Why does it stay revved?
Hi all,

I had a strange experience with my 1995 916 this evening....and it's not the 1st time...

I was at a stop light waiting for the green color to appear.. green appears ... and before putting it into 1st gear i gave it an acceleration blip (<3000rpm). Same time 1st gear selected and when i released the clutch and slowly accelerated to move the bike, suddenly the bike started to accelerate itself, i immediatelly pulled the clutch and the revs hit the limiter. Stopped the bike with the kill switch. Started it again, same thing...

Stopped it, twisted the throttle grip a few times on of and when i started it again revs returned to normal...

This is not the first time, actually it;s the third, i replaced the throttle cable after the 1st time. The 2nd time it was 2 weeks ago and quite the same thing.

I took it to Ducati and they greased the throttle cable, throttle body linkages etc everything...

What can it be?????

Have a look at the white adjuster on the throttle linkage. Over time they can work loose and turn on their own. This can push the throttle open or catch on the throttle body. Once it's balanced, secure it with a blob of silicon

Hi Nelly, can you please advise how can this happen?

Can the TPS be a problem?

Do a 748 (2000) throttle body fit the 916?

If it is the adjuster, it's just wear. It's plastic on a metal thread. Doubt the TPS is the problem.
throttle bodies should swap over. Blob of silicon is easier

Nelly, i read that the 748 has 50mm throttle bodies restricted to 45mm.

I understand from what you are saying that the 916 1995 and 748 2000 one are the same?
