It's a chrome M9 actually...but it's far from being mine haha. I met the rider only just now, and he seemed pretty fine with the heat. We travelled from GP Esso till PG and it didn't feel as hot as the other two Duckies.. Maybe the chrome helped to reflect the heat off better? Heh.. But that guy, was ridiculously fast. He was keeping pace with the 998S! lol mad stuff!

Actually that's a Monster S4 Chromo. 4-valve 916cc and water-cooled. With the right gearing, the guy should have no problem keeping up with the 998S through the traffic!

wish I could get of those! Sporting Motors used to sell them. But those they sold, already come painted over. Can just see the carbon fibre at the side like the pic u posted..

 

I was at the storeroom taking some Aprilia parts and saw that they still have some 999 ones.. but I quit Mah about a month ago.. so dunno if they still have.

I'm surprised that Mah stocks Duc parts, especially for 999. Then again I've never been a customer of theirs so what do I know.....

 

Can you elaborate on the 999 parts that are available?

Oh no, Mah does not stock 999 parts. Sporting Motor does aftermarket parts, like STM slipper clutch, billet crankcase breather, clutch slave (I got mine there), fairings, etc.

 

And Sporting Motor resides within the first level front building of Mah, so we share the same store for parts.

Monsters have no fairings, so the heat shouldn't be as bad as the superbikes I imagine. And the chrome tank is very :thumb:

sigh.. fairings back and it was a screw up job. Lacquer all runny... dust trapped in lacquer, etc.. Never expected Ong and Son to turn up such a job. Last time let them spray always gave me damn good quality. Guess the change of worker made alot of difference..

 

Pity I didn't check when collecting cos all wrap in newspaper and boss wasn't around.. Now have to go back again tml and ask for a respray... Another 10 days downtime... sianz...

It might be due to the rain the pass entire week.. So have yo send the faring back for respray? If so remember to ask them to remove the previous coat/layer if not the layer of paint on your faring will be getting thicker and thicker. It will turns out worst.

Oic.... would you happen to know the price of the STM slipper and if it is compatible with OEM clutch plates?

Cannot be mah.. I go there because they have oven... if rain also shouldn't affected. Anyway, just went down... boss was quite defensive but nevertheless agreed to rectify the problem areas...

dunno leh, I just know it is thousand plus... I thought it comes with friction plates as a set?

[LedZep]

Good luck with the fairings dude. Hope they get sorted properly.

 

About the clutch - Am interested in getting a slipper, but only if I can replace the STM plates (once they are worn) with Ducati OEM plates. I am afraid forking out for STM plates all the time might burn a big hole in the pocket!

why don't you email them about your concern? [email protected]

 

i realise that sometimes if I probe around, aftermarket stuff may actually be cheaper than original ones!

Yo Will, Fude PMed me the number and I smsed Damien. He says all the springs is with Michael Chong and he can't remember the price. Think his meaning is that we should get from Michael Chong directly...

 

But I lazy to go down to Kallang Cycle, so just bought over Ebay in the end. Plus shipping, came up to about SGD$72. Inclusive of stainless steel bolts, and anodized spring caps.

Thanks, bro

 

Can get rid of the rusty springs liao.

Yo bro,

 

Dont think you can used the Duke's OEM clutch plates on the slipper clutch. If you get the STM slipper clutch, you are stuck with STm plates, manz

Presumably the OEM ones leaks.. this is breathes better, seals better, and of course looks better. But seriously, it's not on my priority yet... I'll probably buy it next time...

[formerduke996]

Hi all ohlins forks are sold by sporting only. cost around 3800 includig triple clamp.

 

STM slipper clutch can use stock plates singapore shop will tell you cannot but I checked with some dealers I met in states and they say no problem, just as long as the stack hight is right. billet braether is just a better looking breather valve for the engine oil. original one leaks and cracks cos near the headers

STM have 48 teeth clutch and 12 teeth one slipper clutch. 12 teeth can use stock Ducati plates.

 

Now seems like a good time for kopi.....

 

Anyone can organise?
