Picked this baby up in Toronto over the weekend. My model, my year.

I've been going off the torque specs you can find here, in the tutorials sections. Those are for an S4RS (I just ignored the engine specs) and hoped the other were the same or close.

If anyone wants copies, I will make them. I can scan and convert all torque specs into Word or PDF. Also a good reference for all the Ducati terms for lube and loctite types.

Boy howdy, I wish a book like that was available for my M1100S! Being an oldish Phart I prefer paper to discs!

I have the PDF for the 03 S4R, but it's a huge PITA to navigate because it has so many pages and they're slow to load. Also, the annex w the torque specs in the PDF is only italian... making it useless.

paper is nice, and doesn't have to be plugged in in the shop

where in Toronto are you?

I am not sure making copies is exactly legal

lol, just the torque specs and some details. i guess that's proprietary... i'll ask my law school gf

I'm not in Toronto. I was there over the Easter weekend to visit gf. I live in New Brunswick, for now...

How closely did you look at it? Usually the the torque section is listed in all Italian first, then all in English. It is this way on the S4RS manual and a S2R800 manual I have. Also if you use to the bookmark links for torque settings it will take you straight to English part skipping the Italian.

Oh and nice score on the paper! I wish I could get that for my bike.

just checked my PDF again, it goes straight from italian torque specs into the different maintenance operations (which are side by side bilingual)

Kijiji and craigslist, your time will come

Might try eBay also. I have seen a few, not for the Monster yet though.

Haynes might be better arguably, but the shop manual is a nice reference
