Any monster home ?

[fweddy]

hi i would like to ask, does the front visor on the monster help aerodynamically? especially at high speed? Also, whats the top speed anyone here has gone on a m400? Thanks alot

[jonathan543]

how much does the labour for valve clearance would cost, for 2v and 4v monsters? and timing belts replacement costs? is there a significant diff?

180km n still cruising

[Guest nE0]

Cruising at 180km/h is alittle optimistic for stock Monster 400.

 

Take note that the Monster's meter (Older ones anyway) are one of the very few known to actually underread the speed. So when it says 140, true speed might be closer to 150, and your friend's typical over-reading meter might read 160.

 

My Monster can cruise at 140 with pillion and panniers. But rider uncomfortable, so usually drop back to around 120.

 

A front windshield might take some of the wind off the chest area, but directs it further up to the neck or helmet. This might be better or worse than no screen at all, so test before finalising.

If you are still wondering what is the difference of a new termis exhaust slip-on, check this out, you can hear the difference yourself.

 

 

Price of a Monster: Around $ 15000

 

Price of riding a ducati monster with Termis slip-on: PRICELESS

errr but my tech shows 180 ...... mayb spoilt meter

[Guest nE0]

Maybe yours is not stock?

 

Anyways, I miss the termis sound! You guys better treasure your air cooled monsters, because soon, Euro4 or newer noise emmision regulations will kill these engines.

2V > 10,000 service > $300+++
