Me neither. I suspect that they are like a 999, but on a track. Got a 749r track bike, but that's not a 999 so cannot answer your general query. Can you be more specific and then I may be able to assist with issues that may be common to the 749/999.
i know ducatis can be tempermental but the 749/999 especially, theres a 999s race bike on ebay and ive been considering it, im guessing as there a newer than the 916 series they should be more reliable?? @RickyX are you still running lights and all the wiring on yours??
Hi sorry to hijack the post, i have recently purchased a 749 track bike just wondering if there are any problems you have come across or anything i need to do to the bike.before i take it on track pretty well sorted track bike but.gona strip it down and do belts etc before i ride just wondering if theres anything i should look for when i strip it. Many thanks
I've been running a 749 for 7 years. Only problems I've had are front coil multi plug connection failed causing an intermittent misfire. And last year the main bearings finally cried enough. Hence I'm now building a new 924 motor. To ride one one track I can honestly say. It's fantastic! I found the std forks were way too stiff. A good option is to fit 1098 Showa's and radial calipers. This transformed my bikes front end feel and grip. It's taken me a while to get it the be stable and still turn in nicely. But now I have a cracking little bike which gives the litre race rep Heroes a bloody hard time.
Or put a 999s motor in 748 frame its what im running and to be honest im loving it. It cant keep up with the modern day litre missiles in a straight line but in the corners she holds a line brilliantly. The biggest thing for me though whenever I get on track is the grin factor second to none.
Looks good. But for that loot I think I'd hold out for a 1098 trackbike...Unless you really like the 'look' :tonguewink:
Parts list for the later S shows radial brakes. Not famliar enough for the 999 family to be sure though. Andy
