Hi to everyone!
I just bought my Ducati last Sunday and am excited to be back on a bike after a couple of years away from riding.
Currently the bike is here in my lounge since a lack of garage or shed makes this a necessity. Still its not all bad - this bike is beautiful to look at! Its also bloody freezing here, so fiddling about and cleaning is definitely preferable inside in the warm...
Its a 2002, and the previous owner has done a few mods to the engine • Engine: Hi-comp JE pistons (11.1), • Ported heads (stock valves), • VeeTwo cams, • MPB collets, • Kämna Alu flywheel, • Stock W-M 5.9 ECU with adapted map, • Wide-ratio gearbox from ST2 (apparently much better for road use???), • All ball and roller bearings new less than 37000 km. • Dyno print out shows just under 90BHP.
Feedback from previous owner is that the engine tuning work was done at about 20k miles. All the rolling bearings (crank and g/box shafts) also replaced at 30k mile as a precaution.
Bike: standard suspension apart from linear 8.2N/mm fork springs and newly serviced fork (seals, oil), custom CNC billet 7075 triple clamps, Apex adjustable clip-ons, custom 2-1 exhaust with Silmotor slip-on, custom rear-sets, opened-up airbox lid with washable filter, almost new Bridgestone S20´s front and rear (a couple of track days use, the road section is almost unused), recent chain and sprockets.
I plan to put it on the road in spring, and probably take a couple of weeks touring in Europe this summer.
Apart from the cam belts, anything that I should get changed or checked, pronto? Any info always appreciated as I have never owned a Ducati until now.
Previous bikes GT185 / X7 / RD400 / FZ600 / NX650 / T120 / T160.
