Hello people, newer rider here.

I bought a used Monster 696 about 1 1/2 months ago with 34000km on it and been riding with it now around 1500km so far.

Love the bike and have a lot of fun.

Only one thing concerns me a little bit. The clutch felt harder to shift at the beginning. I could not even get it into neutral if I didnt roll it a bit.

But now it feels somehow smoother and easier to shift and I can also shift into neutral rather easy (not as easy as a Kawa for Sure) while standing still.

Now I am starting to be a little concerned if I fucked the clutch somehow and maybe at some point it could give out?

Something I could check if the clutch is alright? Maybe do an oil change or something to make sure?

I just really dont want to destroy that bike because of carelessness.

And bigger self (since 749s)

Hi guys, just bought a 2014 Panigale 899.

Alls good with the bike except for an issue with the throttle at 3-4k rpm where it feels like its very jerky and the power feels like its cut or itll suddenly give me too much.

Anyone had any similar issue to it and what would be a remedy?

Picture attached if anyones curious

Between 5/6K the bike starts stuttering like it is running on 1 cylinder or misfiring. Things that I have checked or replaced since I have the problem
TPS sensor
Reservoir breathing tubes
Sparks brand new
Coils 1 of them is brand new
Desmo is checked and the belt and pulleys are replaced
Brand new chain and teeth
The exhaust valve motor is removed and replaced with healtech eliminator
And a brand new voltage regulator
Per the guy that I am working on it with the only logical thing left to check is the ECU if by any chance it is damaged. Please advise if you had experience with that issue.
The engine is only on 14000km / 8699 miles

Ive met a random guy with a 2020 Ducati V4S and after we’d ridden a bit he let me try it out and wow. To anyone using that as a daily rider : hats off to you (I’ve the 701 SM)

taking my 2025 v4s for a rip

Considering a 2022 with 1400 miles at a Ducati near me for $12.4 USD. Coming from a ‘25 Pani V4 I know it’s an entirely different experience but my concern lies with a 4 year old bike with such low miles having sat a ton. Any current owners have good/bad experience with their 1200S?

If you were to recommend a 2nd Ducati to someone of any year(s) and model which would it be?

The housing for the threaded insert opened up and now it won't stay in, any ideas on how to keep this in there or ways to get around this? I tried blue thread lock but the opening is too big and the threaded nut didn't stay. I was thinking a nut and washer to replace this but I don't have the access behind this plastic part when screwing in the body cowl covering 4601H641AA. I don't want to replace the entire part shown, 4601I431A.

I currently ride an 05 kawasaki zx636. I have done track days but only novice, im not competitive.
I really want an rc51, the gear driven cams and sounds are amazing. Im desiring the fatter power band and sound of the v twin. However apparently parts are a freaking nightmare, like nla everything.
How are parts availability for the 1098 to 1199? Desmo and maintenance looks easy to work on. I have a large well stocked shop.
Are there parts compatibility between the 3 models?
Also are ducati service manuals well written and easy to get?
Thanks! Never thought id entertain the idea of ducati ownership.

I’m looking for some help on this one, anyone experience this code before, how did you resolve the issue? Anything to try before replace a specific part? I have reset the code several times and it keeps popping back up

TIA
