Title: What service/repair manual do you recomend?
Post by: Tyler1150 on May 17, 2009, 10:27:35 PM
Guys,

I was looking around the internet for a repair manual for my 95 M900.  What is the preferred or better version?

Thanks!

I"ve got a cheap ebay copy of a factory manual, plus LT Snyder's manual  www.desmotimes.com  (http://www.desmotimes.com)   For basic maintenance stuff, especially adjusting valves there are some good website tutorials at  places such as www.ducatisuite.com (http://www.ducatisuite.com)

Get the LT Snyder's manual from Desmo Times.  It was originally written for mid-90's Ducatis, then updated for the newer bikes.  It should have just about all of the information that you need to maintain every part of your Monster.

My  Dealer, Ducati of Santa Barbara, recommended the Haynes 916 manual for my S4, he said the valve adjustment explanation was very complete.   I haven't bought it yet, any other opinions on the Haynes manuals?
