[Ducati] 1992 ducati 900 ss

[Michael Lemire]

Hey Mark, If you are mechanically inclined you can do alot on that bike,  i 
have the same thing and do most of my maint.
I would definately have the carbs cleaned as they are no doubt gummed up, 
and replacing the oil and filter would be a good idea to.

I hope that helps.  If you have more specific questions give me a holler



Michael
