front wheel

Hi,
I'm looking for a brembo black front wheel for my 2002 monster m600. Do you know if it is the same as other monsters and other ducati models (i.e. 748, 916, 996,998)?
Thanks a lot

I think you'll find all Monster wheels will fit (that is the later version with the thicker axle), but not sure the superbike ones will - the hub spacing may be different as I believe the discs have a different offset...

If you're interested I have a pair of mirror polished Brembo 3 spoke wheels from my M620 for sale - 3.5 inch front, 4.5 inch rear in excellent condition, fitted with part worn Pirello Diablos 120/70 and 160/60... looking for £300 the pair...

Thanks for replying, but I spoke to a ducati dealer and he said that the only wheels which fit a 2001 M600 are the ones for M600, M750, M900 in the 2000, 2001 years. Even if most ducatis use brembo 3.5 x 17 there seems to be differences in spindles or similar problems

That could be case, but as far as I am aware, all the Monsters from around 1999 onwards had the thicker axles of the current range (the earler bikes had a thinner axle spindle) when they changed the forks... what size is your front wheel nut? if it's 28mm, then the later wheels will fit...

bit of a story there methinks..............

I have 998 forks (from a 2001 998) with a '98 900 ie ss front wheel and spindle in my monster special - into which I have also put my wheel off the DD bike (2001 M600) to run a tyre in into them!

So they do interchange between some models..............

I'll move this over to "technical" for you





Welcome to the club btw!

I went for the dealer advice. I'm buying a wheel off him for 180 pounds (100 the wheel + 80 to spray it black). I feel too little technically competent and new to ducatis to risk buying wheels I'm not 100% sure they will fit. The dealer has been trustworthy so far (Snell motorcycle from Alton).
By the way I live in central London, do you reccomend any good (quality, price) ducati mechanics in central london? (I live near metropolis but not sure they are the best value for money).

Rosso Corse is an independent Ducati specialst near Bethnal Green, they're really good for spares and repairs, know exactly what they're doing and they don't charge silly money. http://www.rossocorse.co.uk/
