New to the Ducati world.  I'm sure I'll have a ton of questions.

I just picked up a 2007 Black Monster s2r 800
15k miles
OD exbox exhaust system
set of Renthal bars
New belts, chains, etc.
I believe he also mentioned a steering dampener?
New tires

Looks to be very well taken care of.  I actually traded it for my boat and couldn't be happier!!!

Never wrestle with pigs. You both get dirty, and the pigs like it...

Check out my oil filter forensics thread!                     Offended? Click here
"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Let's start the lessons  ;)
QD - short for QuatD though they seemed to have moved away from the longer name
And Damper - not dampner
And I think they shipped with Renthal bars... not sure though.

You say he mentioned? - It's not there or? It should be quite obvious. It'll be an item affixed to the frame on one side, and the triples or fork leg on the other. Some are top mounted, and will be right infront of the keyway. Some are side mounted, will be on either side. And the least common will be under mounted which will have it under where the triple attaches to the frame - as you might figure, in an opposed position from the top mount.

We've got a ton of answers! Theres a big tutorials section that covers a ton. Tech does too, though you'll need to search as it's not so well organized/organic. And of course there's Accessories & Mods too. Lots and lots of info.

This you first bike? Or just first Duc?

-Throttle's on the right, so are the brakes.  Good luck.
