Anyone out there had any experience in putting a ducati ST2 motor into a 1993 M900 Monster
Would appreciate some feedback on this.

I thought 93 M900 was a totally different generation to the ST2?

[Kereama]

The monster is both air and watercooled. The later models are, and they are carb and injection. The problem being I have the original monster. I just dont know what frame differences are.

I think it is criminal the way Ducati has shamelessly copied the Zeal!

[Kereama]

Improved it didn't they. No progress if things dont change else we'd all still be riding donkeys.

[Sensei]

ST2 is a 2 Valve motor & ST4 is the 4 Valve 916 type .Don't see why you shouldn't be able to do somthing about getting it in there without to much trouble Sensei :yeah:

[750Y]

you will probably need to be putting in the st2 harness also(cdi etc).
there's an excellent ducati mechanic at haldanes who may be able to answer your questions.

Had so feed back from Aussie. The motor mounts are all the same. If I stick to the flatsides I already use and forget about the Fuel ignition. I can use ignition system I already have. So I just have to mount the radiator up front manifold should all fit and It's a goer. Fingers xed. Just got to wait for the motor to arrive from Japan.

.I'm not sure if this can be done. (thanks for the compliment Blakamin!! :)

My Monsters are both two-valve engines.

Keep us posted Kereama. If this bloody shit weather ever disappears, I could ride up and show you my bikes one weekend. (I'd let Hamish ride the other one)

Dude whatever ya do do --post progress reports so we can see how ya go with it. :first:

[Kereama]

Sweet as visit anytime u like you got 5 kms of windy metal Rd and logging trucks. I'm the first on the left after the metal starts up the Waiotahe Valley Rd If you turn right down Toones Rd which is the second road on the right past Kutarere (Whakatane or Taneatua - Opotiki highway ). Turn right when u come off the bridge, Thats Waiotahe Valley Rd. After the recent flooding it took them 5 days dig a new track around where the river had taken the road out. The reason I am thinking about doing this is the flatmate took my bike out to give it a run while I was down the Auckland Islands Scampi Trawling. The lock nut that holds the Cam pulley must have worked loose and the keyway eventually flogged out and when it let go it smashed the valves and spat them out the exhaust, because I couldn't find any sign of them, puched a X hole in the piston. A few scratches in the bore but nothing bad. The motor still runs on one cylinder. Ive had the head repaired and I have second hand piston, valves and cam that I can put in and its a goer. But I can score this ST2 motor for a good price and it has done less than 1400 kms. So for less than $3500 I can have a vitually new motor and a spare. Ive emailed Ducati dealers all over the world in search of someone who had done it but haven't found any one that has yet. I believe it can be done. But you know how it is with things like this, there is always some little thing that doesn't want to fit. Ph number here is 073154667.
good riding
