Had the opportunity to pick up some high compression pistons for my Ducati Monster from JD at Hord Power in Ohio. Solid Midwestern guy that was patient and answered a TON of questions. These pistons would give my little baby a bit more OOMMPHH. Scary thing it was going to require me to completely disassemble the motor. I can barely even get my lawnmower to start, so what am I even thinking about doing with my bike?? Well, one thing lead to another and my friends Denny (Dr Speed on Truckblog) and Matt decided that it was a good thing to pull the bike apart. So, off came the seat, tank, battery box, airbox, throttle bodies, heads and cylinders.
While the heads here off I thought it would be a good idea to clean all the carbon build up after 24K miles. They were pretty gunky, so I VERY gently scraped the stuff off and used a scotchbrite pad and some 2000 grit wet/dry paper to really smooth things out.
