2006 Ducati Monster S2R into and initial troubleshooting.

I purchased a non running 2006 Ducati Monster S2R 800. In this video I do the initial troubleshooting and get it to fire for the first time.
I purchased the replacement fuel pump from All Balls Racing: www.allballsracing.com/47-203...

[@bznupe30]

Hey Jim, how many miles was on that Monster, you purchased?

[@daytonagrayghost]

Just over 16k

[@zacha8934]

@@daytonagrayghost oh boy. That’s a rough 16k. I’m at 16300 on my 07 and she looks and rides like she’s brand new. Hardly even a blemish on it. I bought it 3 years ago off the original owner, engine at almost 12k. I try to run purely non ethanol in the bike. Luckily I have a gas station near buy who sells it.

How did you find this gem!?!?! It's so hard to find non-running Monsters and I'm looking for an S2R 800/1000 build myself!

I heard you mention a parts source in this video, who would that be and where are they. I also own a 2006 S2R 800.

[@daytonagrayghost]

I purchased the fuel pump from All Balls Racing www.allballsracing.com/47-2030.html. The OEM Ducati parts I buy through Ducati of Omaha as they sell wholesale to the public.
