Owner Comments: The Monster is probably my favorite series of Ducati models because of its versatility, ease of access for maintenance, and overall fun factor. Still, if you considering one, get a fuel injected one. If not fuel injected, get one with a set of 41mm Keihin flatslides. In short, I’ve dealt with the Mikuni carbs on many Ducatis and hate them. I’ve kept my M900 fairly reliable by keeping the engine mostly stock, except for the carbs and clutch upgrades. The first voltage regulator died at around 8K, but I haven’t had any other problems. It’s been a very reliable bike, and one that I have constantly tinkered with. I wouldn’t do anything differently in terms of mods, but I would change the priorities and fix the suspension right away. The M900 didn’t have adjustable front forks until the late 90s, and it never did have a good rear shock. The Monster is twitchy due to the short wheel base, particularly when encountering mid-corner bumps. A steering stabilizer and decent forks settle the front end quite a bit.
