Hi all. My mate asked me to post this somewhere so here goes.He has a ducati 6oo monster about 1500 miles after he bought it the main crank bearing .primary drive side.started squeaking and eventually failed.after no joy with the dealer!!!!he repaired it himself to ducati clearances etc.1500 miles the bearing picked up again.another repair 1500 miles and its in the back of his garage under a dust sheet.He was thinking about a replacement engine but I offered to ask if anyone might know the cause of his probs.thanks in aticipation. Glenn.:frog:

Post this on the General Messages board as well mate. The 600 engine is shared by other bikes and you may get more feed back from that board.

Try also the ukmoc site - we have several 'boffins' for engine probs for monsters.

The main bearings have to be 'pre-loaded' and requires very carefull setting up upon re-assembly.
