Ducati 620 monster help

Gday again,

I'm about to look at a Monster 620 that was built 12/2001, could this mean
it has the 02 specs (I think in 02 the monster took on Fuel injection).

Reason I ask is i've seen a few Jap bikes that have had this trait of taking
the next years specs during the last month of the prior year - so I'm now
not 100% sure if it is the 01 model.

I have a couple of low res pictures already, would there be any obvious
differences to be able to spot that its a 01 or 02 model. (no - cant make
out the CP info either!)

I cant make out if the front suspension has adjustability - I know that was
new for 02... they both seemed to have 320's and dual pot brembos..

I know - all I need to do is go look at it, but I cant get there for
another week, the person selling is no use since they're selling it on the
owners behalf - they really have no idea.

Any thoughts???

Thanks

yes, save your money... get a real bike.

 

if it is a 620 its definitely an efi model.
the 600 were carbed.
and ignore biggus and hatz as they are one and the same and very multi
personalitied

 

and ignore biggus and hatz as they are one and the same

You are cruel.. but ask Roop or Slej, them knows the trooth...

 

Thanks for the heads up

I appreciate that, good stuff, so to clarify, did EFI only come out in 02
?

Good bike Jason, steer clear of the VFR800 - they really are a shit
bike....despite what some people say~

Not sure about years, but the 600 was carby then the 620 came out with efi,
so it's one or the other, not both.

 

Excellent, thanks !

Is there anything obvious from the outside to look for to see if it is the
EFI version, I cant make out the writing under the seat, there seems to be
a gold throttle rocker, previous to this it didnt seem so noticable, also
the seemingly older models had what looks like a vacuum disc placed
vertically in the same area, would that be a sign of a non EFI bike?

JasonBW

 

If you look for EFI but see carbies, it's a carby model. Conversely.......

If it's a 620, it's EFI. If it's a 600, it's not a 620.

 

you arent listening real well are ya ??

if it is a 620 then it is efi

the 600 had carbs , 620 went EFI with a power gain

 

hehehehe you've read my theory
Yeos slej and rupes have met you and told me they think you are hatz as
well

 

lift the tank
it reveals all.
the tank is hinged and easy to lift with one bolt removed.
You will either see throttle bodies and the injectors or you'll see carbs.
but if it says 620 then rest assured it's efi.

 

he's not paying attention, we might have to split his cases

 

Well Iwas going to say get a R1000RS but for that, he should get a
boatanchor.

 

the r1000rs is a boat anchor
the r1100s on the other hand is a class bike
(shaddup johno)

 

waits
WOOHOO...there's case splittin afoot!!

 

not on me sir, I was paying attention, I was sir !! I havent seen the
bike yet, so Im hoping that the carbys will be obvious.. I guess being a
totally naked bike they *should* be... until I read that post describing
the tank being lifted, good stuff.. now I can tell for certain. Thanks
Smee.

Thanks all.

X-No-archive: yes

But first he should drain the dry clutch!

X-No-archive: yes
Yep... the carbies will be obvious (when Smack shoves them up your arse for
not listening about the EFI!!)
