Ducati Monster 900 manual

Well there's plenty of technical information at the ttech cafe, but I can't
find any manuals. Haynes (http://www.haynes.com/) has discontinued its download
service, so the closest you can get is to order your manual from their website.

Personally I'd rather put greasy fingerprints onto paper pages than a keyboard.
I have their '93 - '96 twin valve manual which covers my '99 Monster 900 very
well. I've done all my own work since the warrany ran out, although I must
admit I'm contemplating letting a specialist set the desmo clearance for me.
Cambelt changes are a doddle!

Ah well, I just came back to apologise, I originally looked in the Tech Cafe
area as suggested. Elsewhere, there are manuals from 2000 on, online.
However, Dany was asking for workshop manuals. The online ones are
owners' manuals, so they'll tell you how to change a plug or adjust the chain.
They don't show you how to rebuild a gearbox or replace a piston so they're
not workshop manuals. I was also interested to see that they're still making
a Monster 400 for the Japanese market! That must be a joy to ride:-)

Owners Manuals and spare parts lists.
I would like some workshop manuals too.

If the 400 Monster comes close to the Cagiva 350 ... forget it.

I found that link when browsing the website but unfortunately they don't
provide for the 1999 model, the very one I was after

I don't know what you are looking fore, but actually the Monster is
equiped with a 'Pantah-engine', and haven't changed much over years.
