I'm always happy to know you are doing well and enjoying motorcycles. Thanks for checking in. BTW, I can attest to the crazy nature of modern Ducati electronics. One of my masonic brothers bought a late-model Ducati Scrambler and found out the hard way that if you disconnect the battery for any reason, the odometer disappears (among other display-related anomalies) and you must take the bike to an authorized Duc dealer to have it all straightened out electronically. There's no other option. I have a huge problem with this because it boils down to basic right-to-repair and right-of-ownership issues. BMW is also known for these tactics. I dig them both, but what a drag. We shouldn't be beholden to dealerships forever. Cheers from Texas.
Great to catch up with your exploits Andy! I know it's a lot of work doing the videos, but thanks to you, I bought a set of RS36's from Mikuni OZ for my XS850 and it's made a hell of a difference. I do hope you find time to keep us posted on your projects in the future.
It's approaching autumn in the UK, so I guess you're just getting into spring over there. Is this you coming out of hibernation? Good to see you back and great result with the Ducati.
Awesome to see you back Andy! I first found your channel about 3 years ago when I started looking for a GS1000 project bike, so of course I watched your series on Bill’s bike, then all your other stuff. Attractively priced GS1000’s aren’t that common in the US, so I ended up, about 3 months ago with a 1982 CB900F, in a bit better shape than Bill’s bike, but still plenty to do (it cost me $500 so that should give you a clue…) the roadmap you laid out as you went thorough the GS and the XS11 are serving as my guides to this bike, so thanks for all the super useful content over the years!!
Great to see you back, we were going to send out a search party. Had my ST3s for 3 weeks now and having lots of fun getting to know it and servicing it. Belts next.
The ATS will also affect the fueling....if the ecu sees a spurious value it will put a base value to allow the bike to run. Normally rich to save the motor.
I wondered about that. I was pretty sure that it sent a value to the ECU for AFR as well as to the dash for the air temp display. I figured that it MUST be working or it would not run right, I didn't know about the base value. That's why it took me so long to change it. Thanks for clearing that up.
Good to see you back .
good to see ya still alive mate!! thanks for the share! cheers. :)
Good to see another video mate, spring is just around the corner......
Great to see you back on the tube mate!...

Good to see you back Andy👍
A lesson there to not over look the simple stuff first

...... wondered about the XS gear problem..
