The noob questions begin... M400

[HongKongPhooey]

I've tried, unsuccessfully, to research a few items for my lesser-spotted ex-Japan based M400 Monster. So, thought I'd leave these Qs here and see what happens... 👍

Anyone know which manual is best for servicing the 400? Will a Haynes manual for a 600 do the job?

Anyone know where I can pick up a workshop manual?

The bike didn't come with a seat cowl; will a 600 or 750 one fit? And if so, anyone know the part number? Boggo red one will do the job as I really don't need any carbon malarkey (yet!)


Any advice greatly appreciated!

The seat cowl should fit as long as its from the same age monster. I think the only real difference between a 600 and a 400 is the cylinder bore/stroke. All other parts should be the same from what I remember. I don't have the part numbers for the cowl though.

Thanks Don!

I'll get searching for a 2000my M600 seat cowl then... FleaBay here i come.

Any year seat cowl should fit, even the older ones are the same up until the new shape monsters around '07/'08 eg 696/796/1100 etc Those are different altogether.

Thanks Darren!


Anyone out there got insight on a workshop/Haynes manual to look after this one?

Cheers!

Theres a copy of the 2001 400 on Ducati's own website.

Doesn't go back any older, is that close enough?

[Darren69]

BTW the Haynes manual should cover you for cycle parts if they are the same as a 600 but I don't know about the engine specs if they are the same on a 400, most things will be but cylinders, pistons and valves etc will not be the same.

Thanks again, Darren.

I couldn't find the 400 one; only went back as far as 2001 on the site. Still, I'm sure that will do the job.


Just been out and looks like the fuel tank sender is kaput. I have my first repair to get on with!
