916 bottom yoke Query
 

How is the yoke stem help in place on the 916 bottom yoke.
is it pressed in ????

what would the best way to remove one. would it need heat???


any advise appreciated.

It's screwed in. Heating up the bottom yoke will help a lot though before you try and unscrew it ;)

What Nelly said,
Ducati make it easy for you, shouldn't be beyond a decent machinist to knock up another stem that will allow you to adapt the Ducati yokes to your headstock/bearings

Many thanks for info. as always you help is invaluable.

So far i have managed to get the spacers made for the forks and had a 350ypvs rear wheel spindle addapted to fit front wheel. need now to get the wheel in and sort our spacers for the wheel and fingers crossed will be ok.

Fitting the yokes will now be easier now i know that the original is threaded as long as its not one of those funny sizes often found on the italian bikes.

thanks to all again

The thread is a fine pitch for its size and no doubt metric, but any capable turner should be able to do a bit of screw cutting to get he right thread
