Kryptonite Disc Lock

Broward Motorsports was kind enough to throw in the Kryptonite disc lock for Sunsquirt. It has a 5.5 mm pin that fits the vent holes on your rotors. This way, I’ll keep my bike safe from evil thieves. It’s nothing compared to LoJack, but it’s something. It is especially crucial for anyone with a bike in Florida to secure their bike because bike thefts are more prevalent here.

The disc lock provides safety from theft by locking, obviously, the disc on your wheel so that if they try and ride away your bike they will damage it. Also If they try and open the lock with a different key the key will break in the lock. We all know how easy it is to steal, so this will serve as a warning. Take at the very least this step toward protecting your baby. The cost is under 30 dollars so it won’t break your pocket like a stolen bike.

    Ducati Race Cams & Big Bore Kit

    On my never ending quest for more power, I enlisted the help of Ducati guru Mr. McDonald over at Hattar Motorsports, and he suggested installing Ducati Race Cams and a Fast By Ferracci piston kit. This should get the maximum power from my Hypermotard’s air-cooler DS1000 motor.

    Of course, the cams also came with a Ducati race ECU calibrated for use with the camshafts and a full race system. Good thing I have the Remus system installed already. This is perfect, I can get my first service done as well.

    Anywho, on to the video!

      Part III – Mysterious Oil Leak

      First off, much props to Jorge for the bike pickup from my office and for taking me by Werkstatt, where he charmed a bolt from Jen for the rearset linkage. So now we’re at Jorge’s and we’re ready to get the alternator cover off and change the gasket. First step is to drop the oil. I won’t go through that since Alex already went over it on his oil change video.

      One thing to note on the removal of the alternator case, is that it’s also magnetized. So removing it is a bit tricky. Rather than use a flathead to pry it off the bike and possibly create a seal problem with the new gasket, we recommend using a rubber mallet and tap it little by little until it gives you an edge to pull it off. Once it’s off we recommend taking a digital picture so you can put everything exactly where it should be, with particular attention to the wiring. Also, you should be very careful to keep the stator clean from any debris. We simply tied a plastic bag around it. Next use a razor to remove the old gasket and clean off any pieces of it that might be on the bike or the casing. Be sure that when you’re scraping that you don’t make any slices into the metal!

      Now the gasket: First, make sure you find a clean flat surface and use a large piece of paper to place under the gasket. Next, you want to make sure that you put the gasket sealant on the correct side of the gasket. You will be putting the gasket onto the casing, not directly on the bike. Be sure to give the gasket a good amount of sealant and evenly coat it as best you can.
