Raptor Chapter

Thanks JL, I'll look into that. They are a pretty good crew at Staintune (have 'em on the Rap too). It'll be a while before I can do anything that costs $$, but in the meantime she's still rideable and then there's always the Rap to play with 8) It's magpie swooping season here at the moment and I a...

Not sure what you're after here.... Power tools? They are always cool. If some are good, more are better 8) My latest cool tool is a Dremel :D ... love it. I couldn't live without the platform lift for tinkering with the motorcycles 8) The Rap, the Ducati and the 1974 GT Capri....... they make me sm...

Runs With Scissors . There's a good Ducati forum here in the U.K. www.ducatisti.co.uk There's a few from Australia on there , may be help locating new part's ... Ta, I've signed up 8) I love my Raptor, but have had a 23 year love affair with my pretty little Pantah. I got a major bollocking from my...

Before.... (as in just minutes before.....)



The right side still looks like this... but the left.... not ... bugger!

Yup, that's the attitude I've always taken, can't trust the buggers..... But... well I guess I f*cked this time :roll: I had been having a great ride, nothing frantic just a nice relaxing outting around some of my favorite roads 8) All was good with the world... then.....pffftttt.... Oh... and you c...

Sometimes I think that if I had a duck it would drown I've spent the last few weeks doing a heap of little maintenace jobs on the trusty Pantah. I've had her 23 years and, apart from a wee bingle that left me with fractured C2 & C3, things have been pretty smooth. I managed to get a set of heade...

45,000km
Can't see any reason why it shouldn't equal my old Duke (170,000km) without a problem.

Yes.. they will fit.
I have them on my Rap & they are fine.
Only difficulty fitting was removing the threaded insert for the barends from inside the bars......

Almost never have negative comments from Duck owners. Although there have been a few from wannbe's.... go figure. If I can be bothered I put them straight...... Duck Monster = designed in house by Cagiva (Miguel Angel Galluzzi). Cagiva Raptor = designed in house by Cagiva (Miguel Angel Galluzzi). Ho...

dont worry about them squabbling - they are italian so can't disagree without much arm waving and hand gestures - steering lock on and they can't ;) LOL... I had use of a Morini Corsaro for a few days last month. When I parked it in the garage, between the Duke & The Raptor, I told them all qui...

Wanna do the same? Hop onto TLPlanet & have a look for stuff by 'Vandriver' under Group Buys. He makes the clear clutch covers in batches when he has enough orders (order now, pay later). It took about 6 months waiting until he had enough for me to get mine .... but it's worth the wait. The cove...

Hey, hello folks. At last I have the billet clear clutch cover (& pressure plate) on the bike... I reckon it looks great and only took minutes to swap the parts. Many thanks to Vandriver from TLPlanet... the man is a God! Check it out. http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb65/LawnMoaMan/Raptor200...

Here's a pic of the bike on the stand....

I use an Anderson bike stand, made here in Australia. Since there is no place on the Raptor to instal bobbins, a la Jappa sportbikes, I use the generic pads that should also come with any new paddock stand. Another way that I have considered is to make up a rod with the bobbins attached and pass thi...

Hey, Has anybody else noticed this? The owners manual that came with the bike has a major error in the torque setting for the sump plug :shock: The figure is correct for the 'other' languages.... but in the English section it has 39 ft-lb. :!: That's a hell of a lot of force for a sump plug! The Ita...
