Check your choke adjustment. Sound to me like the choke is coming on. Loosen the choke adjustment and see if it still does it.

I assume your trying to fit a different wheel,
the bearing change may work if the bearing width is the same, otherwise you will run into problems with the internal spacer and speedo drive

Sounds like you need a good screw.(to hold the pedal on)
I assume you have replaced the brake pedal, and it is the brake light that is flashing not the tail light.
there should be small electrical brake switch that the pedal has to push to turn the light off, when the brake lever returns to its normal position, this switch is adjustable,
There is also the posibility of the switch being damaged when the pedal fell off.

The caliper slides off the rotor without having to take the caliper apart. It's usually held on with two bolts. Need to support the caliper from the chasis with something akin to a coat hanger to keep tension of the brake line.

Strip and clean carbs, I had the same problem and that's how I fixed it. Take the carb to bits then soak all the bits in clean petrol (or prpsi believe it or not) for 1/2 an hour.

plus look in ducatisti.co.uk which is a free ducati web for all ducati bikes

going to a 42 tooth rear which I'm hoping will fit with a 15 front has anyone managed this without lengthening the chain? i also need the torque settings for the rear wheel axle and sprocket retaining bolts does anyone have them to hand please? TIAI have the 15/42 on mine, it is tight but you should have between 5-10mm of your chain adjustment bolt sticking out of the locknut once it is on and adjusted,,,

You have this posted in the car and truck problem category. Please re-post.

Under the dust seal. Slide that down to check what is going on with the oil seal.

When you remove the bolt at the bottom you can remove the cartridge and then remove the tube. Sometimes it's not easy to get it past the oil seal.

You can cut plastic sandwich bag and put that over the fork tube prior to sliding on the new seal (which needs to be well lubricated) to get past the sharp lip on the end of the tube

vac pipe on worng *** on tank

Brazing (Gas Welding) is the best way to fix that.

When your 2016 Ducati X Diavel doesn't start, there are several steps you can take to try and diagnose and resolve the issue. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can follow: 1. Check the battery: Ensure that the battery is charged and in good condition. Check the battery connections to make sure they are secure and clean. If the battery is weak or faulty, consider charging or replacing it. 2. Ignition switch and kill switch: Verify that the ignition switch is turned on and the kill switch is in the "Run" or "On" position. Sometimes, these switches can accidentally get bumped or turned off, preventing the bike from starting. 3. Fuel level and fuel delivery: Confirm that there is enough fuel in the tank. Additionally, check for any clogged fuel filters or fuel lines that may be restricting fuel flow. If necessary, clean or replace these components. 4. Kickstand position: Some motorcycles have a safety feature that prevents the engine from starting if the kickstand is down. Ensure that the kickstand is fully retracted and try starting the bike again. 5. Spark plugs: Examine the spark plugs for any signs of fouling, wear, or damage. If needed, clean or replace the spark plugs according to the manufacturer's specifications. 6. Fuses: Inspect the fuses to see if any have blown. Replace any blown fuses with the appropriate type and rating. 7. Immobilizer system: If your Ducati X Diavel is equipped with an immobilizer system, ensure that the key you are using is programmed correctly and recognized by the system. Consult your owner's manual for specific instructions on the immobilizer system. If the issue persists after these steps, it is recommended to consult a professional Ducati technician or authorized Ducati service center. They will have the expertise and specialized diagnostic equipment to diagnose and resolve the problem with your 2016 Ducati X Diavel.
