Questions, questions

Thanks for the info so far!

I'll be picking up the bike (900ssie) in a couple of weeks, so:

What's the service interval on the valvegear reshim?
Is the s/arm drilled for paddock stand bobbins, & if so, what's the thread?

Thanks again

Service intervals are annually or 6000 miles "whichever comes first".
The valve clearances should be checked but in reality, you may not them need doing until 12k, say.
It's not a massive job to check them so better safe than sorry.........
The arm on the 900SSie I have in at the moment isn't drilled for bobbins. I don't think any of them are?????

...and for being patient with me!

Now, where can I find a step-by-step procedure for checking/adjusting desmo valvegear? Don't worry, I'm an aircraft engineer so I'm confident I can do it.

Btw, when I had a 750ss years ago, the valves were done by Paul Klatkievicz of Ducati Technical Services. Is he still around? Nice bloke...

PS less than two weeks till I get the bike!

Try here, although it's an ST2 site there's loads of info for the SS types too.

Yes, Paul is still around. Somewhere near Leeds, I think. It's been a while since I spoke to him. Mixed reviews, though.

I wish there was as much info available for Moto Morinis.

Four days till I get the bike!

I'm going to stay up every night till then- mainly 'cos I work nights at E. Mids airport.
