999 Mono Or Bip

Mine is a factory delivered mono but the V5 has biposto.

 

I did this. Contacted Ducati Leeds, gave them frame and engine number. They put them into their DCS system and confirmed model, build date, warranty start date etc.
They were kind enough to send me a screenshot which I have printed out to keep with my documents.

This should get you a response.

 

Well what does the bike look like? Show us some pics.

A small detail differentiating the biposto and monoposto are the Dzus fasteners on the side fairings. Originally a monoposto has D ring ones and biposto has Allen head ones.

The rear spring rates are different as well but I don't know what they are exactly.

 

It has the 3 position adjuster for the tank/seat. The biposto does not have that.

 

If it’s same as 749 mono it will have adjustable head angle too

 

So it’s a mono base model where someone has added a S tail unit which has the number board?

 

The mono tail is the same for base and S, no differences.

 

My 749 Biposto did have that... It was a 749S from 2003 and also had the adjustable headstock

 

The biposto did not have the three position adjuster. The rear catch is in a fixed position. If you slid the whole tank/seat unit back the rear catch would not latch to the seat.

 

Not disputing how they should be, but mine definitely had the adjustment

 

I think what has happened is that the dealer has been lazy and not checked to make sure the base model you have was a bip or a mono. Base models where mostly BIP, and so the mono base models were rare. I had a base model 749 mono
