Hey bro, every end has a new beginning. blessing in disguise, time for a new monster !

 

condolences to the 2 riders families... mv-agusta/ducati riders tht went down..RIP.

 

gcheok:thks bro for the cool webby! it was fun seeing lime green and barney-purple monsters ! haha

 

WHERE CAN I FIND ABOUT THE 2 RIDERS THAT WENT DOWN?

[CMYRS]

Anyone poping into Minerva tmrw?

[technicolorhighway]

anyone going to the pasir gudag track day minerva organizin?

[GuiNNeSS]

Well, I needed a tourer bike that can get me and my pillion to places as far as Thailand, and at the end of it still be sporty enough for an occasional trackday or keeping up with sportbikes on twisties. The closest bike Ducati can provide is the ST4, and then later the ST3.

 

While both are quite sporty machines, none of them can match the ZZR1400's pace. Maybe when I'm older i'll get something slower to tour in, like a BMW so I don't scare myself sh|tless.

 

When's the Minerva trackday? I didn't hear anything about it.

[kish_garfield]

clss 2 cc.its the only way to tell them apart.tyre too but difficult to judge.

its a dry clutch..so can expose...so long yur toe doesnt get close to it.

no remedy.don use autosol,it will only wear the crome part.u can't go for chorming either because this is a diff type of process...not like the cosmetic chroming that we are use to.

 

if the problems are near the bottom and is not in the area where the fork compresss down..its ok,just clean it regulary..water trapped at taht end.

 

or just buy after markets omes.don bother with ohlins they don make for monters ...triple clmps only.

[kish_garfield]

i heard from someone at minerva that chorming is the solution???

funny how they ask me to change to a new one when i had that problem

[kish_garfield]

well i didnt ask the mechs

[technicolorhighway]

when i send my fork for service the last time there was rust around the tube.so the recommendation was made.`panick' course a set of fork would be around 2k++.

futher investigation...and 3 other top ducati mechanics,not nessasary because it is not where the action is.

[kish_garfield]

funny tha jap bikes fork dun have this prob...is it cause the fork manufac from duke is diff from jap bike?

[GuiNNeSS]

The Ducati Monster's forks suffer from pitting because of the design of the front fender, which fails to deflect sand, gravel etc from the exposed fork tubes.

[kish_garfield]

Oh....Thks NEO....BTW anyone changed clutch plates B4? how much and with who?

[technicolorhighway]

funny tha jap bikes fork dun have this prob...is it cause the fork manufac from duke is diff from jap bike?

 

most bike manufacture contracts fork co to do their design..for instance

duke has got many contractor to do their design...like showa,sachs or ohlins and quality differ on how bike manufacture wants to budget them.

 

design counts too. like wat neo said `front fenders'.

if you have 1999-1993 you'll have a lousy front fenders..

2000-2002 think will help abit in the stiffness of the attachment(notice cracks happens near the attachmnets?

 

after the texas group took over ducati things in that area improve a lot.

[technicolorhighway]

Oh....Thks NEO....BTW anyone changed clutch plates B4? how much and with who?

 

 

clutch plates will cost ard $300 plus.

[kish_garfield]

thanks bro.....

 

btw the forks i am having is defintely stock but i doubt its the brands u mention ....i think starts with k?

[GuiNNeSS]

Kayaba? I thought Ducati Monsters usually come with Sach or Showa..

[D.O.C]

ha! its cause I live in the north and usually annoy the cars on the CTE by roaring pass them when they are stationary.

[technicolorhighway]
