Just bought a Monster 600 - SV650.org

We collected a nice little Ducati Monster 600 for Mrs Flymo last night. Nice looking bike, plenty of character.

It seems that its fairly easy to get hold of a workshop manual download.... if you speak German!

Was zur Hölle haben wir getan?

You'll likely find a manual in English, if you look hard enough, or join a Duc forum and they'll point you to one.

The Raptor manual comes in German, with a hint of Italian, unless you look hard enough, and AndyBrad gives you a disk in full English

yeah, will keep looking. Got this one fairly cheap, its a 1999 M600. Mostly good nick, couple of minor bits and pieces need sorting out.

Main point is that the neutral switch is buggered and so has no neutral light, a bit of a pain for somebody getting back into riding for the first time in a while. However, we have the technology

We did discuss the idea, seemed a bit 'Harold and Hilda' to have two bikes the same/nearly the same. One step down from matching lids and leathers

i wonder if it's the same one MrsDJfridge just sold

Don't think so, I bought it from a lad in Newcastle. he may well be along here anytime soon as his next bike was planned to be an SV.

ahhh i see the plan, your wanting to practice your spannering and looking at stuff that hardly moves
