Has the engine been detonating at all? Has it pinged, rattled or knocked under load, especially in top gear roll ons? I ask these questions because the plug condition that you describe can be the result of a moderate to severe detonation problem. Have you used a stobe light on your engine to check ...

The RV-1 on ebay is the bike that was owned and raced by Phil Allen and Dean Duckmanton from Bike World in Adelaide. I saw it go around many times at Lakeside in Queensland in the early 90's. It was still being developed at that stage and I'm pretty sure it had a stroked 1000cc engine in it which is ...

This is the original sales brochure that VEE TWO sent to me in early 1991.

Lumpy,
VR stands for 'variable reluctance'. It consists of a magnet and a coil so therefore it does not require an external power source. Essentiallly a magnetic flux is created and as a ferrous metal target approaches and passes the pole of the sensor an AC voltage is generated which becomes the ...

Macdesmo,

Hi, I've just stumbled across your thread. I also am an Alchemy owner. I was an early customer who bought a bare metal frame kit and assembled it myself in early 1991 using an 860 which I already owned as the donor. Once I learned how to set it up properly it was a magnificent motorcycle and it ...

Macdesmo and austduke

Yes, you are right, it was a lot of work but probably more mentally than physically. The secret was in the planning and understanding how the ECU worked, what it was capable of and how it could be applied to the Ducati twin. It was an iterative process to find the right setup ...

how did you do that? I followed the instructions using the 'Img' buttton but only seemed to manage the adding of the tags around the url. When I previewed the post all I saw was the url with tags around it, no image displayed!

This is my 1976 860 GTS which I have owned since 1980. In this time it has undergone many changes, the most recent being the addition of an engine management system that controls both ignition and fuel. This has been a completely DIY project involving a very steep learning curve and the sourcing of ...
