Any chance it could be the solenoid box circled? I checked the fuses inside but didn't reset the leads. Any suggestions on how to go about testing this circuit and the starter with a meter?

Here we go again... Just got Francesca back together after sourcing new vertical downpipe and a bunch of other loose ends. One of the updates was an upgraded starter and grounding wire kit. Had a lot of trouble getting the stupid nut off the starter lead wire to replace it. When I went to...

I have a lot of Filipino friends. We were on a vacation and I noticed my friend wasn't getting bit by the mosquitos. He and his wife said it was some genetical thing where Filipino (maybe Asian in general) have some sort of natural immunity to mosquitos. Not 100%, but common. Can they bottle...

Damn if I didn't just get "M.A.E." screen today. Check my new thread coming soon...

WTF?! This sounds like the "bug juice" stories my dad told from his Navy days. Deet is some nasty ****. I was in a military training exercise and the mosquitos swarmed at sunset. Like biblical swarm. The instructors handed out these green issue bottles that just said "INSECT REPELLANT" on...

I probably would have tried the Kaoko if they had made one for the Hyper. But, tried one on a friends bike once and I just didn't like the operation of rolling hand movements to lock the throttle. It's actually a pretty well crafted piece of kit. The fiddling is just a cost of producing...

"M.A.E" is a first for me. Try searching ducati.ms Would definitely consider getting it scanned by an authorized tech.

Hyper's fart when they sleep. It thinks it's human.

Those grips look great but non-throttle diameter was too big. Constantly slipped. Tried all kinds of shims and adhesives. I just got those cheapo MX comfort grips that everyone raves about and they really are amazing.

The Atlas is good but takes a little patience and tweaking. The very tiny hex bolt that comes with it strips easy. With my grips and where I seated it I had to dog the clamp down tight and that little bolt was toast. I added a phillips/ socket head bolt that held up much better. You also...

We had a recent thread on this. Most of us just hit it with some wax or polish. I did some regular creme wax and it looked brand new.

Not very well hidden if some sort of anti-theft. Did you try starting with the switch in both positions?

I get mid to low 30's on average. That's a combination of always ripping through low gears and sustained 80-90 mph highway. I don't have speed limits on my commute. I squeezed 170 miles on a max range test when bike was fairly new (no mods). Was barely getting 90 before low fuel light...

My dealer fitted tender plug and ran it out the rear spring area under seat. Pretty simple and I would recommend it over trying the powerlet port.

And he only does business through facebook?

Do you mean you have a "misfire" at 5K - like the engine/fuel cuts out briefly? If yes, I had this for years at 8K rpm in 2nd gear under full throttle, specifically. Never found the source but oddly enough, was gone on the last 1K miles it was running. Before this, I replaced the top cylinder...

Tim, how long did it take to receive the product? My bike is broken down to this level right now.

The spring they use in the factory system complicates a lot of things. Most aftermarket rearsets ditch the big return spring on the foot lever and it makes things much easier to R/R and adjust

Ya, disconnecting the battery at the start of even minor maintenance is a great habit. Like rebooting your phone or pc. Helps rule out dumb **** most of the time.

first time this happened to me a nice motorists warned me at a stop light. I was grateful and troubleshot immediately. Feel good road story of the day.
