Is there a more timeless silhouette than that of a Monster? The trellis frame, the single-sided swingarm look and that GPR exhaust… it rides just as well as it looks. What do you think?

I'm getting the bike ready for the Colorado summer, and I'm feeling a little disappointed. Unsatisfied? Maybe just feeling like it's lacking something. The bike rides great, but it feels like it needs something new to give it a fresh pop.

Any ideas? or am I just overthinking it and needing to get out and rid?

Don’t have license yet but when I saw it, couldn’t not, not buying it! Only 11000km

I got tired of dealing with Indian Customs asking more than twice of what I already paid for a Beeline Moto2, and can’t afford to buy another one at the prices its available at these days (which is unreasonable for an Indian market IMO, where you can get a RE Tripper Pod for 5000 INR and get 60% of the functionality, or buy an old phone & permanently mount it to your bike for a MUCH better experience)

There are a few people trying to do something similar for an Indian market but none of them seem to be open source or have shown any signs commercial availability anytime soon.

So, I decided to get an ESP32S3 with a circular screen - total cost close to 3000, and designed an end to end system that relays navigation info while keeping the form factor EXTREMELY small (so it doesn’t look out of place on a bike, and can be made to look like a part of the bike with 3D Printing, which a phone mount will never be able to achieve)

I’m still struggling with navigation via OpenStreetMap since Google Maps wants money for everything and I’ll need even more money to build an actual iOS app since Apple would want a developer certificate to publish apps… Can anyone help with either of these next steps ?

Has anyone in here installed O2 Sensor Eliminators to solve the poor low speed running on a 2016 Monster 821? (Low Speed Surge Issue / Smoother Throttle Response)

Or is a Booster Plug a better solution?

My Ducati Monster 937 keeps throwing ABS + traction control errors after a few km of riding.

It shows “traction control error” and “ABS error”. If I stop the bike, turn it off and back on, both errors disappear — then they come back again after some more riding.

Diagnostic showed C1033 and C1034, both related to the front ABS sensor.

Another weird thing: when there’s no error, if I try to switch from Touring to Sport it says “Close throttle.”
When the error is active, it says “Close throttle and release brakes” even when I’m not touching the brakes.

My mechanic adjusted the air gap between the front ABS sensor and tone ring by removing a spacer. It’s now at 1.0 mm.

Has anyone seen this before? Could it still be sensor alignment, a damaged tone ring, wiring/connector issue, or maybe the bike falsely thinks the front brake is applied?

I picked up a project bike a few weeks ago (99 monster 750) grounded the battery which was the reason it hadn’t started in a year, and did all the other basics including a carb rebuild before painting the tank and I’m hopefully finishing it up soon!
I thought my carb jetting was a little on the lean side I think I’m 3.5 turns out right now.. but this happened on my ride to work this morning. I think it got a little hot.

Can anybody tell me what this wire is for ? It came off while riding and melted a little on my pipe, didnt even realize till i got home. Cant figure out what its for just assuming its some type of sensor
