Ducati Monster Forum

I've gotten a few phonecalls the past few weeks since RIP TOB.

Can someone (Stuart / Duck-Stew) post the steps / procedures like they did before?  I'd rather prefer to point people to this site instead for reference and knowledgeable enthusiasts. I or a mod can route to the "how to" section when finished. 

Thanks

Here we go again....   [roll]  I've got to dig up the instructions.  Give me a few days.

Step 1:  Locate buyer for arm,  leg, and/or first born....   [evil]

A little off topic but will a wet slipper clutch work if converted to dry?

If you're converting it to dry clutch anyway, wouldn't it make more sense to use a dry slipper ? I suppose unless you already have a wet slipper clutch then that makes more sense.

It has been proven that it is more cost-effective to sell your wet-clutch bike and just buy the dry-clutch bike.


Not *really*...


Well, it actually makes the same sense as swapping a regular dry clutch to a dry slipper clutch.  If you already have a wet-slipper clutch....then swapping to a dry clutch is very-much a moot point.

ahh, but it also has been proven that some of us... *cough*me*cough* ...are too stupid to listen to such logic-based information  ;D

Part of it is JUST HAVING the S2R800 with a dry clutch

some times we do crazy shit that makes no sense just 'cause!

thank you.  ;D

Tell me about it!

Logic rarely applies to anything emotional like a motorcycle.

I just wanted to point out that it's not for the timid or the poor.

and you do realise that if I find my way to the west coast, I'm dropping my scoot off at your shop for some dryin' up, right?  ;)

I guess I've been warned, eh?  ;D

Wet clutch to dry clutch conversion:

step 1: drain oil
step 2: ride

 [thumbsup]

lol

 ;D

step one: find job in cali.

step two: ship bike.

step three: have trickest 620 evar to come from hawaii...

I was hoping Stuart was going to dry clutch that 400cc Ducati engine he got from Japan!

that would be some serious hotness!

it sucks that shipping a bike to/from the mainland is so expensive... otherwise stu'd have it already  ;)

Ha!  That would've been cool as hell....  Too bad I parted out the engine already....

Step 1) Click on Monsters for Sale.

Step 2) Click on Monsters Wanted.

 ;D

Even better!  Take the $$$ you would've spent and put it in the 'Pay it Forward' thread!

who, me?  ;D I've already sunk too much in the girl, it would be a massive net loss to just get rid of the bike.  this bike is gonna be w/me until I die

that's the spirit!!

get one of those custom coffins for you and your bike! 

seriously, could you just take a crank and parts from an S2R1k?

The big-motored cranks won't fit into a small case engine (IIRC). 

Here's what I relate to:


I'm at like 400% of initial purchase price and the bike is in pieces YET AGAIN!  I'm so F'd.  Oh well! [drink]

nah, I'll just cremated and have my ashes stuffed into the trellis frame. and then sell myself on ebay
 [laugh] [laugh]


 [thumbsup] [thumbsup] [thumbsup] [beer]

Yep, that's why you need to skip "step 1", and go straight on to "step 2, click on Monsters For Sale"...

 [evil]

big (who can stop at just one bike?)

 [laugh]
I barely got room for the one. unless I park a bike inside my apt.

in which case, said 'parked in apt.' bike would be very, very specific. and a long term project type bike, at that.

I like my wet clutch bike. It keeps me from having to explain to all of the people that don't know about dry clutches that it's not a rod knocking and there's nothing wrong with the motor and that it's all supposed to do that.

Folks Folks, this is all much simpler than that.
