A friend of mine just ordered new brushes for the starter of his Ducati 916. He measured the new ones to be 12mm long. The brushes on the DB2 where 9 and 10 mm respectively, so I decided not to change them. Maybe I should have changed them, but I've got a feeling that the brushes wasn't the problem.
Following that decition I reassembled the starter. It’s now overhauled with new ball bearing, repainted housing and new zinc plating on the screws. I tested the starter and it runs fine drawing about 20A at no load. Contact resistance between + terminal and ground is not measurable with my DVM. Hopefully it will work better than before!

This is the diary of my struggle with the restoration and riding of my Bimota DB2. Hopefully the reading can be interesting and inspiring for other DB2 owners all ower the world.
