M900 Dynojet and Factory Pro Install

For these early, carbed versions of the Ducati Monsters, it is known that if you run an aftermarket exhaust and/or chop your airbox or convert to pod filters, you need to re-jet the carbs. Whoever added the Staintune cans and chopped the airbox on this one, didn't know that. So, I've set out to update the jets to a Dynojet Stage 2 kit, coupled with new needle jets from Factory Pro, purchased through Ca-Cycleworks. Shameless plug for Ca-Cycleworks here: they're really, really great. Here's a link to their site for everything Ducati: www.ca-cycleworks.com

Anywho, the idea of this install is to improve throttle response and performance across the whole rev range. On these Mikuni carbs it's known that the needle jets become "ova led" after about 5,000 miles so that's the reason for the Factory Pro kits. I will also be checking the float height, as it's also well known that the setting from the factory is skewed from what is recommended. 

Last night I just completed the "tear down" process, getting the carbs out of the frame. Tonight I'll be doing the install and will be sure to post some pictures.
