Howdy folks! I'm looking to solve a bit of a riddle. A 2011 Ducati 848 EVO seems to have 'lost' a substantial amount of coolant. The bike started to run hotter than normal this week. I checked the coolant expansion tank; empty! I check to see how much was in the radiator; about half full...

So, I'm putting a set of new boots on an 848 evo. I've done this twice before and the rear wheel nut has been hard but not impossible to loosen. Today is not the case. I cannot get the nut to budge. The torque wrench I'm using is at 332 Nm and it clicks so the nut is on tight! Any...

Howdy Folks! My question is about meat, specifically ostrich. Does anyone know of a reputable source of ostrich meat? I'm looking to cook up something a little different on Friday :teeth Thanks BARFers!

I'm trying to gauge if there's any interest in a 2008 R1. The bike is in good condition with one small caveat; the engine is blown. The rest of the bike is fine. Never been in any incident. There are 64k miles on the clock. Is there any interest here in the BARF community? Feel free to PM...

Due to the unfortunate demise of my beloved 2008 R1 I'm in the market for a new stead to traverse the great roads of this country. I know BARF has the collective knowledge and wisdom to be able to provide answers to the questions I seek. So... What are the pros and cons of an Aprilia RSV4...

Howdy Folks! I'm back in the garage with a few questions about an apparent leak that has sprung on a Ducati 848 Evo (2011 with ~12k miles). It appears the leak might originate from the gasket at the bottom of the water pump and not from the hoses. That's where the white trail starts from...

Howdy Folks! This has also been posted in CRC for visibility. I have for sale a ticket for the COTA, Austin, TX MotoGP. It's for turn 15 grandstands Fri, Sat and Sun. I'm asking what it cost me, $180. You'll get to hang with fellow Barfers! PM me if interested and additional details.

Howdy folks! My question is not so much about the repair but what can lead to a coolant leak. My 2008 R1 (61,XXX miles) sprang a leak at the thermostat housing 3 weeks ago. I managed to isolate the leak to a perished O-ring in the thermostat housing. I replaced it last week with an OEM ring...

OK, I have a question about installation of the front brake caliper bolts for an 848 EVO. According to Ducati's service manual for this machine it states that Grease B (Shell Retinax HDX2; fith wheel grease) should be used and the bolts torqued to 45NM. I'm probably being paranoid. It seems...

Howdy Folks! I've not see a thread on this yet but delete/merge if necessary. CalTrans are currently repaving 84 from Porta Valley up to Alice's then toward La Honda for another 8 miles. After chatting to the lass who was controlling traffic it's apparent that there'll be working through to...

Howdy Folks, On my way into work this morning my 2008 R1 developed a worry some whining/whirring noise. I don't feel any loss of power but would like to have it looked at ASAP. My request to you, BARF, is for recommendations of reputable and trusted shops near the Palo Alto area that can...

Howdy Folks, I need some advice on how to remove the throttle bodies from my R1. As far as I can tell it's not possible :| I can access the throttle body clamp bolts for throttle body 1, 2 and 4 (left to right) but the bolt for number 3 is impossible to access. Has anyone successfully roved...

Howdy Folks, The chances of this message reaching the intended recipient are slim but I'll give it a try. If you have a brand new, red Ninja 650 with the dealer plates that is parked outside the Edwards building of the Stanford Medical School you've left your lights on. Hopefully it'll not...

Howdy Folks and a belated Happy New Year to you all! Foolishly whilst away on vacation for the last four weeks I decided to leave my bike standing with the battery in it in the cold and damp. Needless to say that after several attempts and a few choice words the bike wouldn't start. Quite...

Howdy folks! I just want to give peeps a heads up. Highway 84 from Portola Valley road through to La Honda is like an ice rink. I opted for the cage this morning as tires on my bike are worn and not suitable for wet riding. I was kind of kicking myself as it was a beautiful morning then I...

Howdy Folks! I was supposed to post this as soon as I got home due to a 'friendly' reminder by the hooved ones but I got distracted. I'm posting a reminder to look out for deer up in the hills. It's that time of year when deer start to wander and there's been an increase in deer activity...
