New Monster 1198

[Barney]

mine was meant to be no more than a first impression of the bike. i've only seen it this one time in real life.  it's most definitely a pleasure to ride... I think I just feel the same way about this as the guys with the previous gen. monster felt when the 696 came out, which is interesting to me because I couldn't understand that at the time.

Thanks, looking forward to it. It is interesting seeing how people react to the new stuff Ducati is doing the last few years. In any case, next mod to figure out is the evap canister removal. I am not entirely sure how to get to the spot where it connects to the throttles, nor am I sure how to get under the tank. Looking forward to figuring it out (or seeing if someone has already done it).

 Manuals are available from the Ducati web site if you dig a little. I can't tell you how right now cuz I'm spaced out after a 430 mile day at the end of a 1700 mile ride.

That makes it a lot easier, thanks! I am actually going to remove 1-6, 24, plug the holes in the throttle bodies with screws, and then remove the canister itself and reroute the remaining hoses where the other hoses already come out at the bottom of the bike. 19 already comes out in a good spot so I will just run this there too, or I will pull 20 off and replace with a T to 19 if I can get the tank off.

4-valves are usually pretty smooth and sneaky-fast.

I took my first shot at 1st gear and full throttle yesterday. Nothing sneaky about how quick the front wheel came off the ground! I got the canister off the bike too. It was very easy with darkmonster620's diagram, so thanks for that!

Anytime I can help I will . . .

And, you're welcome

That will happen in second gear as well

I saw the new watercooled Monster this week. Comparing it to the Hyperstrada I could see how badly executed the plumbing and radiator were. Very disappointing considering the great job they did on tidying up the Hyperstrada's water cooling components.
