Thanks for the feedback. Your review gives me the confidence that the Monster 937 is a good choice for my needs regardless of upgrades I may want. Looking forward to getting back into the twisties out here in Chesapeake Bay and piedmont region. Enjoy your videos…very informative and concise.

It’s been a little cold lately so I’ve been heading to Montezuma Grade the past couple of weekends. I’ll be back though. Glad you’re liking the videos. We’ve got various events planned at the studio if you’re around. Check out the events page at www.TularosaMoto.com.

What about Forged Aluminum Wheels like OZ or Titax? They have wheel sets that fit the Monster Plus. I am considering buying. They are lighter than the factory cast wheels that come with the Monster.

Awesome narrative

Excellent video. I have been considering the suspension upgrades for mine, but based on this review and considering the roads and lack of track access, it might not be worth the investment. Truly, a well put together assessment. Side note, what jacket are you wearing during the commentary? Is it fashion or riding?

@tularosamoto

It's a riding jacket with thick leather and armor in the shoulders and elbows but comfortable enough to just wear when you're out for the day. You can find it here: tularosamoto.com/products/motorosa-zozo-jacket (PS: Use discount code 20OFFJACKETS at checkout to save a little cash.)

Nice! Are you going to switch to aluminum sprockets and litium battery?

I’ve swapped out to a 520 chain/sprocket setup already. I’ll replace the stock battery with a lithium when the stock battery dies. It’s not big enough a weight difference to be worth the expense.

Great video…I am considering purchase of a new 937 (maybe SP model). Your thoughts! (I am familiar with Ducati having owned and enjoyed a 2001 750SS back in the day.)

Unless you're pushing hard on the track or in the canyons, the SP version is overkill. Most of the riders who go with the SP never take advantage of upgrades. They pay more but that's about it.

the exaust that you installed is far way MORE beautifuul than sp exaust SP ducati

Really good video 👍

23' Monster SP. I am 2/3 the way thru the exhaust portion. MIVV decat, Zard slip on (db killers are out too). Gnarly is an understatement! The ECU flash is up next, and I intend to use Shift Tech as well. That part of your video went too fast! Lol. I gather its under the tank, so Ill try to fumble my way to it. Is there any way you could show that articular process? I'd love to touch base, can I message with you somewhere that could be easier?

We don’t have a video for this but taking out the ECU is actually fairly easy. It’s under the tank. Once you get the tank off, the ECU is pretty obvious. I went to my Ducati dealer and asked to see the service manual that shows where it’s located before I did the work. That helped.

Regarding all upgrades cost (except exhaust ones), i feel like a monster sp isn’t that overpriced for your use? Right? I mean olhins setup, steering damper (sure its stock one and not the 500$ one but could be enought to correct the slight need). Sure it come with termi muffler that are useless on decat, but it could be sold to pay for decat and new muffler + flash. So it leaves only a tailtidy. Mirors. And grips. Thats fair.

The SP wasn’t available when I bought my Monster but yes if you’re an advanced rider who plans on pushing the bike in the twisties and on the track, the SP is worth the money. If you’re just out for to cruise, the SP won’t make a difference other than looks.

Жыл бұрын

If you’re going to swap out your battery, I’d go with Lithium. The weight savings however isn’t that great so I decided that it wasn’t worth the expense to swap out the stock battery that’s still doing its job.

Will the ECU tune cause any issues with getting regular servicing at Ducati? More than likely they can assume/tell that the ECU has been changed with the aftermarket/non-Termignoni exhaust system. I’d like to get this same setup with my ‘23 Monster, but am apprehensive because of this possible issue.

I don’t take my bike to the dealer for service so it’s not an issue for me. That said, my dealer doesn’t care one way or the other. Bikes are constantly being outfitted with aftermarket pipes. If they refused to service them, they’d lose way too much business.

Have you ridden a naked bike before? At first the wind seems like a lot but then you get used to it. If you’re looking for something like a touring windscreen, I don’t think you’ll find one. If comfort is your goal, then a more sport touring bike would be a better option. If you’re riding on the twisty mountain roads north of Santa Cruz or up by Mt Tam, you won’t need a windscreen. The freeways will be an issue but you just grind them out.

The Evotech looks pretty good. The blinkers still stick out but they’re a lot smaller.

Are you sure your ECU has been remapped? You sent the ECU to a company that has neither a physical address nor a tax number. Just a mailbox. Why do you think that if anything has changed in your ECU that it is good? The company doesn't even have a test stand, otherwise they would advertise it! Try to find any serious information in www and you will see!

There are new devices on the market that will allow a user to input a new map without having to remove the ECU. It will be easy to swap tunes with them.
