  7. Hello everybody,
    The bike is done i make aprox 120km on weekend whitout any problems and oil flowing :) The power is ok but i think i will change the sporckets because nearly immpossible to drive with her in the city. 1 thing which is not ok for me that sometimes the first indicator from left is still on but if i switch off and on a ignition 3-4 times its dissapear.
    Do you know anybody that at the dcati dealer its possible to check the timing thru service connector or beeter to check alone at home?Because i heard that if the timing is in wrong place even only 1 theet that you cant realize only the bike power will be little bit lower.

  8. I cant speak for ducati. but being ex suzuki the fuel injection maps / ignition advance were dependent on the gear position.

    if ducati is the same and your gear position sensor is faulty then perhaps your Fi may be using an incorrect fuel map / ingition curve.

    im sure someone will chime in with the finer point of the ducati to which im not sure...

  13. Hi,
    Yeah probably i will put it in my garage till i dont need from it some spare part. I just will try spark plugs from BRISK i heard that are really good. Please if anybody know which are the best timing belts on a market and where can i ordere please let me know.
    Thanks in advance

  14. most seem to strongly suggest sticking with genuine ducati belts only

  15. I know one supplier GATES but on they catalog i cant find for the Ducati. They belts are on a very high level i know because we use to order from them for ATVs.MAybe the quickiest way will be the original from Ducati.
