Looks like an ideal time to get some serious cleaning of the rest of the bike done... Access all areas

at least when it's done it will be like new.

Blimey that's a bit harsh Pete, I guess there aren't many around with high mileage, but 36k isn't much, have you asked if ducati have had this issue before? what year of manufacture is your bike?

Cheers Mark.

Hi Mark,

This is genuinely a very rare thing, that has got a few mechanics scratching their heads over what could have caused it. It's been a topic of conversation all over the place!

It's a 2001 996, so the last but one year of the model.

rictus01 · 30-01-10, 09:26 PM

the only reason I asked was I'd not heard of that particular issue before was all.

2001 was still in the TPG years, Ducati was strapped for cash and changed suppliers to make savings, so suffered a fair degree of quality issues, I'm just wondering if a batch of castings was outsourced ?

worth an ask I think, still a real shame as I love that shape Ducati, I personally don't think they have ever bettered it.

Cheers Mark.

Waiting to hear what is found when the old crankcases are split, David. If it's all ok and there is no unexpected damage, then it's full steam ahead. Should hear in the next few days.

Strewth that's seriously rubbish peeps. Hope you can get it not unreasonably sorted. Kind of underlines why I could never own a duke though. (Apart from the whole feet ground thing)

Now running 2 for 2 on the duke disasters of personal aquaintence.

Tis the prettiest motorcycle ever made though.

Fingers crossed - If it isn't TL1000 lump FTW.....at least it's cold and raining out.

With that amount of play I'd be worried for the gearbox. Sure your man knows what to look for though
