Hello fellow Ducati riders and others like me (wanting and learning). I have been riding for 40+ yrs, raced dirt for a few years here in the North California...
Welcome Wermut! May I suggest that you also sign up at www.ducati.ms ? There is a very active SportClassic section and tons of good information, great...
My 2006 Sport was missing the valve springs and my dealer said it wasn't covered under warranty... I'll never buy another ducati again! Welcome aboard! And I...
My neighbor bought a new 07 Sportclassic after the recall, still left him dead in the water because the dealer didn't fix it before the sale. Be careful. ...
Well I have been looking at exhaust systems for a while now and just pulled the trigger. I ordered the full Arrow system from Gear Italia. But wait I am not...
Less popping, more HP? Not sure what you mean - coating the system will have no effect on those things. It should be done primarily for aesthetics, corrosion...
The Arrow slip fits are very snug. I couldn¹t get mine together without the lube they supplied. Make sure the coaters don¹t coat the inside of the outer...
It is my impression that Ducati is aware of these issues and for most of those problems, if you contact the main ducati office they will be able to direct your...
Dave; What I mean by less popping or more hp is this. Popping is caused by too much raw fuel left in you pipe on decel. What I have been told by the Hot Roding...
Hi Paul I don¹t have the Arrow system on my PS, but on my Multistrada. I bought the MTS and had the Termi cans put on right away. I wasn¹t happy with the...
All I can tell you is my Zard, still pops ( a lot). I doubt any gains due to gases flowing faster from the coating would ever be realized or measurable. At...
I believe you can only get rid of the popping using a Power Commander to tune the bike and make sure no unburned fuel is being burned in the exhaust. My bike...
Hi Paul, Mixtures that are too rich run denser and cooler and won't ignite until they hit all the air, causing soot at the end of the can - and even flames...
I have a Shark 2 into 1 pipe I'm going to be changing out in a few weeks for a different one that will fit my track plastics better. Any interest at say $500...
It came with an ECU which I'm keeping since its already mated with my bike. I think you can use it without a new one but a DP ECU will allow for better tuning....
OK folks, the Shark pipe is officially available. I've swapped it out with my new pipe and it's boxed and ready to go. Sound bites and pics are linked below. ...
Marty, Very nice looking pipe. What brand of wheels do have have on your bike? Are those a direct replacement? Cost? Wayne ________________________________ ...
Thanks Wayne - Those are stock 999 wheels I bought from a builder in Canada who had put them on a customer's bike once before. The customer was ordered by his...
Hello everybody, I have just brought a Ducati Paul Smart 1000 brand new two months ago. And I noticed that there is a problems on both my front forks. When I ...
Hightail it back to the dealer and get that fixed. It¹s the first I¹ve heard of that particular problem. Alec ... Re: [Ducati-sportclassic] Front Fork...
Well, guys..... I took my bike to the dealer in San Fancisco a month ago had them check out. They agreed that the play on the forks "MAYBE" too much and since...
Sorry for the off-topic post but it is bike related... A friend of mine is selling his stunning and totally tricked out 2006 Triumph Speed Triple for a pretty...
Hello everybody, I have just purchased a brand new Shark exhaust 2 into 1 full system from eBay. It comes with the head pipes, exhaust, Ducati performance ...
