Puny horn saves motorcyclist
Something told me this guy wasn't going to budge.
It's not quite visible on the video, but at the moment that I expected the car to start slowing down and making room for me, he actually steered into my direction, which then triggered my response. For some reason, the human brain is able to completely ignore an oncoming motorcycle....especially with these conditions (partly clouded, overhanging trees).
Nothing too hairy though, all in a day's riding :)

Ducati 900 intermittent CPS failure
มุมมอง 6K12 ปีที่แล้ว
So, every now and then my Cagiva Gran Canyon (powered by a Ducati 900 2v engine, with Weber-Marelli 1.6M fuel injection) wouldn't start - no spark. And then it would come back to life and run great. I traced the problem back to a failing crank position sensor, the thing that tells the ECU how fast the engine is running. 680 ( /-15%) is the normal resistance value of the inductive sensor....but ...

    It's been a while since there has been any activity here... so, I'll ask and maybe something will come back. I have a 99 Monster 750, and suspect that the CPS has gone bad or needs adjustment. I'm currently running on one cylinder and get no spark in bad cylinder. I would like to test the CPS but... Where is it? Do I need to remove the engine cover? Thanks!

      Toby Shearman did you ever solve this? I'm having the same issue

    • @tshearman
      @tshearman 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes. I ended up having to replace the part. There is a company electrexworld.co.uk which sells replacement sensors. (P08 is the one I purchased for my 99 M750). The replacement was too tricky but did involve removing the engine case on the left side. I had to carefully backtrack the wiring diagram, but again it was pretty straightforward. Having the Haynes book helped me a lot. While inside, I replaced both, which I would recommend. Once this part was replaced, it fired back up beautifully. This was definitely my problem.

    • @jprav65
      @jprav65 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      That's great to hear, thanks a ton. I will definitely replace both. Might as well while I'm in there.

    Ah, same here. Much time spent checking, measuring, googleing, sighing and scratching head in front of bike. One time it died on a test run and I had to push it uphill for 2km....only to have it start again in front of the house..! These bikes do test our patience. Part of the Italian experience I guess. I'll gladly take that beer and talk motorcycles when I make it to Wales one day.

    I was off the road for about three weeks until I saw your vid, I'd like to buy you a beer but i'm in the uk, wales . all the best wishes, send me a message if you ever get over this end of the globe. cheers again.

    It's a Spiegler superbike kit, consisting of a set of adapters (made by LSL) that go on the stock triple, handlebars and a longer brake line. The result was a way more upright sitting position, and as a pleasant side effect the ol' 500 was even easier to tip into corners. Great, great peg-scraping fun. I don't know if the kit is still available, but you could probably get away with drilling the triple and mounting risers.

    Man, I had a 71 Triumph Daytona and that thing sound like it was a drum call, people used to ask what was wrong with it and I have to explain it was just designed that way. The little beast ended up catching fire at a stop light on me, a ton of fun to ride when she wasn't throwing a fit.

    Tensioner had been updates, the cam chain is within the wear limit and valve adjustment within spec. I guess Kawasaki intended it to sound like a sewing machine :) Wait till you hear one of the older inline fours...like they can explode at anytime!

    Yeah, they are really that great. We had them as ambulance cars and from time to time such stunts are necessary. They are good partners if you know how to handle them. Thank you, Syncros!
