Newbie & First Ducati

Discussion in 'Newbies Hangout' started by Mark Bruce, Nov 9, 2021.

  1. Hi everyone. Having been a Harley Davidson fan for the last 10 years and Jap sports bikes before that. I took the plunge and bought my first Ducati to my friend's delight a month ago.
    It is a 1997 ST2, has 59K miles on the clock, but fitted with a reconditioned engine. To my delight I find myself taking every opportunity to get out on it. Love it. Yes it has some issues, but I am fixing them as I see them. It was supposed to be a winter project, but I'm loath to start anything just now that would risk it being taken off the road.
    I've done a couple of jobs to date, one of which was upgrading the starting circuit wiring to 16mm2 110A cabling. What a remarkable difference. Looking to change the oil next, but need to see if I can find any info on how old the recon engine is. More on that later. IMG_2459.jpg
