Title: oil filler cap question
Post by: jonnyconcrete on March 29, 2011, 01:28:20 AM
guys just a quick question for the more knowledgeable folks on here

Can you guys tell me if the oil filler cap on the ducati 696 is the same as
or differs from other ducati models ?
If it is the same as another ducati model could you tell me which ?

The reason for asking....well im thinking of fitting one of those caps with the pressure gauges
attached and obviously because i want to buy one the suppliers dont stock one for the 696

the 696 and 1100 are the same, but they are different than the older style monsters.

Those won't be pressure gauges btw - they are temp gauges.

seems like a bad place to locate something you would want to be able to see while riding.

i like the idea though.  installation couldn't be simpler.  then again, temperature on aircooled machines isn't really a concern until you are in stop and go traffic

the temp gauge filler caps is all for looks anyway. every monster has temp in the dash right?

i take you you have a new monster.
my 2000 has no temp gauge and no tachometer

when it gets too hot, it just shuts off.  does that count as a temp gauge?
