Specification Reference:
Provides part numbers, quantities, and sometimes material or finish details for components.
Engine Type:
Air-cooled, L-Twin (Desmodromic 2-valve per cylinder)
Displacement:
799 cc (799cc)
Bore X Stroke:
94 mm x 71.5 mm (typical for this engine configuration)
Compression Ratio:
9.5:1 (typical)
Horsepower:
Approx. 73 HP (54 kW) @ 8,000 rpm (estimated for the 800 series)
Torque:
Approx. 70 Nm (52 lb-ft) @ 6,000 rpm (estimated for the 800 series)
Fuel Delivery:
Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) - Marelli or similar system for the era.
Fuel Type:
Unleaded gasoline, minimum 95 RON recommended.
Oil System:
Wet sump with integrated oil cooler.
Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 12,000 km (7,500 miles) or annually, whichever comes first (refer to specific service manual for exact details).
Desmo Service Interval:
Desmodromic valve clearance checks are crucial and typically recommended every 12,000 km (7,500 miles), though this is a complex procedure detailed in the service manual.
Belt Replacement Interval:
Timing belts require replacement every 24,000 km (15,000 miles) or 2 years, whichever comes first.
Engine Oil Type:
JASO MA, API SG or higher, SAE 10W-40 semi-synthetic or fully synthetic motorcycle oil.
Engine Oil Capacity:
Approx. 3.5 - 4.0 liters (3.7 - 4.2 US qt) with filter change (confirm via service manual).
Clutch Fluid Type:
DOT 4 Brake Fluid.
Brake Fluid Type:
DOT 4 Brake Fluid.
Coolant Type:
Not applicable, engine is air-cooled.
Desmo Service Adherence:
Crucial to follow Desmo service intervals to prevent valve train damage. Missing these can lead to costly repairs.
Regulator Rectifier Failures:
Some Ducati models of this era were prone to regulator/rectifier failures, leading to battery charging issues. This manual would list the specific part.
Fuel Pump Reliability:
Occasional issues with fuel pump longevity or the associated pressure regulator can occur; the parts catalog will detail these components.
Electrical Connector Corrosion:
Corrosion in electrical connectors, especially after exposure to weather, can cause intermittent faults. The wiring diagrams in a comprehensive manual are essential here.
Ducati Legacy:
Ducati has a rich history of performance motorcycles, particularly known for their L-twin engines and trellis frames, dating back to the early 20th century.
Monster Lineage:
The Ducati Monster series, introduced in 1993, revolutionized the naked sportbike segment with its minimalist design and focus on rider experience. The 800 series represented an evolution of this concept, offering accessible performance and characteristic Ducati styling.
800S Variant:
The 's' variant often denoted higher-specification components, such as upgraded suspension or lighter wheels, compared to the standard 800 model. This manual likely covers parts specific to both.
Production Period:
2003-2004 for this specific iteration of the 800cc Monster line.
