Title: steering head diagram for and 01 m900
Post by: pitbull on August 26, 2009, 10:04:57 AM
 Does and have a diagram for the steering head of an 01 900? Or can anyone tell me what goes where when putting the triples back on. I think I have it figured out, but I want to be sure and couldn't find anything here with a search or in the FAQ or tutorials.

So far I have from bottom to top:

lower triple
washer
bottom bearing

neck of frame

top bearing
top brass washer thingy
nut that holds bottom triple
top triple
stem bolt

Am I missing anything?

thanks very much in advance

It's been quite a while since I had mine apart, but that sounds right.

The parts diagram at ducati.com should eliminate any guessing.

Pitbull,

I have to ask: did your triple clamp develop a mysterious crack that prompted this replacement?  I have 2000 M900S with an enormous crack in the bottom clamp and am going to be replacing it this weekend.  I chalked it up to a deerstrike incident a year ago, but I've heard since that the 00-01 Monsters had a lot of these.
