Ducati S2R 1100 EVO (minus the ABS and all that fancy shit)

As DS1000 motors wear & EVO1100 motors become more available, the write-up for this adaptation will become very helpful....

Great work so far, & I can't wait to hear the 'final' write-up!

True. I'm afraid the EVO 1100 engines will be harder to find though.  A couple of years ago if you were looking for a used DS1000 to stick in your Monster's frame you source one from a Monster, Super Sport 1000, or any of the Sport Classics.  To find an EVO 1100 engine it will have to come out of a salvaged Monster and I don't think Ducati sells as many 1100 Monsters now compared to say 2006-2008 when the S2R1000's seemed to be very popular.

Put 1100 miles on Betty in 5 days last month.  Rides & corners excellent.

Hypermotard has SBK width cases at the pivot compared to the wider Monster / SS / SC

There won't be any other air-cooled bikes by next year. The hyper will be water-cooled for 2013. Besides, as 1KDS says, the Hyper 1100 does not easily fit in a Monster frame.

ahh son of a gun,  i paid $30 to have the gear shipped to me today, guarenteed by 12pm. i live 3 blocks from the post office. i always get priority mail at 8am. i get a ticket noted for 11:49am....seriously!!! if i paid $6 bucks chances would of been it came tomorrow at 9am. atleast its at the post office. i wanted to install it tonight, esepcially after watching the giants loose. need ap ick me up!

use a soft penny she said!
Itll just bend and save the gear she said!


but she never said it was going to feed right through!


i did this on the S2R1000, it did not feed through. or even mark the penny up.


i was not paying attention at how it was placed, and it punched right through it.

you are suppose to make the gears PINCH the penny not PUNCH. so i put it in the wrong way.

oh well. it was a PITA to have to undo that flywheel nut. i red loctited it and torqued it up to 180ft./lbs. it was  BEAST to remove.

then the sprag gear was stuck. so i had to summon the power of thor to get the best grip i could and turn the wheel by hand like a steering wheel. but i backed it out and got evverything  buttoned up. she turns over just dandy.

waitiing for the gasket to cure a bit then do 2nd tightening down of the bolts then filling her up with some oil and taking her out!

Awesome project; thanks for posting this up for all to see.

Hurry up, gasket sealer!

how long does a dyno tune take to finish anyway?

[He Man]

good news and bad news.

the good news.

The bike idles! Rough idle, but she sounds really nice and revs sort of okay. the ignition timing is too advance for the single spark.

the bad news.

my van died. it wont hold an idle and it dies under load. Suspecting either a clogged fuel filter or a dying fuel pump.
so until i get the van completely sorted out. the bike isnt going to get its tune anytime soon.
