What's this grey stuff, and what's it done with the sun? What's all this slippery stuff all over the roads? Anyone else's bike acting peculiar? Not only did mine not start this morning (again)[1], it's now irregularly engaging the starter for me, usually at inopportune moments (in or out of gear). A bath in wizard's piss coming up, methinks. Gary [1] got it started by playing the fan heater on it for half an hour. Not only does it need the choke when cold, it appears to be very prone to flooding. Yes, I have some new spark plugs (to fit this evening), genuine Bosch ones at $5.36 each, thanks for asking. -- Wealth without Work Pleasure without Conscience Science without Humanity Knowledge without Character Politics without Principle Commerce without Morality Worship without Sacrifice The Seven Deadly Sins of M.K.

have you tried new plugs ?? hows the air filter ? 2 carbs ? balance ? mixtures would need a tweak i'm guessing valve clearances general going over should sort it out quick smart since its starting to get cold then air is more dense = more air getting into bike so thats why choke is needed check all elec points for starter probs flooding ? keep it out of the rain
Yep. Started first go ;-) The old ones had rounded electrodes, but the gap was still spot on. Pffft, rode the RS today. First time I've started it since I moved house back in July. Of course it didn't rain today. Now I have my mechanic's loaner DT175 :-# Thanks J5! Gary (thanks to Ms BMW for the new battery. I've never been in a spare parts shop and seen all female staff before!)(but it is Rolfe Classic, Land Rovers, Beemers, various up-market conveyances)[1] [1] http://www.rolfeclassic.bmw.com.au -- Wealth without Work Pleasure without Conscience Science without Humanity Knowledge without Character Politics without Principle Commerce without Morality Worship without Sacrifice The Seven Deadly Sins of M.K.

thats what hapens , they get old and need lots more volts to make em go no worries **** off spamming bitch is it rolfe that is also the ducati dealer ??? remmeber calling the ducati dealer in canberra for parts and being told to ring Gecko's so much for being a dealer with their phone number in the ads
Just like the owner Yes, AFAIK, Gecko is the one-and-only Ducati dealer in the ACT. "Gecko is EURO ... PHORIA !" http://www.geckomotorcycle.com.au/ I've never been in there, but I can see they've come a long way from what was once a discount tyre shop in Phillip. Which dealer is that?

You called a Ducati dealer asking for _parts?_ What were you thinking? I mean, if you wanted a Ducati poster, sure, or a t-shirt or a hat, or some Ducati boots or leathers, or even a calender - a watch - a beer stein - a golf tee - a Ducati Performance Carbon Fibre Kitchen Sink! But _parts?_ What next, you'll be expecting _service_ from them or something??? big (and I hear unconfirmed rumours they sometimes sell motorcycles...)
a carbon fibre sink woot , get your bitch arse in the kitchen and clean these parts nah not exactly i wanted some stickers for when my bike got painted after waiting for 8 weeks from NFI i called canberra , then called Northcoast and they said yeh how many you want ? and also got clutch slave seals , all arrived in the post 2 days later still laughing from the day i found a watch in the 'bargain' bin for $118 [1]and the exact same watch was also on the shelf for $240 wasnt hard to pick which one to buy [1] later sold for $220 on ebay to a guy in the UK
