Hi Folks I was going out today for a blast with my new exhaust and ecu remap thanks "chrisw" wound over once then kicked out just clicking. removed the left fairing to investigate and found the starter solenoid connection from the battery was really corroded tried to undo and the damn thing snapped of only using 1/4 drive socket where is the best place to get a replacement also while i am here what other bits can i check /grease/clean/replace. in this area so i don't have similar in the future already done the 2 small relays after advice from chrisw thanks
Its worth checking the earth connection too then while the fairings off... If you can its an opportunity to add a secondary earth wire too.. Helps with the cranking on start up..... I'd unclip all the connections too, clean them up a bit & ACF everything to protect em in future.
Hi Hutch whats acf mean ? i read on an earlier post about a company who does the uprated leads is this a worthwhile investment
This stuff below mate... Expensive but the best protection you can buy. ACF-50/ACF 50 Anti Corrosion Protection Spray - Motorcycle/Bike/Scooter/Caravan | eBay I'd guess it depends how bad a state your wiring is at the moment mate... If its beyond cleaning up then a new loom may be the answer... Pay attention to the regulator connections too btw.. Its under the battery behind the ECU & corroded pins will lead to a short life on the reg rec
thanks only slightly obvious eh to early trust me to brake it on the bank holiday nice day as well just have to sit on it and pretend
Not at all mate.. Anyway... Patch up that earth whack the fairing back on... Too nice a day to pretend!!
thanks a 1 can on its way i also think i have to invest in a centre stand. like the abba one it will make life a lot easier
still trying to solve my solenoid issue there is a new one in scotland just found it on fleabay £45 notes
i live at the bottom of a dip could possibly get it up but would not have the energy to get my leg over yes that would make life easier. the 848 looks very nice clean lines. have you an all in one rear light can't see indicators
848 rear vent indicators | Ducati Forum Thread above should help... I originally went with LED then changed to the standard indicators in there.
45 sounds a bit pricey for the solenoid tbh. Try your dealer tomorrow... ...........stand corrected. 45 quid is a decent price
