Ducati 600SS... Repairing the electrical issues.

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

A few electrical issues to be fixed on the 600SS. Is Italian electrics as scary as everyone makes out? Or is it just a myth?
I take you through how I go about fault finding every electrical issue on the 600SS.

    Wouldn’t be a 90s Ducati without a steady stream of electrical issues!👊 Just changed out the rectifier in my ‘97 600ss. Hey it’s a crime that you don’t have 10x the subs - enjoying your videos - keep it up!

    Thanks for the support. I watched all of your 600SS videos. It gave me motivation to get mine done. Hopefully it will be road ready in a week or two.

    Electrical work does my head in and I recon you saved yourself a fortune being a sparky and finding that unconnected ground wire. Well done 👍🏻 looking forward to seeing the finished product.

    That disconnected ground could of had me replacing more things than what was needed. Seen poor ground or disconnected grounds cause all sorts of havoc on motorcycles. Gets even worse when you have electronics involved.

    I love electronics. Before I was vlogging, my channel has hundreds of videos on amp repairs and troubleshooting electronics. When I was a bike mechanic, I loved fixing electrical issues.

    In the 90's, we had the 400SS available in Australia. Not many sold. They were two expensive for most learners and were quoted as being similar to a Kawasaki ZZR 250 in performance. Yet the Kwaka was half the price. If we had the LAMs laws when the monster 400 was first available in Japan, I bet we would have got it here too.

    Hi Matt I know this is an old video but I’m having an issue like yours with indicators. Checked everything and it’s all good. The only thing is I don’t have the fuel pump hitched up. Because it runs on the same circuit as the indicators would that be why the indicators aren’t working?

  • @RoadsOfOz

    If none of your indicators are working, I would check the flasher unit. Also make sure the ground wire (at the front of the bike ) has a good connection to the frame. Hope this helps.

    They can be a pest. What you think is a problem could be the result of an electrical fault elsewhere on the bike. Seen that quite a few times.
