Monster V11 brake lever matchup

Hi there,

 

I was hoping someone on the forum could confirm for me that an after market front brake lever designed to fit a 2001 monster will fit a 2001 V11? From searching the forum I was able to see that monster levers worked on V11's, just wanted to make sure that V11's used the same controls year by year, that you didn't have to order a 98 monster lever to work on an 01 v11 for example.

 

Thanks!

Why don't you ask one of us for a lever?

When I needed a replacement clutch lever for my 2000 V11 sport, I bought a Ducati set off of Ebay. The seller reported that these levers fit the following Ducati's with 12mm pivot bolts.

 

Monster 400 99-07 (04-07*)

Monster 600 94-01

Monster 620 02-06 (03-06*)

Multistrada 620 03-06*

Monster 695 07-08*

Monster 750 94-02

Monster S2R 800 05-07

Monster 900 94-99

900SS 91-97

748/916 98 only

ST2 98-03

ST4/ST4S 99-03

 

From the photo's they looked correct and for $46 bucks for a set of new levers I could afford to be wrong. So I took a chance. When I got them I compared them to the levers that were in my V11 and they were exact.

 

Here's the link the auction I won.

I just received and installed a set of short Pazzo levers from MotoMummy.com (on sale for $149 and free shipping).  MotoMummy would not advise me or show me pictures of the levers due to "liability reasons." But I decided to give it a go anyway and pretended that I had a 1998 Ducati 748 (always liked those...). 

 

The Pazzo part numbers are DB-12 (Brake) and DC-12 (clutch). The order came with a list that specified 10 different Ducatis that they fit.  I edited the list from the above post to match the information I received.

  1. Monster M400:  1999-2003
  2. Monster M600:  1994-2001
  3. Monster M 620:  2002
  4. Monster M750/M750IE:  1994-2002 
  5. Monster M900:  1994-99 
  6. 900SS:  1991-97 
  7. 748:  up to 1998
  8. 916/916SPS:  up to 1998
  9. ST2:  1998-03 
  10. ST4/S/ABS:  1999-02

Several other Ducatis use the same clutch lever, but a different brake lever. I only listed the bikes that show both levers the same as what I installed.

Here are the short Pazzos next to the stock levers. The contact points are exactly the same. They work fine and they make correct contact with the clutch and brake switches. I adjusted the actuator-screws so they stuck out the same distance as the stock levers.

And here's a pic of one lever installed.  Not even a remote possibility of interference with the bar-end mirrors.

Happy hunting for cheap used replacements or shiny aftermarket levers.

I went to a Pazzo distributor on the V11 and he identified a Ducati system and I rode away with them on the bike.

 

I went for a red/black combination, the red matching the footrest hangers and now my clock mount too.

 

The Pazzo rest easier in the hand giving a crisper, cleaner feel adding to finesse in control, particularly the clutch.
