So if I don't care about the check engine light being on all the time, there's no problems running with the sensors disconnected all the time at all speeds? My bike started surging badly when the weather warmed up, and yesterday the engine light came on and I lost power (engine would still idle)...

I knew about that, presumably because of the difference between what's in (or not) each leg. Did you notice any difference after you put the correct amount in?

Thanks. I'm at 18000 kms on the completely stock setup so I'll give that a try. I want to put off a full rebuild for when I upgrade the forks. The oil that seeped out looked practically new, so I'm pretty sure it's still fine.

My right fork leg seal was leaking, which I managed to stop by using a homemade Seal Mate. In the process of pulling out the dirt from the seal, a LOT of fork oil seeped out. That's in addition to what's been dripping out since I bought it, as well as when the previous owner stored it (seems to...

Did you ever figure out what the problem was? My clutch was fine during the spring, but once the temperatures got over 20 C, it started doing exactly what you describe, but is fairly consistent. Basically sounds like what everyone with 13/14 models are complaining about.

A seal that has failed at 15,000 kms. My 998 is still in the original seals at over 50,000. Plus you should see the video. They are NOT all the same. And I would never put anything from All Balls on my own bike.

How frustrating. Third attempt to post this, so I'll make it the short version. Anyone with a 2013-2018 North American non-SP Hyper* replaced their fork seals with SKF can confirm which kit you used? They should all be the same part number according to Ducati but SKF thinks otherwise and can't...

I'm looking at a used R&G tail tidy, but am told it only fits the Hypermotard. There is apparently a different version for the Strada. Can anyone explain why, if the only difference is the side bag mount?

And now my rear reflector under the license plate has partially fallen out. Those clips seem to leave too much free play and the reflectors are all rattling. Never noticed until I went back to the stock exhaust. Is there a way to remove the clips to space out the tangs a bit further for a more...

No, but most manufacturers IMPROVE their reliability and build quality over the years.

Well, the washers on my 998's heat shield have lasted 17 years without failing. They are part number 85210721A (green) instead of 85210721B (black). Of course, they're 3x more expensive, which could be an indication of their durability. There's a reason why modern Ducati's are so cheap these...

I've been told you can tell by the sticker on the swingarm whether it's regular or low if you're trying to identify one in person.

Just had a washer disintegrate during a ride today and the rattling was driving me nuts! Is there a more permanent solution to this than constantly replacing those plastic/fiber washers?

So how do the fuel injection maps work on models that never came with O2 sensors?

OP, did replacing the O2 sensors solve your problem?

My pic seems to have disappeared. Why can't I edit the original post?

Any thoughts on the My Tuning Bike module? Sounds like it should solve all the problems, but pricey since you need two of them @$325 each. I assume they are installed in place of the factory narrow band sensors?

I'll be departing Elmira, NY, to Deals Gap, leaving on a Tuesday morning. Is BRP "boring" enough to warrant skipping it and just taking 81 all the way? That would save 8-9 hours, which I could spend more in the Deals Gap area. Alternatively, if I take Skyline Drive through Shenandoah Park as...

What makes Blue Ridge Parkway boring, and the Skyway not? Any recommendations for good food?

Planning for August. Any tips for this trip, like whether there are enough gas stations within the range the tank, or if I need to bring spare fuel? Recommended places for food and shelter (or more importantly, places to avoid)?
