M1000 - Winter tinkering

[Pedro]

Been tinkering a little over the last few weeks, but the beasty is back together now...

As you've probably seen my 93 900, here's my 2004 M1000, ex company bike of Ducati UK MD!

Lots of mods, the pics below are the latest.

Left hand side

Right hand side


Repainted engine cases - all done with about £15 worth of Smoothrite



Ally swingarm fitted with integral Scottoiler - pipe routed though the arm and mounted on a fabricated sharksfin to the rearsprocket



New exhaust - Sil Motor spaghetti system feeding my DP Titanium cans (quite loud..!)

Which nicely fouled the stock rearbrake mastercylinder so now a Cycle Cat remote system does the job


And some freshly powder coated wheels to finish it off


It's off for some Dyno work in the next couple of weeks to see if the Sil Motor headers will help break the 100hp at the wheel mark - currently about 92 at the wheel

Nice rearsets, too.

Very nice.  That exhaust is clean looking.

Very clean, is it coated with anything? When I got mine they were nice and shiny, now after about 3000 miles they have a nice golden brown color. Sweet lookin' bike dude! I have an '03 M1000S, where did you get that rear hugger?

Thanks fella!

Pipe is just polished and after 10 minutes had a nice straw coloured sheen to it too! The plus side is the Sil Motor headers are a much better grade of stainless so will polish up again more easily than the stock Duke item.

I think the carbon hugger came from a company in Germany via Spareshack in the UK, it was on when I bought the bike. There's a stupid amount of nice parts fitted, most by the previous owner

Starting at the front....
Marchesini 5 spokes (replaced 3 spoke Brembos)
Brembo 4 pad/4piston calipers (awesome) with titanium mounting bolts
R&G Axle crash bungs
DP Forks (custom set up and valving)
HEL braided lines in black
DP LED folding turn signals
Magura Fatbar (S4R/S2R) conversion (much better than stock)
Brembo Radial Master Cylinders - clutch is billet version
Rizoma Fluid reserviors
Rizoma bar end mirrors
Dark tint screen
DP Fuel filler cap
K&N filter & open airbox
Power Commander 3 with custom mapping (just about to redo this to match the new pipe)
Sport Classic belt covers (good cheap mod this replacing the nasty plain gray originals)
Speedy Moto Generator case cover
MPL Clutch Slave cylinder
DP Titanium sprocket cover
Renthal sprockets (14/39 - and it still does nigh on 140mph...! Wheelies nicely too!)
Sil Motor Spaghetti headers
DP Titanium high level cans
DP Gel Seat
Scottoiler System
Carbon "arrow head" tail
LED Rear Light insert
Cycle Cat rearsets
Ohlins rear shock with remote preload
Carbon hugger
Plus a whole bucket of assorted stainless bolts!

I've ridden most model monsters (except the new 1100 - soon though) and reckon this is one of the best around hence buying it from my buddy - took me about a nano second to decide when he offered it to me! By the time the cams are properly dialed in and the PC is remapped by another mate, we should be looking at 100+ horses at the rear wheel and bucket loads of torque!

100+ HP? Have you done any engine mods besides the PC? We have basically the same setup, and when mine was dyno'd to set the PC it had 87HP.

No, motor is bog stock although it's always been a good one. It was dyno'd last year on a Fuchs Dyno and made about 91 at the rear wheel but the air cleaner was filthy, the cam timing needed checking and the map was less than perfect. My buddy who did the dyno run did a Multistrada last year as well and got that to 98 at the wheel (although he has now turbo'd that bike - rough map = 135hp / 95ftlbs torque at the wheel on 1/2 bar boost...!) so he reckons 100 should be no prob.

He's a real perfectionist and thinks noting of spending the day in the dyno room....!

When it goes over in a few weeks I'll post the dyno run print out up

Did you use the stock PC maps or have you had a map written to suit the bike? If not the latter, it's worth the time and money as the pick up and drive I get is awesome. Throttle response is spot on. The only down side is really sh*tty gas mileage if I'm not careful - normal riding gives 90 miles until the light comes on (around 12 litres worth) or low 70s if I'm in a hurry. It has dropped into the 60's on a track day.....

Custom map, had to get a PC when I put on the full exhaust system, opened the airbox also. The shop put the bike on the dyno after the install HP was in the high 80's. I have the prinout somewhere, I should go dig it up. The reason I asked is cause we have the same bike, only mines a year older, is your's a US model?

No mines a UK bike.

Here's the dyno run vid


Make sure you've got sound!

Give me a minute and I'll find the print out

No mines a UK bike.

What is the difference?

What is the difference?

Mines right hand drive.....   

[NAKID]

Funny guy!

[Pedro]

Funny guy!

I try!

Not sure if there are any differences to be honest between UK/European and US bikes. I have heard some ignition timing differences to cope with different octane gas etc but don't know for sure

[junior varsity]

Bike looks great!

How did you put your spools (buttons, bobins not sure what you call them) on your swingarm?  Are they just drilled and tapped holes with shoulder screws?
