The preseason shakedown in Thailand has concluded and it looks like Yamaha and Honda have improved, Quartararo and Jack Miller were on top with Aleix Espargaro on Honda tied with Jack. They are still over a second off Bagnaia's 2024 time. The season starts at the end of this month. Don't know if I will be doing updates.

Well, it looks like time to start a new thread for 2025.  When does the "news" start?

How well do the new fittings you suggest stand up to exposure to fuel?  The fittings in the post are designed for use with water, so more information is wanted.

I'm probably not much help as I haven't done it but I went to the Ignitech site and their assembly manuals do list instructions for XZ550. I downloaded it but could not open it as it was not compatible with my version of Microsoft Word. Information I've seen in the past suggested talking to Boris. I am interested as my bike isn't running. I have another stock ignition and if it doesn't work I will try Ignitech.

My bike has same symptoms too.
Looked at Ignitech  but no 550 in they list, what ignition model did you use?

I'm just basing it on zero replies throughout the season which, despite the Ducati dominance has been an interesting year. Marquez first year not with Honda. Acosta's first year with the big boys. Ducati had such a plethora of riders until they chose Marc for the 2025 factory team. Martin immediately signed with Aprilia joined by Bezzecchi. Bastianinni went to KTM satellite joined by Aprilia refugee Vinales. Pramac itself left Ducati and is the new satellite Yamaha team. I'm sure that's not everything. I'm not sure if I will be signing up for Video Pass as every race including the sprints was televised in the US but no practice or qualifying.

Well, the 2024 season is over and a new champion has been crowned. I guess nobody on this site cares.
