Pro Shift Kit

Love the bike? Except for the shifting? Need a 1-2 hour winter project?

Factory Pro's famous Pro Shift Kits are now available for the Ducati Twins.

Improved Factory Pro designed and manufactured Microbearing Detent Arm and Factory Pro Detent Spring will firm up shift feel and virtually eliminate missed shifts - both upshifting and downshifting.

Eliminates the need for that old, annoying "ducati trick" of removing the "really kinda necessary" neutral detent that was done to quicken up the shifting on trackday and race bikes - all too often...... (did I mention that when I put a bike in neutral, that I really prefer it to STAY in neutral and not "wander into 1st gear by itself on the dyno? :-)

Shifts quicker.
Misses fewer shifts.
Feels RIGHT.
Perfect to install when working on the clutch.

Remove the clutch assembly, remove the RH engine cover  - bolt in the kit.

Includes: Factory Pro Microbearing Detent Arm and Factory Pro Detent Spring.
(This kit does not include a clutch cover gasket)

Installation: Less than 2 hours to install with impact wrench and large socket set.

Can I install it myself?
Yes - If you can remove the clutch assembly, you can do this.
 

 

CRB-D12-1.1-TI  $99.95
 Standard drop-in carb kit

Adds more low-end / midrange, if the proper main jet is selected, more top-end power. Easy to install and tune - no slide drilling!
Suggest using a BMC replacement air filter for increased airflow.

you sent me (overnite, thank you very much!) the ducati 900ss kit last month with needle jets (I also sent you the pix of my naked ST with a factory pro jet kit) and jeee-zusss! It may as well be a new bike. Float levels were 2-3mm high and once adjusted and everything installed, the bike was perfect _ started immediately idles smoothly and pulls hard.
The owner used to wear a bandolier of fresh plugs cuz she'd replace em every 80 miles or fewer in the front cyl...your kit (and setting float levels) made a huge diff.
Thanks;

Hi!

I just put on the Ti Pro carb kit and the emulsion tubes on my M900. After spending a few hours finally my bike runs as a really Monster. Having trying other carb kit in the past with no success in performance i need to say thanks for the information on your website and recommend the FACTORY PRO CARB KIT as the ONLY kit that really works and solves problems!

CRZ-EMU-100120K
$48 for 2 pieces


International buyers will be billed additional $16 for shipping

Replace worn bare brass needle jets in stock carbs with Factory Pro's own stock replacement nickel plated needle jets.

The needle, stock or aftermarket, will wear the needle jet orifice oblong - causing excess fuel to flow at cruise and low rpm. Additionally, the fuel that does get released is in larger, less burnable droplets. Replace the emulsion tubes / needle jets if there is more than 10k miles of varied use or 5k miles of in town driving on the bike before trying to tune. You will save time and energy.

Note that, with fuel level adjustments, you can make some mixture adjustments with the "fuel level", as adjusted by "float height" changes.

ND-X24epr-ZU9
Platinum Tip Spark PlugsWe stock and distribute
Denso spark plugs.
Dealer inquiries invited.~$10 USD		 Denso (ND, Nippon Denso) is the largest OEM supplier for autos and motorcycles of electrical components in the world. Sometimes, people forget that Denso makes pretty darn good spark plugs, too! Wide heat range properties discourage plug fouling at low speed AND overheating at high speed.
We have been using Denso spark plugs in our AMA Supersport bikes since Denso was Nippon Denso and ND. We have found that some standard, <$10, off the shelf, Denso spark plugs work as well as $125 special spark plugs - on a professional roadrace level!
Codes:
X = 12mm thread with 18mm spark plug wrench required
24 = Heat range. (Hint - it is ~3x NGK #. I.E. an "8" heat range in NGK)
E = 3/4" reach
P = Projected tip type plug
R = Resister type internal construction
Z = Thin platinum center electrode w/ tapered ground (side) electrode
U = "U Groove" side electrode for better spark and finally..
9 = is "pregapped" at .9mm (I think you should check all "pregapped" plugs before you install them...That's my paranoia showing.)

Got your jet kit for my 1997 M900 ducati (stock airbox with full ducati performance exhaust), installed it "drop it" using base settings (middle clip and 145 main jet, 42.5 pilot) using your new plated needle jets and this bike FINALLY runs perfect! I have been fighting with jetting this thing for weeks and is probably why this bike only had 3500 miles on it. Ran like crap at part throttle cruise (missing and stumbling) and weak power unless wide open over 4500 RPM and ran out of juice at 6500. Now it pulls strong everywhere and runs smooth as silk. Thanks again for a great product!

And tell Marc that Stuart Anderson says hey. :-)

My God! It's a miracle!  Bless you, bless you! 
I've been fighting with this damn M900 jetting for nearly three years.  I've had the carburetors on and off and changed the jetting so many times that I could do it in the dark.  I've spent big money to have Ducati "experts" try their hands to no avail.  Even Dynojet, whose stage II kit I've been trying to use, had no solutions.  The general consensus was that this bike simply was not going to run cleanly a low throttle settings.  Crap!  How could this be?  Hell, they're just plain old Mikuni carburetors!  Then I stumbled onto your web site about worn emulsion tubes.  Praise be!  Your magic little emulsion tubes have cured every thing.  (Well, not everything but at least my Monster jetting troubles).  I now, after all these years, have a great running Ducati Monster.  I am , once again, a happy man.

Thanks,

Thanks for the springs.  Got them last week and installed the jet kit over the weekend along with new exhaust cans...it's like a whole new Monster.   Very impressed overall with the kit and your service.  I'll definitely recommend the kit to my friends.
 
Thanks again.

Float Height Setting Trick for 38 Mik's
One of the problems with setting the float height on the 38mm downdraft Mikuni's that come on Ducati's, yzf 750's, tdm 850's and fzr1000's, is that the darn white plastic "float cage" keeps popping out of the carb body unless you hold it in.

When you hold it in with your fingers, you always flex the cage frame and distort the reading that you are setting the float height at..... Aaarrggghhh!!  :-)

After spending 45 minutes setting some yzf750 carbs in the sweltering Mid Ohio heat of summer, I decided to make a float cage holder and sell 'em! I'd make a million  $$!!
When I got back to work, I set up and made a pile of cute little flat braces.

As I was sitting there, admiring my cleverness...... one of my parts guys wandered by and asked what was I making? I showed him that you could just take my clever little piece of aluminum and hold those float cages right tightly up into their seated position - so you could get consistent float height readings.
He says.....
It looks like you could just put the float bowl on with the front holes on the bowl lined up with the rear holes on the carb body and slap some screws in and it would do the same thing...........
I bought him lunch with the million $$ I didn't make....

Hello.  Here’s the pics you asked for!  Thanks for the help, the bike runs BEAUTIFULLY now, lots more power!  The front end now comes up on the throttle – whereas it didn’t before!  There’s another pic in there too where I used a bar code to measure the bowls.  I found this a lot easier than using a ruler.  I measured the bar next to the number “8” on my barcode to be the recommended height on my bike – 14mm.

-Mike Beary

Thanks Mike, for the pics!

Marin French Cheese Co., also known as The Cheese Factory and Rouge et Noir is not just the oldest cheese manufacturer in the country, but a vacationers and day trippers destination as well as a unique part of American History. Located north of San Francisco, east of Napa County, west of Pt. Reyes and Olema and south of Sonoma County, Marin French has produced hand crafted Artisan soft ripened cheese since 1865. Rouge et Noir cheeses are similar to French and European varieties but reflect the characteristics of Northern California, producing it's own regional style.


 
The extension of the laboratory for engines of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology was completed in about 1935. Its architect was Rudolf Otto Salvisberg (1882-1940). He had a successful career in Berlin but returned to Switzerland after the advent of the Nazis. His architectural style was somewhat similar to that of Erich Mendelsohn. The staircase of the laboratory is in normal use but well preserved.

Maybe in next rewrite, he'll fix the ignition timing and dyno chapters...
Otherwise great book with great starting ideas.
