Monster M900sie

Hi all

Just wanted to introduce myself, I picked this monster up last week. It’s a standard bike and I’d like to keep it more or less that way.

I’m going to mostly use it during summer and spend winter improving the condition of some areas.

There’s the odd rust spot on the frame, some flaking paint on the engine and cases and a few areas where it can be improved.

I own a couple of other bikes, a custom thruxton 1200r and a 790 bonneville.

So far I’ve ordered a service kit and am just waiting for my mate to find some time to help with belts. Plugs, oil, air filter and fuel filter will all be changed as I like to have a baseline to work with when I buy something used. Also, need to ride more to get the fuel level down before I swap the fuel filter.

I’m keen to get my hands on an exhaust that’s in keeping with the aesthetic but produces some more noise, so I’m on the lookout.

I may swap the mirrors as all I can see is my shoulders. All original parts will be kept and nothing is being chopped.

There is some water marks and misting in the rev counter gauge face; are these simple enough to take apart and clean?

There have already been a number of members that have offered advice and help, which I’m very grateful for.

If anyone is aware of a carbon tail section with 3 mounting holes, a yellow rounded headlight fairing or a yellow or carbon belly pan, let me know.

Anyhow, onto the pictures.

Don't poke the flakey bits or the whole lot will just fall off!!!
Welcome to the world of Monsters
Nice looking bike too, some would argue in the best and fastest colour

Welcome aboard.
Like the Thruxton. They look how a tradition cafe racer should, in my opinion

Yeah agreed. It started its life in silver without the fairing. It’s currently off having a pie cut custom exhaust made to “finish” it off. We’ll see!

Not seeing any photos and not the first time, not sure why. If your after a front cowl then you may be better off getting a carbon one and paint it considering what I've seen people ask for a s/hand one (and not seen a yellow one). Amazon is a good source for aftermarket screens should you need one.

Bike now fitted with Sil Motor high pipes. These sound absolutely fantastic. The bike has come alive!

There’s still a few parts I need to start improving some of the looks.

I need a replacement screen for the fairing as the plastic is cracked, that’s the main eyesore.

Completed a belt service yesterday which was relatively simple, just need to wait for the fuel to run down now so that I can change the fuel filter.
