DescriptionThe whole story▼
Between Ducati MONSTER 1200 R and the tarmac there is one component worth less than the parts behind it. That is what the WAPDU403 is for: 200 g of nylon and Ergal standing between the axle of a MONSTER 1200 R and the ground. It is offered in 2 colours: Black, Red. The kit covers the MONSTER 1200 R across 8 model years from 2014 to 2021.
Key Features
- Protects the fork bottoms and swingarm ends of the MONSTER 1200 R in a low-speed fall
- One WAPDU403 design serves both the front and the rear axle of the MONSTER 1200 R
- Fitting the WAPDU403 to a MONSTER 1200 R is measured in minutes, not hours
- The insert changes without pulling the axle out of the MONSTER 1200 R
- Designed around the MONSTER 1200 R specifically rather than adapted from another model
- Built as a wear part: on the MONSTER 1200 R you renew the sliding surface, not the mount
Why an Axle Slider Works
The geometry is the whole argument: the WAPDU403 ends further outboard than the fork bottom. On the WAPDU403 the Ergal core takes the load path while the nylon takes the abrasion. After contact the nylon shows it and the Ergal underneath usually does not.
How It Is Built
Nylon forms the outside of the WAPDU403; the material is elastic enough to take repeated knocks. Behind the nylon is an Ergal insert that carries the load into the axle. The design assumes the WAPDU403 will be used, and makes the used part the cheap one.
Fitment
Fitment is the Ducati MONSTER 1200 R, 2014 to 2021. Nothing on the MONSTER 1200 R has to be cut; the kit bolts to what is there.
Scope of Delivery
The WAPDU403 ships as a complete axle set for the MONSTER 1200 R: shells, inserts and the bolts that hold them. If the MONSTER 1200 R needs a second kit later, the WAPDU403 number is the only thing to quote.
In the Workshop
Allow an unhurried half hour for the WAPDU403 on a MONSTER 1200 R the first time. Re-check the fastener torque after the first ride, as with any part that hangs off the MONSTER 1200 R frame. The WAPDU403 comes in 2 finishes — Black, Red — and the colour makes no difference to the fit on the MONSTER 1200 R.
Type Approval
The WAPDU403 is delivered without any type-approval document. In Germany a protector that stands proud of the MONSTER 1200 R silhouette can be raised at the vehicle inspection. If the MONSTER 1200 R is used on track only, none of this applies.
