Motorcycle specifications DucatiST3 1000 2007 Sport-GT tendance sport

farewell to the ST2. The one that paved the way for Ducati's sport-touring activities has been replaced by the new ST3. Three for three valves per cylinder. Engineers have taken the 1000 DS, which powers the Multistrada and Monster 1000, among others, and grafted onto it a cylinder head with 2 valves on the intake and one on the exhaust. The ST3 engine is also liquid-cooled. Power climbs to over 100 hp (20 more than the ST2) at the expense of torque, which drops by 1 mkg. Stylistically, only the design of the fork head has changed, and that's enough to give the machine a new personality. All to the great benefit of protection, which was the ST's main weakness. The new, classy dashboard offers a wealth of information, and the lighting adapts automatically according to outside light conditions. Another practical feature is the ingenious height-adjustment system for the exhausts: low position for stowing suitcases - high position to gain ground clearance when you decide to exploit the machine's sporting potential. The handlebar elements are also adjustable, as ergonomics play an increasingly important role in Ducati's drive to conquer new markets. After themultistrada, the ST3 is full of pleasant surprises.
The ST3 may have refined its road-going pretensions, but it doesn't betray its genes. The seat has been made more comfortable thanks to a thicker saddle; nevertheless, its consequent height will hardly enchant you when you have to put your foot down. The excessively tight turning radius and the twin's muted suppleness are not exactly conducive to city riding. Add to this a virile clutch, and you'll soon be heading for the main road to sample the real virtues of the new Bolognese tourer.

My 2nd 117500kms...loose embiellage on freeway...repaired, she's approaching 130000kms... Looking for a 3rd to complete my collection. Needless to say, I love this bike. Viva DUCATI ST3 and don't even get me started on the lack of reliability of these bikes!

Indeed, after many kilometers, the throttle body clamps loosen very quickly, with air intakes at the end! Guaranteed to sweat in small traffic circles when the bike is on the verge of stalling!
To remedy this problem, there's one obvious solution: "Prevent the clamps from loosening! "Lapalisse couldn't have said it better - LOL ......
It's been a year and a half now that these damn parts can't get loose!!! ..... It's absolute bliss!!! I can handle the city limit in 4 without a care! Who would have thought it .... ( not too much under 50 though lol )
Virtually no more detonation from the exhaust despite absorption mufflers without baffles !!!
Now that's an interesting modification!
For the rest I think everything has been said !!!
Bonne route à tous et tous ....

I think I have the same problem as you.
Could you show me the area where the collars are located (with photos for example) and tell me what your solution is?

Est il possible d\'être en relation avec \'ducateman\'.
I have just registered on the site under the speudo \'\'spoky\'\'.
Thank you in advance. Rating : 5/5 Participate in the conversation
I'll try to explain it here!
The clamps are located under the air box and under the "injection". There are no other clamps in the center of the engine!
You'll need two 7" open-end wrenches and 4 nuts (M5 I think) for this operation
A word of advice: ALWAYS put the fuel tank on its stand!
There you are Spoky, I hope I've enlightened you a little
A minimum of knowledge is still necessary to carry out this operation.

Thanks for your help; it will allow me to check the tightness in the area.
I've already changed the air filter, which allowed me to see the little stand. This should be done when the tank is 3/4 empty to avoid a shower.
Thanks again; I'll keep you posted.

The only drawback is that this bike eats up wheel bearings (every 25,000 km at the front, twice that at the rear) and steering column bearings (every 40,000 km), and that Ducati overhauls are ruinous because of the number of MO hours required (every 10,000 km).
But it's still the hottest bike I've ever owned! Rating : 3/5 Respond to Slow Philou
(1500 € all the same)
all in all, a real pleasure
ST3 standard 2007 model (the last, alas) Rating : 5/5 Respond to desmo44

I've been riding an ST2 for 2 years. I'm very satisfied with it, which is not the case for my passenger. She complains that the rider is too far away (due to the too sporty position) and that it's difficult to stand on the saddle
Is the position on the ST3 more roadworthy?
What about passengers?
note: I have the comfort kit on st2

I've already ridden an ST2 (70,00 kilometers, just kidding), and now I'm hitting the 30,000 mark with the ST3. And not much to complain about, except that the rear brake, even with progress, could do better... Otherwise, for those who do city driving, and I'm one of them, you'll have to switch to the 2005 model, as the oil bath makes things much easier at low revs. The engine picks up without too much fuss from 2000-2500 rpm. And the electronic management system has made considerable progress compared with the first models
Otherwise, as far as roadholding is concerned, it's Ducat, it doesn't steer well, but it holds the road perfectly in all circumstances, minefields excepted
As for the rest, it's a well-disguised sports car that's formidable on corner exits, with very available torque that really kicks in from 5500 rpm
It's ideal for "fast" two-up riding, or even circuit racing... but the fall is very quickly expensive, as the fairing obliges..
Headlight call to all, and FOrza Ducati....

The rest, on the other hand, is a delight... On the road
Power, character, roadholding, braking and comfort (well, for a Duc...) Reasonable fuel consumption
And it looks so good in red! Reserved for customers who want to be somewhere between the 4-legged Nippon asceptized and the BMW 3rd age
