1. The choke is on the engine. Do you mean if the choke is on the engine the friction from the engine will cause me to have to hold the choke? If this is the case is there no way to fix this? It's just something I'll have to deal with. 2. I have no idea what speed it is at. At the moment I have no d...

Is there anyone that can help me with these problems? Or, should I post this thread somewhere else?

Haha wow it was that simple. I thought it had something to do with the chassis or frame or something really complex on the bike. Well thank you for the info.

I took the MSF course and I thought it helped a lot. I'm 17 and had never been on a motorcycle before. The road course was quite difficult, there was an experienced rider and he had troubles. I think a lot of it is to teach about the clutch. There was one person who dropped their bike because they b...

Biposto? Monoposto?

Alright, I've tried to search on the internet for answers but I've found none. My question is: What is a biposto? What is a monoposto? This is probably a stupid question, but I'm very new to motorcycles.

I have another question that I forgot to ask. The flash relay for the turn signals was busted in the crash. So i bought a new one from the manufacturer. I also put on some new turn signals in the back. These turn signals are LED. When i turn them on they do not blink or flash. They just turn on diml...

Choke and Idle Question

I have a 1994 Ducati E900. I've posted a couple times about this bike because I am repairing it. Again, I am very new to motorcycles (I'm only 17) and am trying to figure things out. Alright, so I had the bike jetted for altitude because I live in Denver. I didn't run it for awhile after that becaus...

That could be the case and I will look into it. I took some pictures of the old dash so that my description will be clearer. On the old dash the "silent blocks" are put into the dash opposite of the way shown in the picture above. The screw part is bolted into the dash. The bolt is rusted ...

Ducati E900 Repair

I have a 1994 Ducati E900 that was crashed. The front end was destroyed so I have been rebuilding it. This is the first time I have ever done this and I'm having problems with the dashboard. I have the old dash so I've just been going by what the old one looks like, but I'm having a problem attachin...

This is probably a stupid question, but I am just getting into motorcycles, although my dad has been riding and working on them since his teenage years. How would I go about flushing the system? Are there any things that you would suggest doing while I have all the fairings off and the bike is just ...
