(There's an interesting thread about green colored loctite type fluid being used on Multi front rotors.....owner couldn't remove the bolts....galling/seized)
 
I think there should be a thread where someone coorelates unnecessary arguing with the full moon. I noticed a full moon last night.

I'm in a bad mood, it has nothing to do with the moon or the occult. :p

Your name is exactly how I feel about today. ......' eh!
 
Let's see:
Starter
Fuel Pump
Front Fork bladders
Verticle Valve Cover Seal Leak
Horizontal Valve Cover Seal Leak
Gear shift selector seal leak
Dash ECU (Right blink/Up function fail)


that should sum it up without all the miscellaneous bolts loosening and exhaust plug departure.
 
over on ducati.ms? I read that. Actually you know LT Snyder who's a guru on ducs (desmotimes.com) doesn't recommend using loctite on brake rotor bolts.

I just changed out rotors on my sf as one rotor had warped so upgraded to full floaters, they had red loctite. FYI, easiest way to remove rotor bolts is an impact wrench. Also, a good idea to use new bolts when putting new rotors on.

I'm happy now, new levers on and wired in my DC plug (stealthy of course) so I can charge my phone and not worry about GoPro3 battery life ;).

Yes, that's the one.....thanks,
 
Watch the video if you can find it. You just drill out the existing rivets, then install these using the washers and c-clips. Looks easy-pezy.


It does after watching the vid. Where can I find buttons to make the rear free floating?













:p
 
I don't see what the problem is with this thread. I am a prospective buyer, and a thread like this is exactly what I'm looking for. I want a quick summary of all the problems that have popped up. I'd like to know what I'm getting involved with if I were to buy a new bike or a used bike. If there's something that catches my eye, I'll research it further to see how serious or not it is.

Most every other forum centred around a bike or car that I've participated in (and that's been a lot) have had a thread like this. Often it forms the basis for a mechanical diagnostics/help FAQ.

And I've got to say, the problems popping up for the 1199 look pretty tame. No one is talking about blown engines, cracked cylinder heads, or grenaded transmissions. The few dashes with the melted cases is a little concerning, but nothing else I wouldn't be willing to live with.

I don't think you guys need to hide this collected information from anyone.

This is NOT a thread you should be concerned with if you are a potential buyer. Most of the comments on here are ......., moans, and comlaints from guys with no real experience. If you want a good review and list of potential issues, go talk to a dealership/shop that has their 1199 race bike on display. They are the ones that put these bikes thru their paces, not the guy with the Tricolor who only rides it to bike nights at Starbucks. If someone is so concerned with issues that they need a fault forum to dictate a purchase, they have two clear options: Get the extended warranty or go with one of the "Big 4".
