General Recommendation:
Routine maintenance at regular intervals is crucial. Specific intervals (e.g., oil changes, valve checks) would typically be found in a separate owner's or service manual, but this parts manual identifies the necessary components for these tasks.
Engine Oil:
Requires specific Ducati-recommended motorcycle oil (viscosity and API rating to be confirmed in owner's manual, but typically SAE 10W-50 or 20W-50 for this era Ducati V-twins). Manual lists oil filter part numbers.
Brake Fluid:
DOT 4 or DOT 5.1 brake fluid (standard for most Ducati models).
Coolant:
If the specific MH900e model has a radiator (unlikely, it's air-cooled, but oil cooler is present), then a 50/50 mix of ethylene glycol coolant and distilled water would be typical. The manual lists oil cooler parts.
Common Faults General Ducati L-Twin:
Potential issues include desmodromic valve adjustments, clutch wear, and electrical component reliability. This parts manual is essential for sourcing replacement parts for these components.
Part Number Utility:
Crucial for ordering genuine Ducati parts or compatible aftermarket replacements to maintain the originality and performance of the MH900e.
Manufacturer Origin:
Italy
Mh900E Concept:
A modern interpretation of the classic Ducati 900SS racing motorcycles of the 1970s, designed by Pierre Terblanche. Originally a concept bike that gained overwhelming customer support.
Production Period:
2001-2002 (note: the manual is for a 2008 model year which implies it could be for a bike imported or registered later, or a specific market variation, but the core MH900e production concluded earlier. This manual likely covers parts applicable to any MH900e.
Production Volume:
Limited production run (around 2000 units).
