no the bike has some safties on it

There is a capped connector in that area of the bike

I kept the relay just disconnected the hoses from it

shift tech

The Upmap is a lazy bit of software that simply flashes the stock ECU with a downloadable "racing" fuel/air map. It will run better with it but not 100% required. For a few bucks more, the RapidBike is a much better investment.

The 821 had the fb killers removed the 1200 has them in. With them out the 1200 is just as deep and loud

It came with it

No was just changing the tank for looks

as long as you don't disconnect any of the electrical plugs I don't see why not

muzglimy yea it is a big engine so the big detriment as a city bike for me was it doesn’t like being in low rpms and in summer the exhaust gets hot as hell, if you get stuck in traffic it gets super hot. I wound up going for the rninet which is a great city bike but different style, I’d say also try the 821 is you wanna stick to monster, it’s lighter and less hot with smaller engine. One you get out of the city the 1200 is awesome, great highway and twisties bike.

DIY Ducati ah I see, appreciate your input ! My 696 gets borderline too hot in the summer and lurches a bit in slow speeds. Can only imagine how the 1200 feels in the same situation lol

New York City on Two Wheels for sure

Bo Zhang yes look for max akaido on Instagram he makes them custom

Yea just moved the fuel pump from one tank to the orher

Hello sorry it was confusing, this was a demo ride of the speed twin not the monster. The monster was the second rider's bike. They are very different machines so not a fair comparison. Depends what you're looking for. The bike is a demo bike and has been broken on the concern of revving.

@@diyducati8252 No worries it was still a good video. I haven't seen those bikes together. Which one was louder and in your opinion sounded better? Yes, they are very different. The ST seems more like a bike that you ride on whereas the Monster is a bike that you kind of ride in.

bc67 I think you got that right. ST more on top and monster you sit in it more. Monster has more insane power and better handling as well as more sophisticated electronics and sport bike brakes. Also sound wise I don’t think any bike can compare to a Ducati with termignoni exhaust which the bike has. The negatives of the monster is it hates low rpm riding so can be a pain in the city and gets really hot in traffic. The bike feels really good ridden fast. The ST is an awesome modern classic and has a turnkey and go feel to it. The power is great, it’s light and nimble and would be great for city and curvy riding. The sound is actually really nice even with the stock exhaust.

I wonder if the 821 hates low rpm riding too. Totally agree about the sound of a Monster. Even out of the box they're the best sounding bikes on the road and I can always tell when one is coming. Agree about the Speed Twin exhaust too. I wouldn't change it. Same is true for the Street Twin. Have you heard an 821 with stock exhaust and be able to comment on whether it's louder than the Speed Twin? I am not looking for loud but do appreciate a great sounding bike, especially the thunder of a Ducati.

bc67 yes I have, a friend of my has the 821. It sounds great stock tho he promptly got the termignoni exhaust on it, the upmap that comes with it makes the bike run way smoother as well

I don’t have a video but its a direct bolt on. I bought the mudguard used off a 2012 gsa and then looked up the parts fiche for that bike for the bolts needed, one of which is a special spacer. Then its just direct bolt on.

Thanks for your quick response. I got all the parts for the mudguard but wonder what you used as a plate holder and where you routed the cabling for the plate light. Thanks again.

Silaxe1 i had an extra license plate bracket, i drilled the mudguard to fIX the bracket and then ran the license plate light cable along the inside and then along the rear brake kine

DJ MotoVlogs he has the 848

@@diyducati8252 Thanks, I just noticed you included that info in the description.

Hey man, the cowl was the OEM one and I cut out and put a vinyl carbon fiber strip on it. The Ducati decal on the strip was just a sticker off eBay. HVMC event sounds cool. I can't make it tomorrow but let me know if you'e able to ride next Sunday

DIY Ducati thanks! Next Sunday sounds good, I’ll drop you a line.

Basic gist I unburt fuel and oil is recirculated into your engine, while better for emissions over time it can get buildup and hard starts. Checkout this video

No errors but make sure you don’t disconnect the valve connector hitch is under that plastic side piece at the front left of bike (I just removed the hoses from it and left the connector and valve in place)

Great. Thanks 👍 will give it a try

DucLife tbh no the higher bars rizoma makes which are the ma008 I originally had or ma011 that replaced them are better for longer trips. The drag bars are ok for touring but I would get tired and are more for curvy riding and getting into a tuck in than ideal for distance

I like it a lot. The monster was a beast, too much sometimes when you want to push it. Definitely a super capable bike though. The BMW is great for the city, almost same torque as monster so great from stoplight to stoplight. Simple bike, doesn't burn your thigh in city, just enough power where you can wring it out, great classic style and engine w character. For me I wanted something different from Ducati for a bit. Monster is a sick bike if you don't do any city riding and want the best performany. BMW if you want simple, classic looks, good power and smooth power.

you can ask him about his advanced class, this one was beginners yea

Wrong. Not with the slip-ons. The exhaust valve is still on the exhaust system so no ECU needed as the VALVE is what regulates the back pressure not the cans. Educate yourself next time you comment.

Ukrainianification yea that's a good point I've been thinking about parting out the extras and just selling it w some of the stock parts for a lower price

You may even sell it for nearly the same price and faster because most shoppers are looking for stock bikes thinking that they would be less likely to be abused.
