Post up here sometime and propose a Beryessa ride [moto] +1 Lake Beryessa is a blast! - Not a bad place to get to know your bike.

Just talked to a guy who got busted up there, it's heavily patroled area and now they are using a helicopter to spot people speeding/passing and giving you a ticket down the road. If you ride up there watch for the eye in the sky and don't speed.

And from what I gather, if anyone knows the man, it's probably TCK. They're seen a lot together these days.

Title: Re: Hi Everyone, newby here Post by: 707soldier on June 11, 2008, 12:33:53 PM Hehe... Yea, it is my bike, famous, no way.! :-[ Thanks for your comments..! yea I can’t wait to see what every one is doing with their 696. Do you have any ideas as to how will you be modifying your bike ? My plans for now are, Termis, CF cosmetic stuff & some cool clutch cover. Thanks for the warm welcome. Title: Re: Hi Everyone, newby here Post by: Juan on June 11, 2008, 01:04:38 PM I was looking at a dark 696, and there are some things I would do right away.
#1 Remove the hot dog tray and reflectors + stickers from the frame. Good thin you don't need a tail chop. [cheeky] #2 Paint or powder coat the rear sets ( entire assembly) #3 New mirrors (CRG) would be my choice #4 Clutch and brake levers, again CRG. #5 Triple clamp modification or new one with the respective clip-ons under the triple. #6 I don't know if yours comes with the seat cowl, if it does not, I would get one. #7 Exhaust pipes.!! I don't like the pipes that flair out some how, I prefer straight, however I know that you are limited to what ever they make for it. I believe the 696, is a really sweet looking bike, but those are the first things I would work on Have fun and ride safe.. p.s. post pictures soon.. [thumbsup] Let us know if you need help...!! Title: Re: Hi Everyone, newby here Post by: TCK! on June 11, 2008, 01:07:18 PM are the 696s dry clutch?
Title: Re: Hi Everyone, newby here Post by: desmoquattro on June 11, 2008, 01:53:26 PM Title: Re: Hi Everyone, newby here Post by: TCK! on June 11, 2008, 01:58:27 PM Nope. Wet slipper clutch. Hmmm that's going to be messy :DSorry man no clutch cover for you.

Title: Re: Hi Everyone, newby here Post by: 707soldier on June 11, 2008, 02:12:38 PM Hmmm that's going to be messy :D Sorry man no clutch cover for you. Those covers are awesome looking, too bad it's a no go for me. :( Title: Re: Hi Everyone, newby here Post by: desmoquattro on June 11, 2008, 03:57:58 PM Those covers are awesome looking, too bad it's a no go for me. :( We could probably JB weld an open clutch cover on top of the stock one :) Maybe some bailing wire for effect? Title: Re: Hi Everyone, newby here Post by: 707soldier on June 11, 2008, 07:57:09 PM As promise, some pics :)

Title: Re: Hi Everyone, newby here Post by: 707soldier on June 12, 2008, 06:24:23 AM Very nice bike! Welcome to the forum. I'm also in Fairfield (Cordelia, specifically). Thanks,You're very close, come to my BBQ Party on Sat. 6/21. regards, Lito Title: Re: Hi Everyone, newby here Post by: eviltwin on June 12, 2008, 08:07:21 AM Very nice!! I vell in love with the 696 see second I saw the first pictures of it on the net. I'm sure you'll have a blast with it and if you ever need someone to ride it while you're out of town, I'll volunteer. ;D
One other mod to consider is removing the charcoal canister from the left side in front of the motor. It sticks out like a soar thumb. Title: Re: Hi Everyone, newby here Post by: Desmostro on June 19, 2008, 10:04:11 AM That bike's got some nice angles. Sweet.
You will loooove the slipper clutch. It is very MMmmmmm in the curves. [popcorn] Title: Re: Hi Everyone, newby here Post by: MendoDave on June 20, 2008, 04:15:18 PM I sat on a couple and they were pretty nice bikes. I know that they at least share the same brakes with the 848.
