No such thing. Best results will be from taking your bike to a dealer who's experenced with these bikes and have them tune it correctly.

If you can change the title of the thread ....................................... you should

we need more info, who set the bike up, shop/previous owner ?? was it setup/derestricted properly which map are you running YOU should look into the G2 throttle cams I think the tire will work, but all my expeirence is with the SXV

bumping. like to know i there are big defferences between the 2010 before i buy

On your roadracer I assume? what external gearing are you running? I'm guessing you're running as tall as you can, but you're still running out of gear? I feel your pain. Had similar probs last year, but not on an SXV. I threw in the towel.

what exactly are u lookin for Karl. I did my tail section in Black/blue carbon/kevlar. Wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. looks o.k. for first try but not to my satisfaction. After I get moved in a couple of weeks and get another project bike done I think I will try again at it. Learn from the mistakes I made the first time(I hope).

06' - 07's had a sealant issue - coolant/oil implode issue aka "orange sealant" motors- (A high percentage of 550's with orange case sealant failed) Most, if not all 08's (black sealant) have been fine- mine has 2300 raped ape miles on it... a lot of other issues were from folks messing up the oil changes (overfilling) is #1 aka "oil in airbox" "problem.

pm'd....

The Ducati is a sexy “commuter/weekend” asphalt machine, not anything else. Yet money aside, you would not even want to take into the dirt, as it’s a heavy pig. It just looks cool, that’s all. Ever look that the placement of the footpegs on the Duc? Old school Triumph in my eyes, and I've owned and have a few Ducati's presently, I love the looks, and sure it's a reliable machine, but that's...

sorry to hear about getting rid of the goodies but man you gotta keep the carbon wheels those are so badass!

haven't done any bike wheels, but I just did my A4 winter rims, only been about a month now but so far so good

Foam in the sight glass tube???? I recently changed the oil in my sxv 550 and i over filled the oil and ran it in to the airbox wooops... so i started the whole process over and got the oil to the sight glass but it looks a little foamy is this normal or what????

i used to ride our shops 2007 sxv 450 around and LOVED it!!!! im hoping to get a sxv550 soon

Looks good. A two stroke twin would be a blast! The engine fits in the frame rails nice. The countershaft looks a little inboard though. The rz probably did not have the tire width of the sxv. Maybe you could extend the sprocket somehow or make an outboard bearing. 100 hp would not be excessive, unless it was very peaky, then it would be too much. I imagine the rz engine is very light. ...
