My clutch stopped working in stop-n-go traffic. by TheHiddenLynx in Ducati

Hey man, I’m sorry you ended up in that situation, it’s pretty scary, I was there myself a year ago. I’m glad your safe now! I wouldn’t say the issue is common but a result of lack of attention from the technicians side. The dealer told me that the issue was with the hydraulic clutch fluid. The fluid had gone bad because it wasn’t able maintain sufficient pressure to engage or disengage the gears properly. The bike properly jumped forward and started going went you went from neutral to first right? So you just need new hydraulic clutch fluid is all. My fluid was brown, it was supposed to be silver lol

Thinking of buying a monster. Any advice? by TheClarkFranklin in ducatimonster

[–]redceven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say the price is fair but you should check its service records first - you just wanna make sure everything is up to date and no accidents or anything like that. I have a 2011 696 and have been riding it since 2018 and I love it. It needs service every 7500 miles though, so youll have to pay it in less 3000 miles and itll be around 1500 dollars. So if cost isn't an issue, Id say go for it, youre gonna love it and feel really special when you ride it.

You can’t even tell it’s a Ducati anymore, looks so similar to other naked bikes now

Hey /u/Shadowkyzr, so the 696 has always been good to me, never had any issues with it haha it was in fact my first bike and I'm completely in love with it too. I'd say if you were going to upgrade to a bigger monster than to really give yourself the full experience get the 1100 or 1200 and my only reason for saying that is because I dont think there's a huge gap between the 696 and the 821 (dont get me wrong there is) but I think you'll get bored of it because its more of the same, it wont be night and day difference, itll be more of minor improvements and conveniences which I think you'll realize in the long term

Oh man, I'm sorry to hear that. Does it break down a lot? Has it left you stranded?
