<-=- Club Bevel Heaven -=->

Sounds like this is a common problem and well documented on this forum,
what a helpful bunch all you Ducati owners are, thanks again!!

Hi, its the four pick up wires that ccome from the front of the left engine cover that have deteriorated

Any ideas where I can buy a wiring harness for my 1980 900GTS, I noticed tonight the plastic sleeving of the wiring from the ignition generator has all burnt out with bare copper wire on show, I am staggered it ran! Probably makes sense to fit a new harness if they are available.
Thank you

All re torqued correctly, it now runs as silently as a swiss time piece!! other than the boom of the conti silencers!

thank you for all of your help

I do follow the super rams, sounds like we are totally dominating the game but losing 0 1 at half time. doesn't make sense, a bit like these Ducati manuals I have!!

I thought I had too! I made the mistake of seperating the clutch plates to make sure everything was clean, then the phone went and I got dragged away and then left them for too long and forgot which way they went! have consulted the bevel heaven manual and worked to that and it seems to work fine, I ...

I am nearly there, the problem has been that 4 of the 6 bolts holding the flywheel on had sheared, Thank you to Tony Brancato for pulling the assembly off the crank and replacing the six screws. I am in the final throws of reassembly but am a little unsure of the order of the clutchplates. my haynes ...

I know what the problem is, the flywheel is loose because the screws holding it have worked loose, my only problem is I haven't got a puller for the gear in front of the flywheel, it must be a special tool as there is no room for a conventional puller, can anybody help?
thanks

Hi again gents, I am back on the job after a lengthy layoff due to various reasons, I have aquired the clutch tool and have now removed the nut and the clutch all seems fine, I have also bought a 36mm socket and the ignition stator nut is off and the stator comes off the woodroffe key. the flywheel ...

Thanks again gents, have come home from work tonight having borrowed a crowbar in readiness to attack it this weekend!
Will postpone work until I have the correct equipment,
P.S haynes manuals make good firestarters!
Have a good weekend everybody!!

Thanks, thats what I will do next, do I need the clutch holding tool to remove the big nuts or will a bar wedged in do the job without damaging anything?

the play is in the flywheel, it moves backwards and forwards a good couple of millimeters, is this normal? or could this be the problem.
thanks for all you help by the way, it is most useful

that big central nut is dead tight, with tab intact. there seems to be a bit of forward and backward play in the plate just in front of the ring gear the starter meshes into, there is about 2mm play forward and backward, could this be a problem?

Thank you again for your reply, The cover has been removed, I left the electrics attached and left it dangling, just out of the way, I have taken the clutch plates out, they seem fine, I have cabletied them in the correct order so they will go back as they came out, what next?

Hi thanks for your reply, It is an electric start model, I have tried pulling the clutch in and it makes no difference, what is the sprag bearing? I have taken the upper cover off to reveal the two sprockets and chain drive from starter, all appears ok there. I then removed all the bolts holding the ...
