Has anyone experienced this? I have a 2011 Ducati 848 evo with 4042 Kph and was riding and then engine knocking. Wasn’t dogging it, was under 6 grand on tachometer? Any info would be greatly appreciated and if anyone is selling a 848 engine let me know. Dealership wants 10 grand for a new one
And welcome Dave. introduce yourself properly in the newbies section whydoncha PS. You do realise this is a UK based site so buying an engine could be a tad difficult
Dude total bummer. I have the same bike. Check on eBay for motors. They are usually around $1200. I am planning on picking one up and having it blueprinted by the Ducshop.
Man, if you were doing 4042 kph (2500mph) its no wonder she gave up. (848's were faster than I thunk)
Hahaha on I see what I did wrong. I don’t know the abbreviation for kilometers. Sry I’m American we use miles here
Are you the original owner of the bike? That's incredible the bike only has 4k km on it! As for blueprinting, it basically means to make sure the engine components are within the designed specifications to ensure maximum performance and reliability.
Errr, ‘dogging’ has a slightly different meaning in English. Really though, that’s unusual and v strange a 4000km engine should should suffer a major failure. What caused it (apart from you dogging, or not, it)? Valve smashed into the piston? Small end bearings gone? Big end bearings gone? How do you know what’s happened to it? and finally, for now, why’s it in Km when, as you say, you have miles in the US?
