Beat up, falling apart and lots of fun

14-03-2011, 08:21 PM

So heres my bike, I imported it from England in 07, due to issues with my old 620ie. She's a S4r first registered in 03. I think it was a display bike before the other lad had got it. Then I got my grubby hands on it, used it to commute and have fun at the weekends and random times.

36k Miles on her and she's in need of some TLC. The engine block needs to be repainted and the wheels could do with a new powder coat due to a clamper putting a clamp on the rear wheel.

Some mods I've done are: SilMoto cans, cat bypass, 48T STM clutch basket. I had a power commander and removed it, as I thought it was faulty. But it turned out to be the Data tool System 3 Alarm. Which I soon "fixed" However no I cant find my PCIII

See my Datatool System 3 fix here

I have some stuff on the way and here that need to be done to the bike. Will post up my plans in a bit. Need to go to the shops now

welcome! I like the blue and white ones. Looks like you have a few nice bits and pieces so some TLC will see it being a pretty sorted bike!

They're made to be ridden though, so well done for putting the miles on!

Ahhh! fond memories of playing golf at Kilkenny Golf Club on the Glendine Road. Lovely part of the world. Great choice of bike BTW & welcome. I didn't realise the EU bailout funds were deigned to buy Ducati's though.

Sush.... no one is meant to know that!

Yeah, so she has been off the road since November due to needing a new Chain an sprockets, New Battery, New plugs and a oil filter. Sadly outa work at the moment, so getting the cash to fix parts up is hard to come by.

I also have a lovely set of silver Callipers from a 999 (4pot 4 pad) to put on the front end. Just need to get a new set of Braided lines as the Banjos are side mounting on the new Callipers.

"Cmon the cats"
Great to here of a bike being used that much, so much for Duc's not being reliable enough to do big mileages on!

Clamping a bike? I hope said clamper suffered some retribution...

Nike bike though.

LOL Pete, I'm a lilly white my-self. A bit of a blow-in cause the partner is from kk.

As for the clamper, he got an earfull. Said I had parked in a disabled spot. However I was on the other side of the line markings for the spot (in the bike parking area). It was in UCD when I used to work there. Mine wasn't the only bike clamped that day.

I do like having a big kitchen

The CBR250rr is my partners, that I put a full tyga kit on for a few years back.

She was till the misses had an off in October gone. She needs some work done to the front end, new lights clutch leaver and screen. As well as a new set of header pipes as theres a hole in them now.

As for sports, nether really. But I will watch the the all Ireland finals when there on.
