900Sie bits, Baglux tank cover, bar ends

Having just bought a Black 2001 regd 900Sie I'm now looking for a few bits to make it "mine". Has anyone got any of the following they'd like to part with please?

Black Baglux tank cover & small bag or just the cover.
OE bar end weights - missing after bar end mirrors fitted & removed
Higher clear touring screen similar to some MRA/PUIG types, not massively bigger than std.
Black caps for clutch & brake reservoirs.

Was going to take the Termis off but the sound grows on you doesn't it

Thanks MIke

I've a baglux cover going spare, no bag though. I'll dig it out if interested. For goodness sake keep the Termis. If they're high level they add quite a bit of midrange, so not just for show.

Sounds good! Both bike & offer. Would very much like to buy the cover. I have a couple of bags from previous bikes which will do the job - assuming they have kept the same "footprint".

The high levels I didnt like the look of at first & they seemed quite noisy when I "auditioned" the bike but now its home they sound different & more mellow. Maybe it was the sound bouncing off the vendors garage walls or something but it sounded louder & far less attractive.

Do you know if it would have been necessary to adjust the mapping for the Termis? Curious as its the first injection Duc. Extra midrange is a "real world" performance gain, +5 bhp at 11k rpm might excite some but 5ft Lb extra torque at 5k is more to my taste.

Hi Mike

Glad to see you're already on the slippery slope of personalising your Monster; you do realise that the process never ends, don't you?!

I may be able to help feed your future addition as I have a set of these three Lightech black billet aluminium reservoir caps for standard Brembo reservoirs.



They are virtually as new with no scratches or corrosion. If they're the sort you're after, drop me a PM.

I've also found these original steel bar ends from my S2R. These came from "fat bars" so I'm not sure they're your size. They're currently bare metal so they'd need painting. If your bars are hollow-ended you'd also need some expanding plugs to screw them too.

Caps look good will PM you later, thanks. The bar ends are probably not going to fit as they are steel bars with a 12.5mm core diameter & I dont have any expanders. I'm thinking I might just turn up a set in black Delrin & tap them in the ends.

Cheers

They are probably alloy bars with that wall thickness.... Standard fitment on the Sie.
Try a magnet on them.

Thanks , they arrived AOK , looking good in black on a black/silver bike. Why would you use red caps? Resisting the temptation to change the Oberon clutch slave....just cos its red.
Cheers, all the best for '17

Glad they arrived safely. I saw the picture of your bike on the other thread.



Looks like you found a nice example there. Those old red caps did stand out like pimples though, didn't they? Black is much more tasteful.

Enjoy the Monster experience!

Hi - Long shot. Any danger you have those S2R bar ends knocking around? I've just lost one!
Thx

You're in luck, Paul. I've tracked them down and if you PM me your address I'll pop them in the post tomorrow, no charge.

Yes it is the first ECU to appear on a monster, but I think they were also fitted to SS models a little before. As such they are very simple with a bare minimum of sensors.
I did know the model number of the ECU but it eludes me now and I can't find it in my Manual either!!

I believe the problem with re-mapping it is that there are not very many parameters to adjust and not many points on the graph?
I believe that a power commander is needed to apply new mapping? But I have never played with mine so I'm guessing really... Why would I with such beautiful power delivery and nearly 70 mpg?

I'm certainly not going to mess about with it at any point if I can avoid it and with that sort of mpg why would anyone if the bike preforms to your expectations. I wonder if people tuning or "improving" 2 valves would be better just buying a 4 valve model?

+1.

Just a datapoint/opinion you might find useful; I bought my 900ie with high-level Sils (no baffles), stock airbox and ECU.

It seemed to run great. Little delicate below 3 grand, clutch feathering needed in traffic. Some fit a different front sprocket to lower the gearing.

Fitted a DP ECU, high-level DP 'zorsts and the DP airbox cover. NOS kit - except it came with a stock ECU in the box, someone had that away... had to source a DP one, lucked out and got one cheap on Flea Bay...

Transformed the bike, night and day difference in low-end/mid-range torque.. It's obviously much happier; just open the throttle and it pulls.

Moto Rapido (and doubtless others) can flash the DP map onto a stock ECU.

There's some free software that probably (site is in French, but I think it supports the correct ECU) lets you tune the map with a 10 quid cable, or use the Power Commander to intercept/piggy-back on top of the stock sensors/ECU.

Plugging in a factory part seemed like a lot less faffing around to me...

Hi, If you still have the Baglux to fit my 900 I'm interested, Cheers Mike. PS cant PM you as your mailbox is full..

TBH Mike it had slipped my mind, sorry. I've still got it and inbox is emptied now!
