I’ve been following this restoration and had a couple of questions for you. Are the Indian cranks not rebuildable? Also looked up Hitchcocks site for cranks and they did not list one for this vintage cast iron 350. Are the NLA?

As long as nobody lies and says "efi isnt resistant to EMP", Im fine with listening to anything. For folks who don't know... EMP effects things based on the length/thickness of wires. Like an antenna. You cellphone, car, radio, desktop PC, gaming console... as long as they aren't plugged into the grid... theyre literally immune to EMP. You need MILES of thick cables before a device even CAN be effected by EMP. But that won't stop internet apocalyptards from inserting their nonsensical bs into any conversation about analogue vs electrical.

What’s the name and size of the wrench to tighten?

@Cyclingwithgasoline Ай бұрын

@@gruhnchris I’m not sure of a specific size. It’s just a large hub Ducati chain adjuster specific to this and comparable models like the Panigale V4. I think I got it from BellissiMoto. However, a lot of large “generic” wrenches for single sided swingarms should also work. A lot are out there from eBay to Motomillion.com and so on.

i have the same bike same color but without ABS bought it in 2018 i have replaced my mirror with touring mirrors from RE, till 80kmph the shake is very nominal as compared to the stock ones, but they do vibrate post 80kmph and are unusable beyond that mark.

@@Cyclingwithgasoline I get what you’re saying, but for any neophyte watching your videos, you don’t even mention or suggest a Torque wrench or specs, especially with the Ducati Magnesium pan. I been riding over 40 yrs, and on my 32nd Bike in my lifetime. I guarantee some heavy handed idiot will over tighten such a drain plug, wheee a $60 oil change will cost them $2000+😮 I’m on the fence of trading my Triumph Rocket-3 🚀 for a V4S, that how I found your channel. 👍

@Cyclingwithgasoline Ай бұрын

@@elithegreat6463 Yes, there are definitely heavy handed amateurs out there. I’ve seen it first hand. I did explain that it’s magnesium and care needs to be taken. Snug, but NOT too tight and I demonstrated. I find torque specs can be a double edged sword at times with them being listed higher than necessary and even potentially dangerous as far as damaging the pan, threads, etc. Hopefully my demo is adequate and I’m always happy to answer questions from viewers. AND, I can’t even find a reliable torque spec for it. The best I can run down is 20Nm for the drain plug, but I’ve seen it listed as high as 40Nm - again, these discrepancies can do more harm than good. Oh, and I’ll add that the V4 is more fun than the Rocket 3 for sure. I’ve ridden the Triumph and it’s an amazing package of engineering, but unless you cruise a lot on the highway, the Ducati will give you so much more.

@@Cyclingwithgasoline My Rocket sure draws a crowd, people see it, and first think it's a 6-cylinder ,and just love looking at it. It rides great, there's enough torque to stop the rotation of the planet. I have a 2024 Tiger 900=GT-Pro as well, and I just need something sporty, so the V4 is on the top of my list, to balance the GT-Pro figure if i'm going to replace a Beast like the Rocket, might as well get an equally amazing Bike like the V4. I'm 62 but feel 32, so a Sporty ride is still in my Blood. Be well, and Ride Safe

I rode an EFI bike once and many carb bikes, and I'd say that EFI works much smoother at all range of RPM. According to the video, I'd say buy an EFI bike if you don't want to tinker with it.

@matthayse8284 Ай бұрын

So many fallicies here. Changing carb jetting on a multi-carb bike is neither cheap or particularly easy. And God help you if you mess up the settings or your jets are a tiny bit out of spec because you are going to be buying a synchronizer. I can drain the tank on my injected bike in exactly the same way that I can on my carburated bike. And finally, you do have a point about the kickstarter. Of course I can throw a small jump pack in my saddlebag to give me backup for a dead battery. Nothing wrong with carburators, but, I'll take EFI any day of the week.

@Cyclingwithgasoline Ай бұрын

@@matthayse8284 EFI is objectively better, no question. And I was admittedly referring to a single carb bike. For me, when everything is working well, there’s nothing like a carbureted bike. Just such an organic feel.
