Just wanted to post a replacement oil cap/plug option for the 08 te 610. Not sure if it will fit any others. I just received mine and it fits perfectly. it is a bit deeper (longer) but it does nto appear to interfere with anything. I ordered it from these guys. It took forever to find a vendor that could tell me the thread. I actually wanted the "OEM" style but that one was out of stock, so I opted for the curved. I don't have any miles on it yet but it appears to be a huge improvement over the stock plastic cap http://www.slingshotracing.net/catalog/ducati-cnc-oil-cap-p-14.html
I looked at the website, but nothing listed for Husky. Did you order the Ducati unit? Uptite has filler caps, as listed on the master aftermarket list. Let me know and i will add these guys.
Yes all Ducati 2000+ except 848 and 749R use the same thread as the Husky 08 Te610. Not sure what other Husky's are the same. Must be a popular thread in Italy... The thread is M22 x 1.5mm.
=UPTITE Racing Makes one that is a work of art! I got mine and the coolant Y today- amazing stuff! It might be kinda blingish' but I bet its function is flawless too- I don't have a pic but its on his site- home page in the products window- have to buy via phone & COD still.... my UPS guy was like are you friggen kidden me? I went to lunch and sure enough- a UPS slip- I tracked him down at Culver's eating his lunch- I sat doun next to him and said I need my stuff man! He put doun the sandwich... I could tell he liked my enthusiasm. I can't wait for George's site to work!!! http://uptitehusky.com/
I can confirm that the Slingshot Racing oil cap does clear the clutch, even with its extra length. Zero problems, zero leakage. It's a win in my book.
+1 it works great! My stock cap always wept a bit and it just annoyed me. It was getting harder and harder to get the threads to start straight. Over time I think the heat of the motor softens the plastic threads and they loose their shape. As the threads get deformed the seal gets worse and worse. I am sure I would have eventually cross threaded mine. Joe
I am NOT 100% , but I think 2006-2008 610's are the same. Or you could drive around and find a 2000-2008 Ducati (not a 848 or 749R these are different) and try the oil cap if it fits you are in business.
Hi Palmczak from the Western slope :ride: I caved in to the Uptite drones and got in line for one of George's. Should be here tomorrow .
Where on the western slope? I like the uptite cap. I just wanted to be different. half the cost was OK too.
