@@patrickduncan3637 I don’t think anyone wants to see that. Just me being passive aggressive to a car while doing nothing productive 😂

@@Saryotheone the bike has been amazing. My bike is on 15,000 miles. This is the first issue I have had with it and hopefully easily sorted. But it is Italian so can’t expect it always to be plain sailing 😁

I'm at 23ish thousand miles. I had this issue about 4 thousand miles ago. My bike is not a great example, the previous owner didn't take the best care of it, and I'm pretty sure it's been dropped, but It really has been reliable overall. This issue made it unrideable, but the fix was $50 so real simple in the end, and the fact that my mechanic had never seen it before probably means it's really rare. I also have a small leak from the clutch slave cylinder, and this is a common problem on these bikes. My shop replaces it with an aftermarket part because the OEM part is not great, but the leak is very slow so most people top off clutch fluid and go about their day, which is what I am currently doing. I will change it eventually but it is effectively a non-issue at the moment. I don't know if you would need special tools to do the job yourself, but the cylinder is hanging off the left side of the engine block, so no accessibility issues. I mentioned a coolant leak, but it's also very slow and I have a feeling it's a crack in the expansion tank itself, so again not a nightmare. I will say however, I used to have a 2007 Ducati Monster S2R 800 and that bike was supremely reliable and noticeably better put together than this one.

@@atlastvstation why would the clutch slave cause it? Bike doesn’t have any leaks either as that would have pointed me in a direction 🤔

@@atlastvstation wow thanks for the advise mate! I’ll certainly look into that! I haven’t had any problems with the dash just yet… but yeah this could be it! Hopefully a cheap fix then

@@m_john_m No worries. It's shocking how cheap the fix was, given the amount of time and effort that went into diagnosing it. My dash issues came later, but the consensus was that it was probably related, so hopefully the problem is fixed before you get to that point. I'd love to see a video of this if it's in fact the fix! Good luck

@@atlastvstation yeah it’s starting to become a nightmare 😂 I will be doing another video on the other bits I’m doing. I’m going to test the injectors to make sure they are OK aswell. I just want it back on the road 😂

@@m_john_m I'll watch what you post brother. It's seems like you're trying to get it back into proper condition, which is the same place I am in. I have a 2011 848 Evo, which is not in the best shape. Mechanically it's fine, minus a small coolant leak I'm trying to track down. Cosmetically it's a mess. My fairings are cracked, it's matte black and the paint is in awful condition, and I have spots of rust everywhere.

It's always good to get Rid of that stupid valve. They say it's for Torque at low Rpms but it's not. Notic no aftermarket Exhausts have them. It's for Emissions and noise pollution. You will notice more power down low without it.

@@stephentruett5586 next on my list 😆

@@patrickduncan3637 I know mate 😢 well it only threw up an EML for a few seconds. I don’t have the adaptor for it (it’s not an OBD2 like a car…. Might look into ordering one). Was planning on testing injectors first 😁

@@m_john_m hopefully get it sorted soon before the winter comes 🙏💯😎

@@patrickduncan3637 hmmm I’m doubtful 😂 balls deep in the E30 and head scratching over the E31 😂

@@m_john_m 😂😂

@@GAVINSenior-r1k hi mate, Yeah I have been told it could be the TPS. Appears to be more a fueling issue but I really don’t know at the moment. No my display is fine, I did have an EML briefly come on once for about 30 seconds though 🤔 next step for me is to get injectors checked over

@@GAVINSenior-r1k hi mate. No my display is fine I think 🤔 someone commented saying it could be something to do with the exhaust valve, apparently you can buy a bypass switch to prevent it from staying shut? So might be worth a try (£60 so potentially cheap fix)

@@patrickduncan3637 thanks mate. Baby steps 😂 I’m not good at this stuff

@@patrickduncan3637 😂😂😂

@@patrickduncan3637 crap isn’t it 😢

@@m_john_m yeah sure is 😐

@@simonprice7557 terrible isn’t it

@@teecchnoboy yeah a manual would transform the way the car drives 🙌 but your probably right the underside is the worst 😂 this one was pretty clean underneath

@@Gamefreak2079 buy a c6? Message me on insta. Mines not for sale though

It’s getting there mate. A lotttttt of work has gone into it 😂

Best one

Thanks 🙌

🥰

Good advice 🙌

Didn’t think of doing that, didn’t think it would matter, it doesn’t on my RS6 anyway 😂

Do you not like the original wheels? Unfortunately I’m selling it to fund my e30 and e31 build 😢

@@m_john_m They're a pain to keep clean, the Borbets really make them stand out. lovely car though. I have a TT mk1 currently at 285bhp, cant take it any higher without replacing rods, Im buying either an S5 or S4, keeping the TT but selling my Lexus LS 430 to get more funds for a decent S5 or S4, you shouldn't have any problem selling that though as its a rare one and the right colour 👍🏼 What E30 do you have?

@@Electrotat awesome mate! Make sure it’s a V8 S5 ;) Iv got an e30 325 sport m tec 2, complete resto on it. It’s nearly finished, just need funds to get it off the line. This and the e31 build have crippled me 😂

@@m_john_m Worth the time and money though and you have a rare one there, I had a 325 E30 coupe about 10 years ago they're awesome cars 👍🏼

@@Electrotat yes mate, been an absolute pig to sort, was hilariously rusty to the point the welder nearly walked off the job on the first day 😂 new cills, inner cills, arches 😂 should have started my YT videos then, would have been a laugh for some

🥰

Yeah it is mate 😁 so nice that I don’t want to sell but needs must 😢

I bet you can’t mate! They are great cars, I’m sad to be selling mine 😢

I know mate, usually do this but not getting that deep into this car. Just putting it back onto the road, all the underside work I am doing is an extra really.

Thanks mate 🥰

😂😂😂 💪

Absolutely not 😂

Correct, I have both so double as expensive for me 😂 should have taken up stamp collecting

@@m_john_m I sold my bike I have 2 trucks and a car ill wait to get another bike

@@justinrogers3690 awesome mate. Get back on the bike 😆

@@m_john_m I’m trying to fund my is300 build first then I’ll get another bike 😩 I wish I was rich

@@justinrogers3690 don’t we all mate 😢

😂😂😂

Depends how hard you hit the drugs really doesn’t it 😂 one addiction away from losing the house, wife and kids

@@m_john_m not all, us junkies, are the same. I am faaaa............ Faaaaar from wealthy or rich..... But I managed to get wife, house and two kids amid this drama....

@@TK-fd3qt good lad! Best of both worlds

@@m_john_m hmmmm... This open mind of yours...... I would say you had at least one good trip in your life. How wrong is I?

@@TK-fd3qt no comment 😂

Thanks mate ❤

Some are 😂😂

That’s my plan mate 😆 need to beat my current top speed of 202mph

Cheers mate 🥰

They are a lovely bus 😁

Never used dry ice. Only ever seen it used on the inside of cars to break up the sound deadening. Would mean I’d need to strip the car down surely?

A year too late 😂

Should have done vids for all of them

Thanks mate 🙌 will be plenty to come don’t worry 😁

Thanks mate. I’ll do the same 🙌
