900SS Dual Plug Conversion with 966 kit
Dr. Ron Perry tinkers on his 95 900SS as a form of therapy to unwind from the stresses of his emergency care clinic and his 18 month old child. It started when his headlight went out and he decided to replace the headlamp connector. Once fixed he moved down the bike looking for other things to replace and improve and before long he’d striped the bike to the frame, deciding to start from scratch.
Having owned it from new, the former AMA roadracer was adamant to resort the Ducati to the nth degree. While he sent the frame to the powdercoaters and began fabricating carbon parts he dropped his motor at Ducshop for a 966 big bore kit and blue-print. We converted the engine to dual plug so he could run a higher compression and we ported the heads with 44mm intake valves, putting in fresh bearings as we went.
Ron had already installed Keihin flat slides, which we enhanced with an Ignitech adjustable ignition tuning program that we tuned after jetting the carbs. We also replaced the fuel filters with larger K&Ns. Ron had promised Lorin that the 12 yo bottle of scotch he’d receive at the job’s end would increase a year for every horsepower he gained over the 83 he’d started with.
A 21 year old bottle of Macallan changed hands on delivery.
Note: the horsepower runs start with a stock 900SS run (not this 900) then Perry’s first run after the engine modifications and finish with the bike after the jetting, fuel ignition and filter changes.
