yes the day has finally arrived where my 906 starts to get stripped down for a good going over and clean and rebuild. its gonna take a little while so i've just bought a 1997 ST 2 IN GREAT CONDITION to get me through the winter and do some long journeys and touring on. im very pleased with the new purchase and it takes the pressure off the paso which i,ve owned for four years and have really enjoyed as a "within a hundred miles if its dry" bike. she never let me down except when the starter motor croaked big time. other than that she just kept on pulling. an oil leak prompted this rebuild and i figured the bike needed a rest and some tlc before the spring. i,ll get some pictures up off before durring and after as i go and will probably drive a few people mad with requests of advice help and parts. engine will come out this weekend. the oil is leaking from below both exhaust manifolds and could well have happened when she got really hot one time. she does not like being in heavy traffic and this once she got well hot. its a shame as the oils only 1000kms old. but it could have been worse! i intend to keep the bike "original" as i got her. the paint is a respray that is black and gold and looks great. the carbs are del orto with some cheap conical plastic air filters. the silencers are boscat and pretty much straight through. they sound lovely but pop a bit at low revs. full credit to the previous owner who had her set up pretty good as she always ran and pulled like only a 906 can.
, Nice bike
