i got a set of used s4 adjustable showa forks on my 620  that were then resprung and revalved for my weight, bike is totally different, it will probably cost you around 400-600 when all is said and done to buy the used forks and have someone else do all the work with the springs and valves and oil, but obviously if you know how to do that stuff it will cost less.

Would i have the same effect with my 620 opening the airbox?  What kind of suspension would you guys reccommend for a 620?  I have owned mine for a couple of yrs and I am really looking into modding the heck out of it.  Thanks for the help.


I'd stay within the Monster family (or at least Ducati) and get adjustables off an S2R 1K or S4R (fully adjustable Showa). As for the airbox/ECU/Termis - I am really not entirely sure what they did for me in terms of performance, to be totally honest, but they probably bumped it up a bit. Important: I don't require my mods to be performance mods; any mod that makes me like the bike even more is worth considering. In that regard, the open airbox and termis, with its terrific exhaust note/bark, makes me smile every time.

Also, it's still a Ducati. Nobody else knows/cares that it's the smallest bike in the family.

I had my stock flywheel lightened to half the weight and installed on Saturday. I think this is one of those "just do it" mods like a 14 tooth front sprocket. Definately makes things seem a little more zippy.  Between the flywheel and my 14 tooth front and 48 tooth rear. It won't hit 140 but anything under 100 is a lot more fun.
