OK, today is payday and I wanna order some stuff. Is the clutch cover easy to swap out? Looks like a few bolts and thats about it... also any thoughts on other simple swaps would be appreciated.

yep bolts...but you have a wet clutch there young man!
I would look for tires dude.....and clip ons....and zip ties for your levers. And a rear height adjuster.

But I the chinka chinka chinka sound. I though all Ducs were dry clutch...? What clip ons are you talking about? Why should I change the tires? They are fine...zip ties will cost nothin. How much is a Sargent gonna run me?

That would have been messy!

The 600/620/750 monsters have a wet clutch (it's bathed in oil). The 900 has a dry clutch. Not sure about the 03's.

I understand the difference between wet/dry. And do you think I would do something like that w/o asking. Well yeah, I suppose I have done worse...
I just have the itch to get more on it- or off. know what I mean?

Tony call Tom @ Manley, the Vortex clip ons that Kevin is trading in will fit your bike. Im sure Tom would treat ya right on them.

what is the benefit of those?
what else do you think I could do on my own?
as far as MAnley goes, I do need to stop down there and check out the stuff on clearance. Wouldnt mind getting a new seat.

They tend to make the bike less squirly under hard acceleration as your getting more weight over the front wheel. You need these ;D

are you trying to tell me I am fat? that along with Retro's comments about me looking like the Michelin man in my riding gear, makes me sad. I am taking my ball and going home.... :'(

 

[Guest]

ya know thinking about it...seat good......clip ons good......
rear ride adjuster good....mudguard replacement good, look no further than retro's $40.00 cnc piece.
function and beauty.can't go wrong......

 

[Guest]

if ya remember it was John who suggested tires, I agree simply because you may want to get something a little oh say stickier, but it sounds like you want to add things you can do yourself.....so then do you want foo foo bits or performance bits or both.....
?
your cap is leaking for example....

a little bit of foofoo is ok. makes it pretty. I will get the ride height adjuster, I just wonder if I can do it on my own. Need to do the chop also. How much do you think your clip ons are worth? or rather- what price would they go for? how about new?

 

[Guest]

or here for example is a really cool piece......

 

[Guest]

don't chop now.......well if want go ahead.....don't remember but they were the least expensive ones and good quality......$140.00 retail?
....but it will take some time getting used to the clip ons...but you will enjoy the twistys much more....
okay I vote clip ons and tail piece....plus you can get some groovey renthal grips for the clip ons......

 

[Guest]

being a harrier mechanic you should be able to do the adjuster if you have the tools......some straps, and wrenches you can use mine or I am sure we could go to Johns Juice Box Garage....

you will poof less with the clip ons and go faster with the retro tail piece. ;D

Did I say it was only forty dollars?

 

[MATTinMN]

Have you taken off the emissions crap yet? That's a good way to help cleaning up things. If I was using your money I'd get some new rear-set's. Or a pair of those fancy clear belt covers - or the ones with the windows where you can see the belts spinning.

 

[ducman851]

No Tony!! I didnt say you were fat. Its just Kevin that says that. Monsers are know to be abit squirley under hard acceleration as your more upright and the weight is more towards the back.

Oh to do the Adjuster you need to hang the rear of the bike from something to get the weight off of it. Otherwise it just falls onthe floor.

 

[Guest]

show me one post where I said tony was fat!
I only said he must have a really strong grip
from hanging on when his riding suit gets puffy
in the wind.....
