Ducati Desmoto. DONE! After 5.5 years and more than 2,000 hours of designing, engineering, fabrication and development, the build was finally complete. What an insane journey this has been. I learned an enormous amount, overcame plenty of challenges and made some...
Final engine development and ECU remapping! Over nearly 200 km of dyno testing and around 80 runs, we refined the setup and mapping step by step. The final result was 112 hp and 123 Nm at the rear wheel from the air-cooled Ducati 1100DS 2-valve engine. After these...
What has been done to the engine? The engine originally is a Ducati 1100DS with a wet clutch from a Multistrada 1100. However in essence only the casting of the cases, cylinders and heads are original. All the rest has been modified. Pistal high compression pistons...
This is it. The end of the build log with a finished Ducati Desmoto! Enjoy these amateur shots of the project while at the top of this build log you can find the most sexy professional shots of the project. It truly has been a pleasure sharing this amazing journey...
While tuning and mapping on the dyno I wanted to try to extract as much power and torque as possible. Your intake channel is crucial in achieving this. Because of this I deep dived into the Rabbit hole of velocity stack theory. I designed multiple velocity stacks with...
Running in the Ducati Desmoto on the dyno for the first 100km. Max 30% throttle… Checking surface temperatures etc. Yes it gets hot, but all good and manageable so far!! However not all is perfect and that is also is something that needs to be shared! I was...
