... I know (I once restored an ex-RN Series 3 Lightweight 88, with no respect for originality) when Albie was interviewed by Practical Sportsbikes about his 93 900 they coined the phrase ‘elephant counter’ instead

I just cant help myself. I get obsessed. Doing the same almost with the grandsons TY80. But I'm still mighty proud.

But the later (1998 on? [43310281C]) is still available. I think the higher lines represent about 250ml over the earlier sticker. Last edited by Luddite; 17-06-2020 at 10:03 AM.. Reason: Pictures swapped round (thanks, Albie!) |

It looks to me that the later levels are lower than the original ?

Thanks Darkness, I'll definitely put the sticker where you and Albie have mentioned.
I think I have some early smaller coffin master cylinders if anyone is interested, I replaced them with new ones as the rubber boots aren't in great nick and I didn't have the time or patience to strip them down. I think I also have a rear master cylinder with a 93 date stamp on it. On a separate note, would anyone know how much the DP carbon dashes are worth with the digital tacho and a speedometer? I have a couple of these that I might look to part with. Last edited by Ross090; 17-06-2020 at 09:20 AM.. |

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.

If it's an early one and you fit the later sticker with the higher lines, then just treat the bottom edge of the decal as the minimum and the maximum mark will be about in line with the bottom of the word Max. What you wouldn't want to do is to top up an early bike to the later Max line as that would be over-filled. |

Looking at the 916 cover posted on ebay, it shows that the MAX line corresponds to the middle of the sight glass so this is what I am working to on my early Monster until such time as a sticker turns up. You never know.

Did anything change in ‘98 to need the extra oil depth, or is it just to be on the safe side?
