Hey Chris,

Not sure if you can help but, I purchased and received a pair of short-stalk black Monstrack mirrors about 3 weeks ago. The problem is that the mounting bolt on the left mirror is just a little bit loose. I think that the drift pin is not tight allowing just enough play to make the mirror vibrate enough to severely compromise visibility at highway speed. Will I need to return this mirror and wait........until it can be repaired or replaced???? I have no other mirrors and would hope a new one might be payed for and shipped and money refunded once Monstrack receives the defective unit so that I can continue riding??? Please help or direct me to someone who can...

Thanks very much,
Dan

If you look long and hard enough I do not think there is a question out here that cannot be answered via other threads already posted! This place rocks! [thumbsup]

You sound like a real professional (more than I can say for my Ducati dealer shop).
I may be spoiled - having owned several Japanese liter bikes in the past decade, but I would rate the performance of my NEW '08 695 as poor at best!
Handling is what sold me during the test ride but the engine?
I had the 600 mile service done and mentioned what seemed to me to be a lean condition off idle that had the bike backfiring. The dealer said that they typically adjust the lean condition as much as possible during the initial service but I did not feel much difference.
After I got it home, I synced the cylinders via the intake vaccum with mercury gages and the air/fuel screws and found a happy medium between running well off idle and having a flat spot at about 3,500 rpm.
Will I have to live with this the entire time I own this machine (which may not be long if this keeps up), or will I have to invest more $ on modifications to get my M695 to run as good as it looks?

Hi first time on the forum name is Ducdan.
Could someone please answer these questions for me?
I own a 2007 MS2R 800 and would like to raise the handle bars but keep the original handle bars will I have enough cable and line to do this mod?
I would also like to know if there is anything I can do with my stock factory pipes?
Is there any restrictors on the 2007 monster MS2R.

Chris, I love CA Cycleworks. Buy all my stuff there regardless of how much the Canadian border is going to ding me on taxes.

Hi- JUst bought a 2009 Monster 1100S and was wondering if I should buy the Ducati charger or some aftermarket brand. Also, how hard is it to attatch it to the battery.
Thanks

Hello,
Monster 1100, BST 6'' rear wheels ... What's the maximum tire width I can go with? 200 fine?

Chris, I am a new member, have had valves adjusted at least 5 times, "DNA" provided cams once, will not go back to the shop that did previous adjust, can you recommend a good service manuel that I might learn to adjust the valves on my 2002 S-4, I am now a student, was a deckhand, can turn a wrench, but know when to seek assistance. Thanks general mills
