Re: Black 9 1/2

Speed sensor failed on my scrambler so I bought "NEW GENUINE DUCATI 749 BIPOSTO 2003-2006 SPEEDOMETER SENSOR 55240373A" from ultimate parts worldwide on eBay for just under £70 - apart from the cable being a bit longer it arrived next day & seems to work fine.

Oil change shenanigans

Well an oil filter & change is pretty simple, but to do the job properly to check & clean the oil strainer, the bash plate has to come off, which can't be removed without removing the side stand and then the side stand switch has to come off to reveal the hidden bolt that is still holding th...

Re: Black 9 1/2

Think they are pretty generic bar the cable length & fitting - looks similar to the one on my Guzzi 1200 sport

Re: Black 9 1/2

Seeing as I've just lost the Speedo on my scrambler & checking on here, seems like Speedo sensor failure is quite common 😕 but that said could be an easy fix 🤞

Re: Black 9 1/2

Seems cheap & appears to have just obtained an MOT, I'd buy it for spares just in case but already have too many bikes. Carmo should be able to sort out the non displaying clocks too. Let us know if you go for it.

Rear light wiring??

So the brake light works fine, the side lights work fine and the headlight works fine but the tail light only works with side lights & not with the headlight, which is rather odd. Any ideas what I should start looking at?
