A while back, I thought I remembered seeing some books for the 2v and the 4v motors. Like the Haynes manuals, but different.

Seperate books for each 2v and 4v...

anyone know what I'm talking about?

better yet, anyone have a link?

TIA!

Yes, LTs books are good. However, they are not a replacement for a repeair manual, but rather a supplement (even LT, the author, points that out). I prefer the factory manual to the Haynes.

In particular, the valve adjustment procedure is explained very well. And he has a nice diagram showing which bolt lengths go in which hole in the alternator cover, which is great!

http://www.duc.nu/manuals/files.php?&file=Workshop_Manual_900SS_2001.pdf&sort=Date&skip=0&show=500 for 900ssie

I got my ST2 manual from a friend of mine, who was VP of sales and marketing for Ducati a couple years ago.

01....close to 02...what are all the differences?

different swing arm, ohlins shock, wheels....

I'd still need a manual for the S4R...I see one for the S4, but not S4R.....

For most things, they are close enough.

I have a SS1000DS, but the 900SSie is close enough for most things. For differences, download the parts catalogs from Ducati:

If you really need the exact manual, you need to order it from Ducati.
