[Ducati] Re: Ducati Digest, Vol 14, Issue 55-headlight modulator

Fri Feb 23 10:30:31 EST 2007
I would like to know if anyone has any experience installing a headlight modulator on a Ducati Monster. My wife has a 620ie Dark and has had several instances where cars have not seen her. I've also had the experience when riding her bike and although I've offered to get her a new 695 Monster in red, she would rather keep the 620. I'm looking at a Kisan P115w-s modulator and wonder if anyone has had experience with this or other modulators. Thank you

Hi Dave, I live in the sunny Caribbean on a little island called St Martin.
We had 16 murders here last year - population 60 000! they tried my Husky
410 - Ducatis don't interest them too much here luckily.

I wasn't going to comment but in the spirit of being fair and balanced here
goes. My experience with Jay and Ducati Austin (including Mototek for
Aprilia) has been quite different from yours. I had been dealing with Jay
for probably 3 years before moving to Austin in 2003 from Atlanta on Aprilia
parts. There isn't any place else I would consider using for Aprilia. Since
moving to Austin I've bought a motorcycle, scooter, in addition to numerous
parts and service. He always delivered on what he said he would and has
treated me very well.
I've dealt with Ducati Austin before and after Jay and Mark took it over,
and I've seen a marked improvement over that last few months. I'm sure they
have gone through some rough spots in the transition of ownership as Mark
mentioned.
Fork seals are like clutch plates or any other wear item. So if you had 27K
miles admittedly ridden hard on and off-road (which is probably greater than
normal wear and tear) and I'm guessing that the service interval is less
than that then why would you expect the dealer to pay for it. Sincerely,
good for you that KC didn't charge you. I have had my Multistrada (which I
bought while I was in Atlanta) serviced and warranted by Ducati Austin
without issue for the speedo, and a few other items. Really don't see an
issue with the dealer requiring that they look into why the speedo
malfunctioning before jumping too replacing it and maybe not fixing the
right part and you than being upset for not getting it right the first time.
Hopefully things continue work out for you with KCI. In the 15 years of
Ducati ownership I would say they are one of the better dealers that I've
done business with and have no hesitance in using or recommending them.
Looks like some good riding weather here in central TX the few days,
everyone get out and ride.

Vito

>From Ducati Corse:
Thursday Feb 22 2007
Qualifying
LANZI AND BAYLISS (DUCATI XEROX) GET 2007 SEASON UNDERWAY WITH FIFTH AND
SIXTH QUICKEST TIMES IN QATAR FIRST QUALIFYING
Losail (Qatar), Thursday 22nd February: The 2007 World Superbike season got
underway today for the Ducati Xerox Team with fifth and sixth quickest times
respectively for Lorenzo Lanzi and Troy Bayliss in first qualifying in Qatar.
Times were almost one second off the pace of last December's test session,
but today's qualifying session was a hard-fought affair as the top six riders
were all within half a second of each other.
Double world champion Bayliss took a bit of time to settle into the rhythm
and was not entirely happy with his first day's performance.
"Everything is not going so bad, but we're having just a few little problems
like getting the bike to do exactly what we want from when we tested here
last time" he declared. "The times are not really so bad, and we're not so far
off the front. It's just that everyone's riding really well at the moment and
I'm missing a little something and in these conditions it doesn't take much
to be down a couple of places because everyone's going very fast. We've got a
few things to think about, especially at the front where we're struggling a
bit but we'll try them tomorrow and hopefully I'll be a bit further up at the
front.
Lorenzo Lanzi on the other hand was enthusiastic about his fifth place on the
grid and was confident there was more to come.
"That wasn't bad for first qualifying but I can see that our rivals have got
a good race pace, especially Max, Nori and James. We had a few problems like
last year when it started to get warmer in the afternoon and for our
twin-cylinder Ducati these are the worst possible conditions because you start to
slide around at the rear. I'm happy that we've still got a few more things to
try and I'm sure we can set a good race pace seeing as we can make a few more
changes to the set-up. As for me, I feel much better after the winter, calm
and relaxed, we've done a lot of testing and that has helped me to get back
into form."

Hey gang,
I'm toying with the idea of selling my CCM 604 Supermoto. I don't want to,
but financial issues are pressuring me to get some quick cash. See
http://www.wemoto.com/gallery/CCM/UNCLASSIFIED/2001-604ESUPERMOTARD-0.jpgfor
a picture of a yellow one.
Mine's kind of multi-colored, with black rear panels, a silver headlight
fairing and a white fender. It looks pretty cool, if you ask me.
Mechanically top-notch with stock 604cc Rotax motor. 53hp, with under 300
lbs dry.
Cosmetically it suffered a small low side with a few scuffs on the tank and
rear panel.
I'm looking for $5K. Let me know if you're interested and i'll email
pictures.
Thanks,
Garth
