Won't start

I recognise this is a difficult question to answer but here goes.... Finally got around to changing the belts on my Saturno. Imported it over a year ago into Australia. Didn't start it as recommended until belts changed. Got all the right gear and thought I did it correctly according to the manual i...

OK, I forgot my camera :oops: but the parts are brand new. I can't read Italian very well but its a kit. Three graphs are shown, standard, one with the piston (571cc ?) and one with piston and cams. Strangely no markings on the vertical axis but it looks like at least a 15-20% difference in the peak...

Performance kits available

I have found the original distributor of Saturno's here in Australia has a number of performance cams and factory 560cc big bore kits available. His name is Ian Gowanloch and he used to own the large Ducati performance shop here in Sydney. I have ordered one for my Saturno but thought others on the ...

Help needed

I have just got myself a Saturno and need some help on getting parts. Firstly thanks to Gottfried who has been very helpful in getting many parts. But I need some more (and advice) fork seals, does anyone know if there is another Italian bike that has the same fork seals. I can probably get them her...

Joachim, many thanks. Yes I guess I viewed the timing belt as more maintenance than modification. I haven't started it and don't intend to until I've changed all the fluids, checked all the connections etc and done the belt. I have already emailed Gottfried and Volker and am waiting on a reply. Dale...
