well, the latest info is:

There are NO kits for the later engines!!!:o

so, I am on the phone to Peter at D/UK to try to get help.....


otherwise, it looks like we will either:

have to run at a disadvantage to the other bikes:(

or

withdraw from the comp...:(

or

has anyone got an early engine?


mind you, having stripped this one down, and having got various work under way - replacing rockers etc, this is going to be a very expensive exercise!:o

C

this any good?

I have if Al wants to come round and swap them, over;)....still in the bike tho!!

Hmm my kit number is DU96401897C.
Black no orings - this looks ominous :o

Phoenix, that's 680cc kit for m600 pre '97

according to DP catalogue part number DU96401897C should fit bikes up to 97
there are no Orings and the barrels are black

spare piston number DU964120AAA
spare piston rings number is DU964031AAA

no help to CK+AK but will put a few minds at rest

I believe he can help :smug:

Yep thats right - only my bike is a 99 and this was given to suppliers along with engine and frame numbers.

Well it seems some confusion reigns over the original chassis number over at Ducati and it now transpires that my bike is indeed a 98 on a 99 plate - thats better. I knew full well it wasn't the early engine.
Tomorrow is another day so we'll have to wait and see what happens.
Other than that i'll be running a 583 and be done with it :o
