About the Ducati Monster 821

Overview

The Ducati Monster 821 is a motorcycle from Ducati. It was launched in 2018 and has since been discontinued. Mechiee still services it at your doorstep. With a 821 cc engine it sits in the big-bike, 800 cc-plus class.

Engine and performance

Power comes from a 821 cc air-cooled fuel-injected engine that makes 109 HP at 9,250 rpm and 86 Nm of torque at 7,750 rpm. Its bore is wider than its stroke (88.0 x 67.5 mm), a short-stroke layout that generally favours higher revs. Divide power by kerb weight and it has about 567 PS per tonne; by that measure, its performance is at superbike level and rewards an experienced rider. It has electric start.

Gearbox

It has a 6-speed manual gearbox, and a chain carries drive to the rear wheel. Its slipper clutch lightens the lever and stops the rear wheel hopping when you downshift hard.

Chassis, brakes and tyres

It is built around a tubular steel trellis frame attached to the cylinder head frame. At the front, the suspension is 43mm upside-down forks. At the rear, it is progressive linkage, adjustable monoshock, aluminium double-sided swingarm. Braking is by twin 320 mm discs at the front and a 245 mm disc at the rear. It rides on 17-inch wheels — 120/70-ZR17 at the front and 180/55-ZR17 at the rear.

Size, comfort and range

The seat is 785 mm off the ground, which is about average and suits most riders. It weighs 195 kg ready to ride, which is on the heavy side, so moving it by hand takes some effort. It is 2,170 mm long, with 1,480 mm between the axles. It carries 17.5 L of fuel.

Who it suits

Its low seat also makes it approachable for shorter and newer riders. With this much performance, it is better as a step-up bike than a first bike.

Care notes for this model

Its chain drive needs regular cleaning, lubrication and slack adjustment.

Maintaining the Ducati Monster 821

  • Routine servicing

    Follow the schedule in the owner's manual for your exact variant and year. A regular service is the cheapest way to catch small problems before they become expensive ones.

  • Engine oil & filter

    Engine oil is the single most important consumable to keep fresh. Top up between services if the level drops, and change it on schedule.

  • Brake inspection

    With Double disc, 320 mm, Brembo M4-32 4-piston Monobloc, ABS and Single disc, 245 mm, 2-piston floating, ABS brakes, check pad or shoe wear, lever and pedal free play, and braking feel at every service.

  • Chain cleaning & lubrication

    A clean, correctly tensioned and lubricated chain lasts longer and wastes less power. Check slack regularly, especially after riding in rain or dust.

  • Coolant & cooling system

    A liquid-cooled engine relies on coolant. Check the level and look over hoses and the radiator for leaks or damage, and replace coolant as the owner's manual directs.

  • Air filter & spark plug

    A clogged air filter or worn spark plug shows up as hard starting, weak throttle response and poorer fuel economy. Both are checked at a regular service and replaced when worn.

  • Disc brake fluid

    Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point. Have its level and condition checked and change it on the interval in the owner's manual.

  • Tyre inspection

    This bike runs 120/70-ZR17 / 180/55-ZR17 tyres. Check pressure, tread depth and sidewalls, and replace tyres that are worn or cracked.

  • Battery & electricals

    Weak starting, dim lights or a flickering console are early signs the battery or charging system needs a look.

Ducati Monster 821 specs explained

What the technical terms on this page mean.

ABS
Anti-lock braking system. It stops a wheel locking up during hard braking so the rider can keep steering. A single-channel system works on one wheel, usually the front; a dual-channel system works on both.
Liquid cooling
Coolant circulates through the engine and a radiator, keeping temperatures steadier than air alone, especially in traffic or under load.
Air cooling
The engine is cooled by air flowing over its fins. It is simpler and needs no coolant, which keeps upkeep straightforward.
Assist and slipper clutch
The assist part makes the clutch lever lighter. The slipper part eases the rear wheel's tendency to hop when you shift down hard.
Ride-by-wire
The throttle grip sends an electronic signal instead of pulling a cable, which allows features such as ride modes and cruise control.
Monoshock
A single rear shock absorber that does the work of a pair.
Upside-down fork
A front fork mounted the opposite way round to a conventional one, with the thicker tubes at the top. It is typically stiffer under braking and cornering.
Trellis frame
A frame built from tubes arranged in triangles, which gives strength without much weight.
Kerb weight
The weight of the bike ready to ride, with its fluids and fuel, but without a rider or luggage.
Bore x stroke
The cylinder's width and the piston's travel. A larger bore relative to stroke tends to favour revs; a longer stroke tends to favour low-speed pull.
