M900 Newbie

01-06-2017, 11:56 AM

Afternoon,

recently joined to read up a bit on Monsters and have just bought a '94 M900 (off another Ducati forum).

so far, pleased with the bike, just needs the engine having a not too pleasing gold paint job on it (not by the previous owner, I should add), and to adjust the gearshift rod to get better up changes (a few false neutrals were found on the upshift, but seems a common thing that adjustment and a firmer boot will fix).

already a Ducati owner, with a 998s as my garage queen, and the monster now should save my auld back and wrists from too much grief.

anyway, will go further trawling on here and post pictures once I get the Monster insured and the weather is nice again (rain forecast for Friday-Sunday up here - standard!)

Cheers,

Pete

Hi there and welcome, which other Ducati forum did you buy the bike from ?

Hmm .. our original welcome was a bit sparse.
Must've hit a holiday spot or something.
Welcome along.

I saw the bike on the other forum and thought it looked a load better than its former owner gave it credit for.
I quite liked the gold too, in the context of the rest of the bike.
