NEW engine and bits for Monster 620 - Ducati NYC Vlog v1596

[@xenos14520]

My man 620 is going to be a new person this spring. Good luck with the swap ❤️

[@ducatinyc]

Thats the idea - i don't know about spring tho :)

[@climbmotoadv1550]

fun to see! you have accumulated some skills over the years and then you can do stuff like this. Really good!

[@ducatinyc]

We shall see. My skills are still extremely limited.

[@erwina4743]

Awesome new parts…your Monster will go past 100K for more trips & camping ⛺️…enjoy the build and positive energy brother

[@ducatinyc]

Thank you for the love - we shall see what happens - one step at a time.

[@luddite6239]

That engine (and the other parts) look like a great find. I'd certainly change the belts before you swap the motors, if only for peace of mind, and consider checking the valve clearances as it's a much easier job when the engine's out of the frame. The shock looks nice but, if it's from a Tuono Factory, I think it may be too long. Measure it between the mounting hole centres - your 620 would be 305mm. The main problem may be the fixed remote reservoir - I'm not sure there is enough clearance to fit the horizontal type. The Öhlins version for the 620 had a vertical fixed remote reservoir. It's great that you're refreshing the bike and plan to keep it - it deserves a happy retirement!

[@ducatinyc]

Agreed. The whole job seems so overwhelming right now that idea of extra belt/valve change is extra overwhelming but ur right. Same about the Shock - yea, i bet it will be way too long but - who knows. Fun to dream for now. It will be a super fun and educational and almost therapeutic experience.

[@sv650nyc7]

Wow, that's quite a major rebuild! Regarding the Öhlins shock, just replace the spring with a softer one and it will be perfect. A new spring is only around $100 and you can sell the other spring for $50 or more. Also get heavier fork springs ($120) and your bike will be well balanced for your body weight. I have a spring compressor, hit me up if you want to borrow it. It's trivial to replace the spring. Let me know if you have any questions. Some details (all numbers in lbs/in):: - stock shock spring rate: 433 - recommended shock spring rate for 180 lbs rider w/o gear (accd. to Racetech): 504 - Öhlins 01091-31/95 spring rate: 642 (or 95 Nm/mm) So you need a softer spring. The Öhlins -26 has 485, the -29 has 514. So an Öhlins spring 01091-26/85 or 01091-29/90 will be perfect, depending on your actual weight and preference for comfort over performance. Other specs of the Öhlins shock spring: 160mm length, 57mm inner diameter - stock fork spring rate: 34 & 45 (progressive spring) - recommended for 180 lbs rider w/o gear: 48 DM me on Insta for all the links I've used.

[@ducatinyc]

Woah! Alot of good info here, thank you! When the time comes I'll have alot of questions I'm sure!

[@fuelhemi426]

Seeing your videos in part inspired me and bought a Ducati Monster 620, 2005. Is a fixer upper, it runs great for its age, can’t complain; now I have my own il mostro!!!

[@ducatinyc]

Heck yes - so happy for you - glad you got one and loving it. Nice lil ride right?

[@fuelhemi426]

@@ducatinyc it's a sweet sweet ride! Haven't never ever before ride a motorcycle, it turned out to be easy and pretty forgiving.

[@goldentonesyt]

Exciting! can't wait to see what a beaut she looks like in the spring!

[@ducatinyc]

Oh this will take alot longer than that - it will probably look same in the spring :)

[@federicocao574]

Yo my man, u should put some Vaseline or some silicone spray to protect an give that harness some flex u know, ones it's on the bike u can't do that, Before putting in re-hydate does rubber and plastic conectors. Good luck, PD.: U can use electric geese to protect the connectors joins form water and sulfate, Best luck and regards from Uruguay

[@ducatinyc]

That is a really good idea and trick - thank you for bringing that up. I"ll def do that! Ride safe brother!

You should stick a electric mid-drive motor in the dirt jumper I've got the same motor you friend put in his super73 it's all about the fun 😉

thats one hella of a thing to do. recycling 100% i mean, if u love that bike, why change? u knwo what that thing does! POGU!

Happy to share! Thank you!

[@courtneyricks500]

Oh a bit green with envy. I've been thinking about an Ohlins rear shock swap. Looking forward to seeing how it goes for you.

[@ducatinyc]

We shall see. It looks cute just wonder if it will fit at all :)

[@ftby59mikeD]

'Hole doll'....damn, I also could use a new front hoop, cheapest I've found is $199 on Fleabay.

[@ducatinyc]

I got lucky for 90

[@keltecdan]

You’re like me with my sfv650. I’ve got some parts ready to be fitted to my bike but haven’t had time to take her in. I’m also looking to get a newer bike maybe I’ll come to the dark side and buy a Ducati monster 821.

[@ducatinyc]

Oh snap, I think you should :) And yea, once I get my new bike I'll rebuild my tired ol' 620

[@keltecdan]

@@ducatinyc I like that you are keeping your first bike.

[@mathew936]

That rear Ohlins will look good on the 620. IMO as long as you set it up properly shouldn’t be an issue. Excited for El Monstro 🥂

[@ducatinyc]

Yea I think it would be super dope I just think it might be a bit too long.

[@puravida1340]

I think, you can squeeze this bike some more thousands miles before renewing it. It has a good engine. Anyway, If somebody knows this bike, that is you. Luck friend! "hole doll"

[@ducatinyc]

Yea, its just leaking oil everywhere. Its tired.

[@CityNDN]

you got a dope view man.

[@ducatinyc]

Thank you for noticing! Its pretty epic indeed!

[@rand0mguy43]

You can buy these rubber things for your speedometer much cheaper on ebay. Not original ducati but working also as well. Just search for "Gummipuffer" i dont find it in English 🙄 I think you should buy medium hard or hard Love your vlogs learnd a lot

[@ducatinyc]

Yea I knew there were knockoffs and I could even make my own but I do like the genuine ducati part once in awhile. Thank you for the love and advice!

[@rand0mguy43]

@@ducatinyc Thats arent knockoffs thats industrial parts which not specific for ducati. But i undestand what you mean. Ride safe

[@ZediMaster]

Interesting vid, duc. The purpose of an odometer is to "clock" the engine life. However, u r making a lot of major swaps, so y clock the new dial 2 the old engine as opposed 2 the new engine? It's like clocking a new bike to add the mileage of your first bike? Does any of this makes any sense 2 u? What exactly will your new odometer b representing, ego vs misrepresentation? Anyway, wishing u a fun swap, god bless u.

[@ducatinyc]

Ego, it will be displaying ego. I'm keeping this bike forever as my first so I'll be able to clarify the engine milage vs bike milage vs whatever else when I'm showing it to my mates over a beer.

[@ZediMaster]

@@ducatinyc Lol, I can c y god luvs u.

[@paullazarro4295]

Awesome ''new'' engine! At 6K is it due for a Desmo service? Bike's gunna feel new after the build. So what are you going to ride in the interim? 🏍

[@ducatinyc]

Yep, desmo service every 6k. Not sure yet, thats the piece of the puzzle i havent solved yet. Probably get a new monster.

[@JeremyCRunge]

Nice bro.

[@ducatinyc]

Thank you good sir!

[@genegraves6963]

Curious to see what motorcycle you will get

[@ducatinyc]

Good question, it will def be another Monster.

[@climbmotoadv1550]

and in the end you said you will need another bike to ride when you rebuild the old one, Now IM really curious what that might be. Im going to try a Yamaha XSR 900 or 700 this summer I think

[@giuseppetoro9915]

so the original engine of your ducati monster no longer works? why did you put a new engine?

[@ducatinyc]

It works, just leaks oil and looks terrible. I rode it this morning. This will be for rebuilding the bike later - i got a great deal on the price.

[@oldninjarider]

Will you do a full desmo service on the engine before you put it in?

[@ducatinyc]

Supposedly it was done very recently but I guess I should.

[@oldninjarider]

@@ducatinyc well if the valve clearances are in spec you wouldn't need to. Maybe an hour with a tech to confirm it would be worth it?

[@koutsion]

Since the motor and the odometer have both 10000 miles, why would you try to set the new odometer to 60000? I mean isn't the odometer supposed to show the miles that your motor has done? Good luck with your project! It will need a lot of patience but it will worth it! Take care :)

[@ducatinyc]

That would make sense in one way but I want to capture the total mileage done by "the bike" not just the motor. Perhaps thats silly. I'll always remember that i swapped it around 60k and i'm keeping the bike forever so ti doesnt matter. It will be one hell of a tricky project for sure.

[@koutsion]

@@ducatinyc Ahh I see... Whatever you do I hope we see you back on the street with your new parts and motor :). Good luck!
