Erm, I think its 10500. Theres no rev limiter, so be careful not to over-rev the machine.

[D.O.C]

was it that high? for my S4 monster according to manual, rev max at 9500 rpm, have never reach that level though.

 

but do be careful, v twins are not as high rev as the japs inline.

[Guest nE0]

The 400cc Monster can rev higher. Mine doesn't have an RPM meter, so I don't know what RPMs I'm doing, but I don't rev the heck out of it anyways. Heart pain!

 

Theres no need to rev it like that anyways, theres enough torque to shortshift most of the time.

[Tincan]

So who is game for a meet-up tonight?

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

thanks bro ! it's red...hmm..kinda stock..i hate the mickey mirrors!

[Tincan]

It's a beauty, my friend. Let me know if you can find alternative to the mirrors. The ones I saw at the agent are just too expensive. Kind of like the carbon fibre ones.

 

BTW, are you folks still meeting on Sunday evening?

 

Enjoy!

[Duke_Monster]

thanks bro ! actualli not alot aftermarket mirrors can be used(juz now tried to fix on small ah boy aftermarket mirrors)...i dunno abt yrs...but my m400 has opp-thread direction on the right side...

 

does yrs hav tht too? i heard ducati sells the adapters to 'switch' the thread back to normal on the right side..

folks see u tonite, going to burn some calories now:sweat:

[coolcat]

Guys .... It was good seeing you guys, sorry that I had to scoot off early. Really cool to see fellow duke riders out there. Hope that you guys had a good dinner and pow-wow.

 

Anyway, one of the subject raised was the possibility of a Duke track day. I'm no trackie, but I can help to organise one if necessary, as I have friends who are trackie. Let's see how it goes?

 

Hope to meet up again, and get to know you guys better.

 

Ride safe.

 

Cheers

Hey everybody!!! Thanks for making this meeting a success! Wonderful to see so many Ducatis in one place and all the music of pipes. Glad that many people turned up. We have to make it monthly meetup soon but someone else has to organise it cos I am away in sep.

 

Keep Riding!

[ducatitan]

 

I was looking forward to the meetup session. But ended up having to attend to last minute events at marina.

 

Great to hear that it was a success. Any photos to share?

 

Really looking forward to the next one.

[Tincan]

Hi my friends

 

Was great meeting up with all you folks tonight. Apologise for being late but glad that I still got a glimpse of you folks who left early. Look forward to the next meet up and this time, shall bring my camera.

 

Have a great week ahead and Happy riding!

[Guest nE0]
