[Group] SBF DUCATI Monster

[ducatitan]

A friend of mine who's sister works in one of the petrol company told me that 98 is actually more fuel economy than 95. But he was referring to 4-wheelers. Dun noe if that applies to bikes as well.

 

I pump 95 to save $$$!

Hey DOC, Hows the S4 on the track? Hows the ground clearance?

 

I scratched up my boots, exhaust and header pretty bad when I rode my M400 hard.

[D.O.C]

wow neo, i thought i was pretty hardcore, scratch a little bit off my gear lever and exhaust (left side)

 

you are my idol man

 

the foot pegs are pretty low on the monster, wish it was a tad higher towards the rear. overall, it was very easy to ride and the bike felt so alive.

 

guess the bike is meant for the track rather than spore roads.

 

shall we meet up this friday? seems like a few of us can make it. espido1001 why cant u make it since u r getting ur bike thurs nite?

[Jess1717]

Hi there, anyone noe anyone is selling a pair of side mirrors for Monster???

[coolcat]

I'm good Fri evening for quickie, until 7.30pm. Sunday is cool too. As for location, may i suggest KTM? it's central, and parking's great. I live in the east, but don;t mind travelling.

 

I suggest Sunday cos' this thread was started to cure "Sols" boredom. Sunday seems better for him. I do stand corrected.

 

Cheers

The Monster S4 uses a different frame from the air cooled monsters, and ground clearance was supposedly better. Anyway, before I firmed up my rear shock the exhaust would touch down first. After adding preload, the gear and brake levers touch down first, chamfering the edge off, then the exhaust cans and on the right side, the headers leading to the end can....

 

But I avoid this by putting the ball of my foot on the edge of the foot peg, so the side of the boots touch down first before anything expensive.

[Duke_Monster]

oh i hav duty on fri !!! u guys decide which day's the best yea? i'm fine wit anything...i'll def. drop by if i can !

[Guest Jade]

Going to spring a surprise birthday for a friend, not sure if timing can match. If can I'll drop by?

Well, i think adjusting the suspension is the cheapest and most cost effective mod you can do to your bike. The extra bit of ground clearance certainly helps too. It has to be setup to your weight and riding preferances.

 

Ducati recommends maxing out preload and rebound when pillioning.

[Guest nE0]

I guess I'll not be joining then, currently no ducks for me to ride

 

But I suggest Ducati Riders to have a once-a-month meetup kinda thing, that will make it easier will it? So everyone knows when the next meetup would be, and can plan our scheduals accordingly.

Sorry guys and gals,

 

Can only meet on Friday this week cos' Sunday got duty.

 

I second Neo's idea of meeting once a month at least. Neo, why don't you organise the monthly meet. It doesn't matter if you have a Duc now or not. Your next bike is also a Duc right?
