Had this happen to a sump plug - right ******* to get out. The only thing that touched it was a set of extractors from Snap-on tools. Very expensive, but I have used them countless times on Ducati...

Did mine a few weeks ago - complete bitch.

Frank, how did you discover this, and how did you drain it?

I know how to do this for a diesel engine (:lol:) but never imagined it to be a problem on a bike.

Cheers

This might be complete ******** - but my Carb model 900ss suffered exactly the same symptoms due to carb icing. Is it possible, that a fuel injected Duke can also suffer icing (don't forget that it...

Yep - that pretty much describes it. I know I have suffered carb-icing before, but never back-fires.

I nailed it all the way down the A1(M) from Stevenage to the North Circular, at speeds well over the ton. Fuel starvation would have showed up then wouldn't it?

Thx anyway.

Help.

Rode to the Ally Pally show today, and my 1993 900ss (carb model obviously) was backfiring all over the place (on the over-run, and also on a neutral throttle at low revs).

I have never...

Fuel tank breather

I took the fuel tank breather pipe off today to clean it, without making a note of which way round the vent goes (Doh). It seems to act as a non return valve, so I guess this is important!

All ducati slave cylinders leak don't they? I have just replaced mine on a 1993 900ss. Some lessons are never learnt. (just like flaking crank cases - they all seem to do that too!)
