Sv is gone but new bike bought within 3 hours.

nah no rain but it has been sitting in the previous owners garage for some time.
I'm sure i'll figure something out

they all sound like tractors thats part of the charm

Hmmm... Did it come from shop or private sale?
Mine don't die if i take it out in the rain.. usually won't go after it has been

Has your Duke got the right chip fitted for the Zorst? All of them are supposed to come with a chip to stop them running lean with the new pipes fitted. With them being EFI management I would not be tweaking idle etc till i found out a few things about why it aint running right

Not sure about the clutch/box on the 749/999 but it's smooth as silk on the 748, whack it right through the box without the clutch no probs.. think yours should be the same, When was the oil last changed, and was it good stuff put back in?

748 pulls 120 in 4th no probs (Crail strip Of course) Think you have some serious issues with it if it's not going past that. They dont seem that fast compaired to the SV till you get it past 6-7k Rpm.. it should go like brown stuff off a shovel from that point till the red line in every gear

2 Sites of interest for you.. Ducati up north, and Ducati sporting club. Good for info and technical.

HTH.

Just been reading up and it seems the stalling is a very common problem. The exhaust is just a can so the cat is still fitted unlike when you fit termignoni's and the instructions state that there are no adjustments needed to the fueling so its still on the stock ecu. The racefit exhaust is fooked anyway most of the rivets have been rattled out and its blowing so its staying off for the mo.

looking on the duke forums it seems my throttle bodies need syncronised and the idle defo needs to go up. I have no ecu light on the dash so its not that big a problem it just is in desperate need of a service.

Its 1000miles over due the big service which includes the belts so i think i'll be getting that done asap!!!!


edit... it was a private sale and it was cheeeeeeeep

That's a gorgeous bike, hope you get it sorted.

Good God man, you have purchased a Stealth Fighter!

Who cares if it doesn't work, just look at it!

I see a bike going POP!!! Please don't service it yourself you'll never get rid of it... Ducatis need proper servicing!!!

Service or not to service...ahh that's the question! Options:

1:Take it to Ducati Glasgow - probably looking at £700 but it'll have the wee stamp every magazine tells you you need.

2o it youself, hey it's a motorbike and not really that difficult. Worst happens and it blows up in 3 years time, well the £££££'s you saved over the period in rip off servicing will more than buy a new engine. That's the way i look at it. But people from the 'where's the service history mantra' will run a mile!

PS - nice bike, never bloody catch you a Knockhill now....even if I do dust down the old 748 in the garage!
