranty.

Chris Kelly of Ca Cycleworks (www.ca-cycleworks.com) has fuel pumps that are direct OEM replacement fuel pumps for $149.  "We've got dealer pricing so that shops can give out of warranty customers more realistic options."

I need to replace an injector on my 2001 900sie. I need a source. Way too expensive from Ducati.

good question.  problem is that the EFI system on that model is 100% marelli, so you are stuck buying a compatible injector (size, electrical) or changing the whole setup.

probably only option is to find a used one on ebay.

I found them cheap they are IWP043.

Thread started by meano_lover in Au 04 08; I was looking for a non OEM filter today and the auto store was totally confused; I would have gone to a Motorcycle store but there all closed on Sunday.

I switched to using the K&N simply for the welded nut on the end of it. It makes removal sooooo easy.

Here's an interesting tidbit......if you are in a crunch and on a trip somewhere and NEED a filter but cannot find one, go to the local Harley-Davidson dealer.......yes, the local Harley dealer......There are certain mid-80's Harleys that use similar filters. I use the K&N 153 on my '85 FXEF, also.

(So, if you want a chrome filter for your Duc, you can use K&N 172C)   

The differences are that the KN-153 has a 1.45 psi higher pressure relief valve and is 0.209" (6mm) longer than the KN-172C. The KN-172C also does not have an anti drain back valve (so an OEM Harley filter should have similar specs to the KN-172C). The last time I bought a filter from the HD dealer, the black one was $5-$6. I think the old 100k+ mile engine can use the higher pressure that the KN-153 supplies, though


KN-153 specs...
Product Style: Oil Filters
Height: 3.331 in (85 mm)
Outside Diameter: 3.059 in (78 mm)
Thread Inside Diameter: M16 x 1.5
PSI Relief Valve: 15.08
Anti Drain Back Valve: Yes

Weight: 0.7 lb (0.3 kg)
Product Box Length: 3.25 in (83 mm)
Product Box Width: 3.25 in (83 mm)
Product Box Height: 3.5 in (89 mm)

KN-172C specs...
Product Style: Oil Filters
Height: 3.122 in (79 mm)
Outside Diameter: 3.059 in (78 mm)
Thread Inside Diameter: M16 x 1.5

Anti Drain Back Valve: No
Style: Canister
Finish: Chrome
Weight: 0.6 lb (0.3 kg)

Do you know which Kawasaki key to use?  I stopped by the Kawasaki dealer and the person said there are 4 different types.

Psst....I think that was a joke....

[Howie]

No joke, there is a Kaw, Alfa and Fiat blank that will work.  A real lock smith should be able to hook you up.
