Which MTS   Posted: Tue May 19, 2015 3:21 pm

Hi Aksinah88,

I have both a MTS 620 (for the last five years) and early last year bought a MTS1100. Very similar bikes in size, feel, and weight. The 620 is 25 lb or so lighter. Big difference ...

Which 1000ds   Posted: Wed Feb 05, 2014 11:45 pm   
Hi Mentodan,

The fixed and movable cam belt tensioner bearings don't have to be replaced at every belt change. Check both bearings to make sure they roll smoothly and freely, without any binding, ...

All things being equal I would rather have the one with lower milage, but....

Don't let the "what ifs" scare you away! If the bike looks good and checks out well, and you don't find any major concerns (other the normal wear and tear items such as tires, chain, brake ...

Like Booney said, accessories can be bought/swapped, etc.......Spend your time finding a clean, well cared for bike that doesn't show signs of abuse or crashing and one with a clean title ...

If you want to see what is behind you, and, not worry about the stock mirror stem breaking just because they do, go with the FAR mirrors from MotoScience. These work soooo much better than stock. Th ...

Hi John,

The part numbers you list match up correctly for both the Monster, for the MTS 620, and for the MTS 1000/1100.

I looked at the pictures you posted of the stand on your 620 and at the pi ...

Hi Pekka,

Go back to page 3 in this thread and check the excellent pictures that OceanMT and Gregski attached of the centerstand weldment, and especially those that OceanMT attached showing the cen ...

Hi Pekka,

Go up several posts to the one by OceanMT on 4-13-13. He has pictures of the centerstand installed on his MTS1x00. The last picture is taken with the stand down from the right side and ...

Hi Pekka,

I have had a MTS620 for about a year and a half now and have put almost 9000 trouble free miles (except for a low beam bulb that just burnt out) on it in that time. It is now at almost 21,000 total m ...

Its the entire head of the mirror itself, where it mounts to the stem, that is a bit loose on my left mirror. The little setscrew you mentioned just helps hold the mirror glass itself at the point w ...
