[Group] SBF DUCATI Monster

[ccubelien]

oh i see.. i was at KC on the day u were about to collect your bike. mike said u were at LTA or something. would have waited to say hi if i was not in a rush. hope u enjoy the bike. the condition was quite good and there is little you need to do up. for a 2002 bike, i think you got a good deal. I collected my bike that night too, u may have seen another yellow bike that just got reprayed.

 

by the way, was the M400 your first choice or have u been considering other bikes?

 

Had been in a long search for my perfect love. First Super4, then XR4 then GSR400. Then there was one day I chance upon the monster and I realised, No thing and No one can stop me from riding it. =P

 

I did see a few other Monsters there. Is yours yellow too??

[ccubelien]

Look. Sony Ericsson is starting to appreciate Ducati too. =D

Hi guys,

 

A incident filled outing:

1) Gear lever dropped

2) Wallet flown off

3) Paris Daker style riding. Ducati have conquered the off-road for the first time.

4) Rear shock stuck.

 

 

omg.......

Hi,

 

Thanks technicolorhighway, I am bit confused now. So is it a good thing to ride without the airbox cover ? I really don't want to spoil my engine.

 

Thank you

Not wanting to add to your confusion but it really depends on the state of engine tune that is on your bike. Riding with the open airbox cover increase the volume on air that goes into your engine. If your carbs are not tuned to cope with this increased volume, then the mixture will be very lean, resulting in pinking, piston slap, premature detonation and overheating. Even if you have fuel injection, the ECU needs to be re-mapped to handle the different air/fuel mixture. To optimize your carbs, you will need to uprate the carb jets and have it setup and tuned on a dyno. After the work on the carbs, you may still need to adjust the ignition timing and possibly uprate the spark plugs.

 

Any single modification for engine performance will require some other modification so make sure that you are ready to get into performance modification as the route is endless.

yea man.... tell me about it, had so much problems with my arrows before.

but don't worry , money will fix any problems , and lot of it.....

Hi singhla,

 

Mine is fuel injection. When i change the pipes and air filter, the mech did do tuning for me, but not on the dyno. I not sure if that is enough. Never did any re-mapping and the bike ECU is stock and never been touch. So what is your advice? Should i just put back the cover? Will that screw up the tuning done by the mech, because they tune the bike with the open airbox. I am lost.

 

 

jyy are you still on the same setup as me? or have you change to a new setup. I tried to bring my bike for tunning on the dyno in another shop , but they say that i need to install a PC III to do that. I wanted to install but PC III don't have for monster 400. They only have for 1000 cc monster. Any suggestion ?

I Love sunday meetup too....

 

916 currently undergoing transformation.... Mini project on the way

[dryice]

I was Suggesting alternate weeks on Saturday, alternate weeks on Sunday.

 

Cuz Some people can make it on Sun and can't on Sat and vice versa.

 

I'm personally ok for Sunday, but some weeks there is MotoGp or F1.

yeap... if its saturday meet ups then im afraid i have to say good bye... cos i can never make saturdays... boo hoo. =(

[conjurer]

i have this permanent smile on my face today. KC helped me install my high mount CF termis (used) today and wow! when the bike fired up, it sounded amazing. totally unexpected! i have been awed by the termis in the 1098 but had low expectation for my 400cc block... but when the bike ignited, my bike transformed into a Harley! Addictive! Just feel like going to the carpark and starting the bike again just for the heck of it!
