Early M900 Engine Agip Sticker Placement

Hi,

Can anyone tell me where a 1993 M900 had the original agip sticker near the clutch? Is it directly above the clutch or a bit to the right?

Thanks,
Ross

I think Albie's probably the man for a definitive answer but I don't think there was a single 'approved' position. I've seen them by the oil pressure switch as in slob's picture but also directly above the clutch as here.



Perhaps it depends on the year or perhaps it depends on who stuck it on in the factory.

Or who the sponsor was etc.

My Monster engine ('95) had an Agip sticker in the more forward position, I've repainted it black and so has nothing now but my 916 has a (Shell Advance) sticker in the more upright position - I assume this is because:

1. Shell were paying more than Agip at that time, at least for racing purposes.
2. 916 has a fairing so it would not be visible in the forward position.

Maybe someone more used to building 916 engines stuck the sticker on the Monster with the upright positioning? Maybe the case was swapped in production as they are the same (colour maybe different though). Quite possibly they moved it to the top later for consistency with other models (such as 916 etc.) where the positioning was more 'important' or it's just one of those things that lack consistency.

I need to check mine now I dont recall where but I have spares. Some agip ones are different too if your being picky. Some had dates and miles.

Is it possible to buy a sticker ? I'm also in the market for an oil level sticker if anyone knows a source.

Thanks
Nigel

Agip stickers are available here:

Albie, again, might be able to help with your search for an oil level decal as he had to source one for his rebuild.

I had to buy a whole clutch cover then I sold the cover on without. Needs must sometime. If you know an artist or a specialist printer like www I say ding dong.com they may print you 1 or 5 you can then apply to some alloy or direct. You just need to send them a sample image

If you do have to buy a few I’m thinking you could sell the spares on here - I’d be interested for a start!

The correct early decal (whether original [43310281A] or repro) doesn't seem to be around anymore.



But the later (1998 on? [43310281C]) is still available.



I think the higher lines represent about 250ml over the earlier sticker.

I'm not sure I get your logic.
It looks to me that the later levels are lower than the original ?

The later levels are the higher ones. Stein Dinse still list the later part for M900 ‘98 onwards.

The top one here is later version



This one below is early Monster and Ducati SS and 916



Look out on ebay for Ducati SS and 916 clutch casings if you need a plate.
Or you could buy another and repaint the black out and scrape back the black in the right place. Neatly of course.

I know I have a replacement to go on my engine soon but not sure which one, do you think the oil quantity between the two will make any difference?
