Put Mikuni CV 38s back on the Monster. I also put the stock airbox back on with a K&N filter. Never thought I'd see the day. I wanted to soften the power, make it more forgiving, reduce the top end and basically slow down the response making it more friendly. It also now has a choke for easy starting in Winter. Why do such a thing? My daughter is now half owner of my M900. ![Smiley](http://ducatimonsterforum.org/Smileys/classic/smiley.gif)

She always wanted a Ducati monster. She's a natural on a bike. She'll need a track bike too for sure. A CBR400 or NC30 would fit the bill I reckon. I test rode the bike today, you could feel it has lost some bite. Good! ![laughingdp](http://ducatimonsterforum.org/Smileys/classic/laughdmf.gif) Feels pretty tame. It's not considered protective to let your kids ride motorbikes, but we don't live in fear.

Yep. I would regret losing it for sure. I own half of it now.

Good for you. Can't wait to get my daughter on a motorcycle. But I have a ways to go. She's only 7, lol.

Congrats to you and your daughter. My daughter dipped her toes into the water about ten years ago with an Suzuki LS650 Savage thumper/cruiser, but the inoculation didn't take, and she's not been on two wheels since then.
As a father (and retired MSF instructor) who had all three kids learn to ride, I think initially taking the edge off the power delivery is a smart move!

Congrats Tony- we understand! Keep those parts !
Our 2 young daughters may stay passengers if mom's wishes are honored. But you never know.

Gotta find a stock seat and lower the ride height a little too.

That's what I was thinking as I was doing it. ![Tongue](http://ducatimonsterforum.org/Smileys/classic/tongue.gif) Might put the stock flywheel and steel clutch back in too ![vomit](http://ducatimonsterforum.org/Smileys/classic/smiley_puke.gif)

I like it! It's a double-win: less power while she learns to get a handle on the bike, then after time you can add back the mods with her so she can learn to wrench. Instant daddy/daughter bonding. ![waytogo](http://ducatimonsterforum.org/Smileys/classic/waytogo.gif)
