Yamaha XJ900S Diversion Fairing Removal
Переглядів 1 тис.7 місяців тому
It is inevitable that you will need to remove the fairing for general maintenance and repairs for example - replacing headlight and instrument bulbs or servicing the speedometer cable. Here's a quick video explaining the basic steps.
Ducati 900SS Mike Hailwood Replica ~ fit Sachse ignition system
Переглядів 10 тис.Рік тому
Just gave the old Ducati a new lease on life with a Sachse ignition system. It has become an absolute pig to ride around town but this update has finally given it some manners. I'm not a mechanic and this fitment was done easily with the most basic of tools. A warning, this video may be disturbing for some Ducati purists to watch. Special thanks to Vee Two Australia for suppling the kit and giv...

Interesting. I have a Darmah SS that probably need this
Very helpful, thank you
Thanks a lot for posting the video. Sounds perfect. Such a joy to hear and see. I have sat on this bike on the '79 motor show and I have been passionate about this bike ever since. I have raced the '91 900ss against Jap bikes and nothing follows your thoughts like that one and the 888. I wish you many happy rides with your dream machine.
This video help so much I have a 1993 Suzuki 600 and I wasn’t able to find anything on how to take out the carbs and properly disassemble them
Nice video ! It helps a lot ! Have you ever remove the rear shock absorber ?
Thankyou, I will be replacing the swing arm bearings soon which will include this.
@@craiggrech thx
Good video
Do not do what he did with the twist grip before starting. The carb slides bang down on a pointy screw end and mash the carby slide until it won't idle any more. To use accelerator pumps open throttle quickly but close slowly.
Yes good point already mentioned elsewhere and have since changed throttle springs from heavy to light.
Hi Craig , I messed up with the air screws now my bike can t rev up past 3k I'm wondering how much you turn the carbs after you clean them(2 turns or 3 I've tried both but still ) maybe I ve messed with the tip of one of them or more or my main jet Idk ua-cam.com/users/shortsCXQQl3ZEDKg?si=h2aCoW7VWfGnCd_j
I think that's the main jets not delivering enough fuel at the wider throttle opening above 3000 rpm, not pilot or idle mixture which have less impact. Did you do a fully pull down?
@@craiggrech No , I did not took my main jet out only used carburateurs spray but I will tommorow
@@craiggrech you got me thinking maybe it s related to fuel pump although sounds fine maybe that is one of possible cause, Luckly I have two more of this.
@@fsociety4829 Main jet doesn't block up, make sure you have fuel in the bowls. Check your fuel pump is working by putting the outlet hose in a container and hitting the starter. Fuel should flow out freely. Check the floats and float valves are opening.
found that it was only the airfilter that needed to be changed . unfortunately I have now some sort of oil leak near fhe carburateurs something wrong with head gasket or valve clearence , my compression on all cylinders are 75 , half of what it s supposed to be
Great video and very helpful. I’m fitting exactly that unit on my (now) kick only SD Darmah and your experience is what I’d hope for.
Can you buy a rebuild kit with new seals etc. And would the carbs have to be resynchronized
Yes you can buy kits to rebuild these carbs. Normally you don't need to re-synchronize them unless you made changes to the synchronising screws during disassembly but if you fit new diaphragms, needles or jets it will probably need to be done.
Hi Craig. My 1996 Divy has just done 107,000km and i am having the timing chain and tensioner replaced this week. When should i have the rubber seals in the carbies replaced if i am having no issue with them at the moment? Cheers Rob
You only need to replace them if they are leaking. Normally you will see some cracking and it starts to effect idling. A good test is to spray some WD-40 on them while the engine is running. If the idle changes it means air is getting in and you need to check the clamps and maybe replace the seals (manifolds).
In the singles we jammed a 2 pence coin between clutch and output. the flywheels had a habit of unscrewing, funny I should have my clutch drum of the 999 unscew itself of late (just after having a new clutch fitted at a Dealer.
My 750 Sport is still on points and sometimes starts first kick, but your Sachse system sounds very good indeed. I wonder if they make one for 'points' bikes (roundcase). PS I did once start the bike 'accidentally' just feeling for compression on a garage forecourt, but that sort of embarrassment I can take! Good video, thanks for posting.
Thanks after two failure from the Dynatech on my small block Guzzi I've been looking at the Sachse. It's either that or back to points.
IMHO the black and gold 900SS was the best looker of all time, and your bike a VERY close 2nd. They sound and ride fantastic as well. Bloody gorgeous.
One of my bucket list bikes. Glad to see it now rides as good as it looks. I'm very envious.
Great video. Gives me the confidence to buy this kit for my 79 900SD. I've not ridden it since 1991 so all the problems I had have been forgotten and I can't wait to hear those Contis again!
Mine’s an ‘81 converted to kick only (from electric start only). The sprag clutch always sounded terrible and in short supply if at all. Not ridden for 25 years and has undergone a full strip and rebuild. I’m hoping for an Easter fire up .
very well presented thanks
Nice looking classic 👍 Ducati man,👍 they sound Good too, i,m sure it will run Much better with electronic ignition! 👍👍I,ll bet it gets along quite well, yes modern bike are faster of course but they do not look or sound half as good as your Duke!! 👍👍
Nice bike. Careful snapping the throttle. Repeated hard impact from the idle stop screw will put a dent in the slide.
Thanks never thought of that, the return springs are so strong. I usually give it three quick openings to spray a bit of fuel into the cylinders before starting. Tickling the carbs isn't enough.
Hi Craig. I have a 1998 with 65000km. i havent done much to other than normal wear and tear. But you said that you renewed the timing chain at 130000km. Was the chain in one piece (complete rebuild of the engine) or was it with a rivet connector (just a top end removal)? regards from Denmark
The original chain and the new one were both riveted (no joiner). Using the common method I pressed the pin out of the old one with a chain breaker and temporarily joined the new one to it so I could gently pull it through the motor. Then joined the new chain and flattened the end of the pin.
When I remove my fuel hoose it keeps leaking fuel. Any idea why? Thanks!
Some fuel will drain back from the hose and the filter but it should stop fairly quickly. If it is leaking from the tap after you turn it off it is a faulty tap. Connect a hose to it and put the end higher than the tank while you remove the tank. You will have to drain the tank and fix/replace the tap.
@@craiggrech wow thank you so much. Yes i left it a little while its not pouring out its more dripping. So maybe i will have to take it apart and have a look. Thanks for the quick reply
I am really happy about your works I will like to new posts
Thanks for your post. Just wondering how many km's on the odometer. I bought a 2001 divi four years ago, second hand. At 80,000kms. Coming up to 95,000km's what sought of things need servicing and keeping an eye on. Want to really look after this bike. Any advice? I'm in Bathurst NSW, and an older rider at 52. Cheers.
165,000km at present. I bought it with 30,000km on it. Apart from the usual tyres, batteries and brake pads I haven't had to spend much on it. The oil coolers are prone to leaking but you can get a cheap replacement off Ebay. I did the cam chain at 130,000km as it started to rattle. It's common for the fuel gauge to stop working, most learn to live without it. Centre stand can rust but I've never had any problem. Rear shock adjuster can jam up with stones, swingarm bearings can run dry. Front springs get a bit soft so a lot invest in progressive springs. Check your headlight 3 pin connector they can melt but are easily replaced with one from Supercheap Auto. As for the motor, no problems so far, good compression, original clutch and doesn't burn oil. I think it could easily do 250,000km before anything major.
Just replaced my throttle cable a few days ago . I was not confident to remove carbs so did the job with them in situ . Wish you had posted your vid sooner 😆 as it took a lot of patience to get those cable nippes in their location under spring pressure . . Thanks for that vid . If I need my carbs off in future I will reference your vid again.
Hope it is a help Robert. Let me know if you get stuck on anything.
Which model
