I recently had a go on a 1000DS Monster.It seemed to be a lot more lively than the Multistrada,despite having the same motor.I spoke to Nelly about it at the Congleton Mega Meet and the only thing we could put it down to was breathing.
Ive since found out about the restrictive air intakes in the airbox.Phil at Italia said,"Oh yeah,you wanna take those out.You get a bit more mid range grunt and that lovely airbox induction noise."
So out they come then.
I'm about two thirds the way to finishing the job,its a right cow to get the seat/tank unit off.Ive got the restrictors out,just got to button it all back up and go for the all important test ride.
Stay tuned!
