[Group] SBF DUCATI Monster

[coolcat]

Forget to add that every 20,000 km also change the clutch and brake fluids, and fork oil. These tasks may be labour intensive so the labour part may cost a bit more at Minerva or elsewhere.

 

Cheers

Yohji>> How's your bike alarm working for you?

 

Has anyone out here done grounding for your bikes? I'm thinking about it since my bike is already 7 years old.

M400 dun need to be grounded...grounding its for for FI bikes.

Pipes were done by M-Technik at Paya Ubi Ind Park 2 (they send for powdercoating). Don't know how much for the pipes - included in lump sum for work done on frame, engine, pipes, etc..

 

Can't make to Minerva launch, sorry.

[blackreplica]

motocafe, was nice to meet you at KC 2 days back, nice to see the owner that belongs to the bike (have been admiring the bike for months at KC!). Congrats on your wonderful project and hope you got your wiring problem sorted

 

rrr (or anyone else): Does anyone have any details on when & where is the Minerva launch? Is it by invitation only?

[Duke_Monster]

blackreplica: u could check out the "Ducati Sportbikes" section.. one of the minerva staff posted details concerning the launch..(her post is always in RED)..

Need to correct myself - the pipes were actually anodized Black not powdercoated, sorry. Anodizing also done by M-Technik.

Hey wild i,

My alarm is working fine except for reception not so good and not so sensitive due to the place I placed the alarm box. Monsters are so naked that I don't really have much places to hide the alarm box. Other than those problems, it is great. Have a peace of mind at least : )

 

And guys, I have fixed my panniers on and decided to leave them on forever. I don't wanna spend 10mins fixing it on everyday man. But I think I still need to take them off while washing bike (so got excuse to not wash bike liao haha) or maybe I should shampoo the panniers together while washing bike?? Hehe!

deftones80,

I was wondering if you're able to help find out where to purchase the high heel.

I believe Jess1717 will get a pair and put them on for the next duke gathering.

And maybe she'll get her duke to RED color as well.

 

That reminds me of a song by David Bowie.

Let's dance.. put on your RED SHOE ON... like dat lar...

(sorry off topics)

 

Cheers!

2007 Ducati Monster 695

http://www.ducati.com/bikes/my2006/ducatiM...delName=M695-06

 

Ducati has finally sat down and made it's entry level engine that much more exciting. The small air-cooled L-twin has got a 75cc volume increase and 10 extra horsepower. This makes the new 695 the most powerful air-cooled Ducati per c.i. ever. The new Monster 695 will replace the old 620 already in April in Europe and the rest of the world this Autumn.

Looks like I already have the 2007 paint scheme on my monster. :-)

MONSTER 695

[blackreplica]

Holy crap that monster puts out nearly as much power as the older 900s! Very impressive, i wonder if they will port this technology to their larger engine variants like the 750/900/SR monsters.

 

Simple extrapolation shows that a monster 900 engine using the same tech will put out 95hp. Almost as much as the S2R 1000DS oooohhhh

Hehe! 15secs is for neo, I am yohji!

 

Okay I will take pictures and show you pple. It doesn't look that nice from the side but looks great from the back. Past few weeks very lazy. Haven't washed my bike for 2 weeks liao!

[blackreplica]

Just a heads up for everyone, just noticed a Monster S4 and Ducati 749 Dark for sale in the classifieds...if anyone recently struck lottery, you might want to check it out!
