...and lets not forget, the 900 was the original Monster, innit?

weren't the old air cooled things a trial before they made proper bikes with plumbing?
testing the water?

Albie · 23-09-2009, 09:16 PM

No the 900 turned into the prince of 1100. Pedro or Fatbloke may help you.

uksurfer · 23-09-2009, 09:18 PM

think i'll be leaving now........

I'd have thought the M750's as they share the same bore, stroke and capacity as the old F1 Rutter bikes.

Do you need to test the water in them then??
Is it set to some special index of watery goodness using only fluids collected, from a secret spring in the nearby Apennine mountains, by virgins under a full moon..

Or does ordinary water do it??

Nickj · 23-09-2009, 09:28 PM

Or is it just straight out of the po ??

23-09-2009, 09:28 PM

Well, i suppose if you get really stuck, you can always pi$$ in the radiator.
The 900's don't suffer from the same malaise, apparently!

Oh absolutely not. You must have an additive that can be found at the Halfords in most modernistic cities. Without this fluid the beast will howl and break into hundreds of pieces and the entrails will hang out.

Saying that my 1100 and the other guys bikes got mighty hot waiting at folkstone terminal. Wish I had my water and fans for a brief moment.

I only posted this for a bit of craic. But now we're on the subject i always liked the Ducati style and then when the "Original" Monster came out, That was it for me i had to get one. but since then i think Ducati have lost it a wee bit...... i'm saying no more!!!

Albie · 23-09-2009, 09:31 PM

You may be right but I personally intend to make a good bike out of a bad job kind of thing.

PS I had a lovely m900 1997 R plate.

Plus, if watercooling also quietens the engine...then how can they sound as magnificent as the air-cooled models...such as the 900, for instance?
