<-=- Club Bevel Heaven -=->

I've noticed that nearly every Ducati Bevel that comes up for auction here in New Zealand goes to Australia... 'spose I can't complain, I bought my Darmah in Sydney in 1987 and a BMW R75/5....yer not gettin' them back in a hurry...

Got the selectors sorted, missing circlip and shim on selector shaft can't have helped.
first run out today, all ok but clutch slipping a bit.
cheers

Thanks guys for your input.
I took photos as I pulled everything apart.
There was no circlip on the main selector.......?
I have done about 2000km since the motor was semi rebuilt ( bottom end) and have only noticed false neutrals lately.
I'll have to make up a shopping list and send it to Steve.

Riding home recently left me stuck in top gear only.
I stripped the clutch side down, hoping it was just the external selectors.
Using a screwdriver in the selector drum and rotating the wheel all gears select.
The drum has 4 pins in it and a 5th hole.
The cover washer/plate has a 1/2 a pin brazed ...

I bought a Jap import 01' 900ss here in NZ for 10k ( 5.9K US) with 17k km on the clock, its been so well looked after it looks like new.
Its loaded with carbon fibre goodies.
Very different to ride than the 900SD, taking a while to get used to the riding position,brakes and suspension.
Sounds ...

I'm thinking for flogging off my BMW 'toaster 'r50/5 and getting something bigger.
I like the mid 90's 900 SS's but have never ridden one.
anyone got any tips or thoughts on these models?
I had a 85 GPZ 900 a couple of years ago but it was fast and wallowly and too quiet.

No we're not..... :roll:

( just trying to hide the 'shame' of buying non genuine stuff....)

I thought they might be good for round town or the odd run, seem to be reasonably well made but....the are very stiff...maybe they feed Pakistani cows on viagra. Better quality than the Brando jacket I ...

I....I mean my friend has been looking at the 'old times' leather jackets on Ebay...'he' knows they are are not genuine product but they look cool..
"he' looked at one locally and they are about 1/4 of the dealer price, might be nice for around town and stopping at the cafe.
They are reasonably well ...

25 posts to go from a Cucciolo to a 500 parallel twin.....jeez.
Can I jump the queue if I put up pics of the Museum starting with their most sucessful model proudly positioned in the main entry...?
( no...not me the Darmah)
And look...no drip tray!!!

The Darmah front cylinder did not like to start and took a while to clear itself. I think it has oil issues as it smokes a bit on start up. Once the plug fouls its pretty much history........( our petrol is not the best).
So I bought some of Steves Dyna Coils and leads.
Starts way better now and ...

I Reg, Where abouts in NZ are you? I am in Auckland and also have a Darmah. I bought mine in Aus and it was originally red/white also.
My neighbour rebuilt his his S2 recently, did all the work himself including rebuilding the crank. I had my motor rebuilt by Desmocycle in Christchurch and it goes ...

Hello Steve and Everyone else, I have been a silent member for a year or so as my Darmah was not running.....
I wanted a Darmah from the time I saw it on the cover of a Two Wheels mag in the late 70's. I went to Aussie in '86 and bought a BMW /5 to get around on and later picked up a '78 Darmah. My ...
