2001 Ducati 748 redux + Analog gets some digital.
I bought a 2001 Ducati 748s a while ago and performed a 90% tear-down and began restoring and rebuilding. I decided to capture my work mid-way into it. Not intended to be a how-to, but happy to share any process or detail if you want to reach out and ask me.
January 2025
Smooth chatter.
Keeping the open cover clutch because I am a fan hearing the chatter. Not a fan of the abrubpt actuation of the stock clutch.
To the rescue, a YOYODYNE slipper clutch , full assembly (plates not shown). This will make stop and go riding and downshifting while cornering a night and day difference. I know this because I wrote this after it was installed! Quite superb.
February 2025
Heat shielding / AZ-proofing.
Thermal shielding under cans/seat, crankcase breather w/upgraded breather valve (replacing stock which has reportedly cracked for some, and caused castastrauphic grease fires). I went through all lines, replaced all fuel lines including an improper rated in-tank tube (was not submersilbe rated - and was deteriorating). Thermal shielded all the fuel lines from tank to throttle body and back.
Rerouted and cleaned up electric, brake, breather, and vaccuum lines.
Late February 2025
Stopping is a good thing.
Upgraded all brake and clutch lines with braided lines, Rizoma reservoirs top it off… get it?
