[Group] SBF DUCATI Monster

[dodobird]

Hi dodobird. Currently going to view a 1999 carb model and a 2002 FI model. As this will be first duc wouldn't know what in particular to look out for. And bro sankar, not looking for pre 1999

 

Actually if u do ur research u will realise that pre 99 m900 is the better bike. Its a common mod to take a 97-99 m900 and install 94 blocks. Only disadvantage i can think of the the forks are 40mm caliper mounts which u can also swap out.

 

Personally i used to own a s4. Ran with a m900 many times. Not much diff in a whole but i'll rather have a 4v engine anyday.

 

If this is goin to be ur first ducati, u should be more concern about how much ur wallet will be able to take the stress.

[jjames]

So the concern of wallet will equate to cheaper upkeep I.e 2v cheaper than 4v

Yes 2v is cheaper to maintain the 4v but maybe abt 10%. your concern should be that italian parts cost 3x more then japanese.

 

The average cost of yearly maintenance is about 2-3k not inclusive of change of parts. Valve clearance is mandatory every 20kkm or 1 yr ehich ever comes first.

Swee! many thumb up for u.

Think this is a best bike video produced locally ....Monster 萬歲！

Check the following:

 

1. Steering column bearings

2. Wheel/tires high speed balancing

3. Rear shock (to my knowledge cannot be serviced)

4. Front / rear axles (shaft)

 

wobbly in the way.. when I am traveling straight. if I purposely wobble the handle. it will go on for quite a while ...

 

when corning . the bike just doesn't feel stable ... front.fork service.done and front wheel bearing changed .

 

its kinda hard to explain without riding it
