I may just have the answer for that one. Took Nelly and me the best part of a month to find out a similar problem on my track 916 some time ago. The issue was a small split in one of the fuel hoses inside the tank. Anytime I was winding the throttle on the engine was about to die and would not pick up the revs. Because the fuel was being spat back in the tank, there was no tail-tail sign of what the issue could be.
Mood: Finally gotten over the 748R getting stolen thing. Actually, no i haven't !
If you are sitting in neutral and blip the throttle do you get any rise in revs at all? I think my 998 would pull away and run to about 15 mph without any throttle and therefore it could be the TPS not detecting the throttle movement.
Hello and thankyou to everyone who has offered their help on this one. I have not had the chance to even get in the garage and won't now until next tuesday. I did take the front plug lead off and am going to try a mates first to see if that is the cause before i do anything else as the symptoms that John W explained seem the same as mine do. Will let you know next week. Thank's again, Dan
Hi all, No it's not sorted. I logged on to this site today after 4 months as i want to get it going. I ended up buying an Aprilia shiver and have been using that during the rough weather but now the sun seems to be on it's way i want to get it sorted. I have uncovered the old girl today and she started 1st time. That odyssey battery is unbelievable. Will post when i've tried the new leads. Cheers, Dan
Bike is sorted now. I took the bike to DHR and the Ducati Tech reset the TPS and hey presto the bike is as it was before. I had the belts done while it was in and some new tyres. Got it back last Thursday and it runs like a dream. Thanks to all who gave thier help.
