History
Second Owner Purchased beginning of last year. Section8 Ducati built the motor (Ducati dealer before the partners split) Valves done by Renaissance Ducati in Tucson AZ. 10,9xx total miles on the bike. 7,500 street miles then the motor was rebuilt with all the stuff listed plus all new bottom end bearings (since they were already in there).
Renaissance Ducati was last in the bike at 9,954 miles in Oct 07. New belts, valve clearances checked and ok (all done 1000 miles ago). Bike has some race, street and track day miles on it. Only 1st year issues the 999 had were bad fork seals on the Showas. As you can see, this bike has the Ohlins R&T forks on it. Have the original Ducati “red” key and one black key with ignition (easily put back on bike)
Just needs street fairings and you can ride it on the highway.
Engine Work Explained
This motor build isn't considered high performance. Spent a bunch of time talking with Section8 Ducati about reliability. That's why we didn't go really high compression, kept the valves the original sizes (just port and polish), and only did crank lightening and balancing. The bulk of the extra power comes from the compression boost and the cam profile (more lobed to let more air in and exhaust out). Since the cases were split, Section8 replaced all the bottom-end bearings - so this should be it for life.
We could have gone the next step which is to lighten rotating mass and then use a different ECU to bump up the red line. This produces even more power, but that starts to effect reliability. I don't have the budget for a motor rebuild every year, so wanted a small bump to help make it more competitive with the newer bikes. The goal was to never have to worry about an engine rebuild again.
When Renaissance Ducati had it in for a valve check back in October 2007, the only problem was the exhaust cam on the vertical cylinder. Steve didn't like how it felt when he rotated it by hand, so he was asked to replace everything. The other valves remained in spec, and there has been no nasty bits in the oil screen or on the magnetic sump plug. You should not have to do anything beyond standard maintenance on this bike.
She'll sit and idle all day, even immediately after starting without choke. This bike will idle without missing a beat.
The bike does run on 91 pump. The maps are different, the U4.2 map was made by Section8 Ducati, the 91 octane was mapped by ESP (team that sponsors Chris Peris in AMA). Both work well, but the U4.2 has a crisper response rolling on throttle.
On the U4.2 the bike was dynoed at 143 hp to the rear. Roughly 140 hp to the rear on 91.
I have changed the oil with Synthetic every two track days, along with the filter. Bike currently has NTEC slicks on it and I will be sure they have plenty of life on them for you. This is a turn key bike and will make a great race/track or street bike for anyone!
The Bad
The bike has been down. It was at a high speed but only on one side (didn't flip), just slid. Frame is straight and no visible signs of damage other than on the swing arm (thank god for sliders). Swing arm has been sprayed and ya wouldn't see it unless I pointed it out.
