OK, I resolved the issue. It turns out that bleeding the clutch circuit on these Ducati motors can be somewhat problematical. I went through about 10 ounces of fluid before I finally got the thing to ... |

Holy crap, I hope this isn't due to some unpleasant issue! To say that you will be missed is an enormous understatement!
I would have been totally lost without your input after I acquired my DB5R!

Happy new year, BCP!
Now when are you going to expand into DB5 territory? I purchased a set of mirrors from you for my DB5R and they are the bees knees!
Best fortune in the coming year! |

I can testify that the cable upgrade and li-po battery transforms the starting of these bikes!
As far as the Zard head pipes go, I felt that the price was very reasonable and I am happy that I did ... |

Welcome to the DB5 ranks!
My bike gets great fuel mileage when cruising, but when really on the gas it does drop precipitously!
I like the bodywork you have, where is it from? |

I would not be concerned about the blow by, but I would be about the fact that it allows the motor to bypass the air filter. How much would depend on how big the hole was. |

When I had my air box off a while ago I also had the breather box off and I found that the rear cylinder had melted a hole in it. It was on the right side.

Sounds like crankcase breather. Where is the breather routed? |
