How do you like your Duck? roasted or qued? not my ride, but this is why you do not route the FUEL LINE inches from the exhaust, great engineering Ducati. . . .

 

I blame the stickers for the Duc fire Haven'e seen that happen to one of ours yet

 

yea it is pretty sad, why the owner would put random stickers all over it I don't know.
I think that this is quite a rare case. . .

 

Anyone douchey enough to slather a 999 with all those stupid stickers was probably not too hot on maintenance.. There are no fuel lines way back under the seat. The pump sits forwards a few inches from the back of the tank.. Fuel lines are certainly nowhere near the exhaust.. - Run straight from pump to airbox between cylinders.. The closest the pipes get to the tank is something like 7 or 8 inches.. The fuel pump / lines are still another 2 or 3 inches forward of that.. Either he had a leaky line and fuel was SPRAYING back there as he was riding (Which - any moto would **** fuel all over its own exhaust w/ a leak at the tank)- or he didn't reconnect the drain hose on the overflow from the filler cap and overfilled the **** outta it and that fuel sprayed back there...

The only duc I am aware of with a fuel - exhaust possible issue is the Desmo - and that was handled on a TSB.



In other words.. TOTAL user error. - Poor Duc deserved better.

*Edit - looking at that rear tire - dude couldn't ride either... So what he lacked in skill he was probably attempt to compensate for in "hadrcore" stickers. Squid. - Actually.. That bikes looks familiar as hell for some reason.

 

pretty bad huh? huge chicken strips!! I was pretty sure my boss said that it was a burst in a fuel line or a gas leak that found its way to the hot exhaust. . . .
