Hey there! I picked up a left over package cans/chip/K&N from my dealer at a price I couldn't refuse... My experience with FbF chips on my old ST2 is that they...
I should pay more attention. I removed my wheels and took them in to have tires fitted. As it happened, I need rear bearings too, but they're in now. My...
It is typical for the hub to feel like it doesn't fully seat. I have seen the same hub seating issue on all Ducatis with the dual-sided swingarms. It doesn't...
The Ferracci chip for the Gran Canyon is worthwhile. I can't claim that there is any big power difference, but throttle response is greatly improved, the...

I checked the gap on my GC and it's ~ 1mm, and I don't see any "wobble". If you don't have a uniform gap, then the sprocket would wobble (it could also be...
I am looking for a set of the Ferracci carbon fiber mufflers and possible the chip. Hoping to find a set of used cans that somebody was not happy with. Brian ...
Sorry to be confusing. My post was a tired and late one. I may have misused the term wobble and runout. I'm referring to the way a warped brake rotor would...
Thanks for checking. My gap is more than 1mm, but I'm glad to hear that it doesn't fit tight. Gives me a little less anxiety. Now I just have to make sure...
I know in the past I had read about the alternator / regulator wiring harnesses running hot and catching fire. So when my charging system stopped working I...
OK, the bike is back together and all seems to be OK. I tapped the bearing on the sprocket side in a little further (just to make it flush as the original...
The FBF chip... My .02 worth.. I bought the chip when I purchased the bike.. Hated it. It made the bike run very rich on the low end and have very sluggish off...
Glad things are getting worked out. Still, you shouldn't be able to notice any wobble to the cush drive. Like a previous post said, use some silicon as a lube...
Wow JB, I'm surprised at how diferently our Gran Canyons reacted to the Ferracci chip. Stock, my engine had this very dry feel. If you opened the throttle it...

I also went w/ the FBF chip + Remus cans. The main difference was the occasional stumble that used to occur around 3900 RPM now rarely happens. I ride @ all...
My GC has developed an oil leak somewhere around the countershaft sprocket. There's quite a bit of buildup under the plastic sprocket cover which I'll need to...
Are you sure that it is oil? When the slave starts to leak that is where you see it. Check to see if it is brake fluid. I just replaced my slave a couple of...
My slave started to leak last weekend and I ordered slave from the Evo( I got in on ebay). Anyway.I am bleeding that sucker for almost 2 hours now. Doesn't ...
I had my local Ducati dealer put mine on because I didn't want to deal with bleeding the system. They used a bleeder that is hooked up to compressed air -...
I removed the slave cylinder and front sprocket cover and thoroughly cleaned the offending area. Then fired it up and watched for the source of the leak. Ran...
You shouldn't be getting any blow-by in the breather. It can happen, but tends to do that with modified engines at high rpm or an overfilled crankcase. The...
The key to bleeding a purged system is to fully seat the piston and fill the slave cylinder with fluid prior to installing the banjo bolt. Once it is bled,...
Just last weekend I replaced mine. I followed LT's insructions and had it done in about twenty minutes without a bit of air in the system. Just got home from...
Are you just talking about the grip or the whole plastic throttle sleeve? The grip secures against the left side of the throttle sleeve with a lip. If the...
It was the plastic sleeve rubbing on the bar end. There was a lip on the end, then another 1/8" sticking out. I took a razor knife and cut it flush to the...
If the entire sleeve moved out, then there might be something wrong. The sleeve is trapped by the plastic haves surrounding it, and the clamp pieces fit into a...
I have had the same problem and the answer is simple although it took me a couple of days to figure out. Release the bar end screw pull the bar end out a bit...
I'm certain there are differences in the rich/lean of the stock bikes. I know the chip has worked well for lots of folks but it was way rich for me. Mine stock...
I bought mine right from Evo and it came with an extra bleeder for the top. But I didn't use it. I used a vacuum bleeder on the slave and was done in about 5...
The GC needs new shoes, and I have a few new 160-70/17 tires on the shelf for my ST1100. (Street tires, but that's okay for this set as I'll just be on-road...
