Rob

In the last pic (oil level), is that an oil pressure or temperature sensor from the gauze filter housing?
Worked on 500, 900 and 1000DS engines but never seen a sensor from there.

Oil temp, for the display on the clocks. The engine temp used by the ECU is on front inlet rocker cover. Pressure is behind the oil filler cap.

I doubt it is the pump per se Slob, the 996 sat dry as a bone for 2 years and didn't affect it. Do you get current at the pin plug on the loom side?

Great thread - late to the party but I'm subscribed now...

So many good links to book mark as well for hopefully working on my 900 over winter.

I've not seen so much Titanium & Magnesium for a while - I Like It

I look forward to more updates!

Thanks Frank, I've been collecting parts for about 5 years. You can get some great bargains as long as you're not in a hurry.

Dirty · 23-09-2013, 11:24 AM

Wow, getting close now!

Stafford · 23-09-2013, 11:24 AM

What tyres are you planning to use Slob?

23-09-2013, 01:21 PM

Saying that, it would remove the final excuse that us mortals have when a small/light person, comes around the outside on a 125 (that's the excuse I used anyway

)

I was thinking about trying D211 but am leaning towards good ol' Super Corsas

Funkatronic · 23-09-2013, 04:56 PM

not anything silly like the drain hose kinked and creating a vacuum?

as to tyres, try the dunlop d212 pro's mate, 5 compound rear, 3 compound front
amazing tyre and last ages and still road legal

you should really use tyre warmers with the 212 (same as for 211)

slob · 23-09-2013, 05:17 PM

No tyre warmers for me, no sir. I could stick to my tried and tested 2CTs.

Black Bob · 23-09-2013, 05:24 PM

I've heard good things about Pilot Road 3's.... as long as the weather's not too warm.

Bike's looking FABULOUS, Rob. But.....

... will it blend?
