neo how much does a timing belt change cost? what are the items that need servicing/replacing for a major service?

I think it costs about $50 each.

 

Servicing is like any other bike, but because Ducati's have no valve spring, the valves don't go back to its original position on its own. Therefore, the valves need to be adjusted very deligently. For Japanese bikes, if the valve clearances are not good, at most you loose power as the valves don't open as much as before. For Ducatis, it can mean the valves don't close properly, or close too tight.

 

As its a V-twin, vibrations are higher than inline4s (which is good), but carbs can go out of sync faster.

 

Other than that, its Spark plug, engine oil, oil filter, air filter etc... Same as any bike.

How often would the valves need to be adjusted? If too tight or loose, what'll happen? :confused:

All a new Ducati owner or owner to be needs to know

 

I wouldn't go into the mechanics of what will happen, but lets just say you will not only loose power, but might be potentially expensive if you neglect it for too long.

Say.... is it true that Ducati no longer produce Monster 400?

The Monster 400 is actually a "small bored" M620, for the Japanese market due to demand. Japanese has a 400cc limit licence bracket too, like Singapore.

 

But I think thats being phased out now, not sure. So if Japan ceases to have this 400cc licence bracket, there will be no more new 400cc bikes anymore, because I don't think they are going to produce 400cc bikes just for the Singapore market.

Yo...

 

My dad just got a FR Monster 400 today! WOOHOO!!!

 

Anyways, seems like there isn't a dedicated Monster Thread here, so thought I'd start?

 

Love the bike! Love the power... haha... 6 more months to my 2A :sweat: Illegal rider... hahaha... took it for a spin just now in the estate car park... Couldn't get past first gear though... haha... Love the sound.. Love everything about the bike!!!

 

Anyways, where do you guys usually service your bikes?

 

What do you guys do at the servicing?

 

From what I read, alot of things can DIY... Like what huh?

 

What are the common problems you guys face with your Monsters?

 

Cheers!

Sols

Common problem with all Monsters is that they are all simply begging for some Termis! :D

Me too, no Monster Kakis... :(

 

Btw, are your forks lowered? Check the yokes. If the stick out too much, then try raising the forks back to stock height. Otherwise, your fork might have too little preload, or the internals are shot (Heavily landed wheelies?)
