Ducati Newbie

Hello to you all and thank you for the membership. It's nice to know there is a larger community out there with resource that can be pulled upon in times of need.

My name is Keith and i have been into biking for around 35 years although this is the first Ducati i have owned.

Current bike is the Monster 796 2012 which was given to me by my brother after it was stolen / recovered. Due to the fact the toe rags could not start the Duke, they set about with a hammer. So i have inherited a nice bike with lots of damage so i will be looking towards you guys in times of need.

Regards

Couldn’t be in a better forum for technical knowledge.

Welcome aboard, Keith.

If you've got some cosmetic damage from the theft, that sounds like an excuse for some upgrades and modifications! (And a great winter project!)

Also, if you're new to Ducatis, you may find the low-speed running 'challenging', especially if you're coming from a Japanese in-line four. Many on here, (myself included), have found that a reflash improves matters greatly. Here's the most recent thread on the subject (also featuring a 796).
