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.

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.

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?

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.)

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.

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.
@thomasbouvier32032 ай бұрын
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.

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.

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.
