A faulty plug can cause that issue. The other think I would check is to see if the exhaust is sealing properly at the head. The threaded ring can come loose and that will give the symptoms you describe.

Couldn't you follow the same approach as used on the squarecase models which have a similarly recessed hole at the back of the stand and use a spacer (28 on the diagram in this link - https://www.ducaticlassics.com/parts/860-gte-and-gts/all/stands-footrests-and-rear-brak). That would bring the mount ...

This saga continues and it looks like I already have that Works fork kit (or similar) installed. My question is, from the picture below, is the assembly order correct? In particular, should that spacer be inside the top spring? The problem I'm having is that the forks are topping out rather ...

I’ve recently acquired a ‘74 GT with centre axle Marzocchi forks and when going over a bump the forks are topping out as if there is no rebound damping, and it sounds almost like metal on metal. I had assumed the oil level was low and so I pulled them off, fitted new seals and refilled each with ...

My bevel collection, much to my wife's annoyance, consists of a '74 450 yellow desmo and an '82 Darmah, both of which I restored from wrecks and I've just acquired a '74 750 GT (which just needs tidying up). Also in a garage is a 2001 900SS.
