[Raux]

I would highly recomend having a dealer install your new exhaust. I have mine done couple weeks ago and ever sense then the bike is having all kinds of problems. (1) Bike is running quite rough. (2) Bike  backfire, poff between 3,500 and 5,000 RPM. (3) Ingine light keep turning on. I dont know if I'm the only one that have this problem but, have I done it myself I would have to pay the dealer to fix the problem. I am now on my second trip to the dealer for this problem.

better check your ECU yourself and make sure the dealer really replaced it. sounds like maybe it's running lean.. ie your running the stock computer with the new airfilter?

So there's nothing else that has to be done after the install? IE: dyno tuning, configuring and TPS reseting anything like that?  Just plug and play?  Where is the air filter?

the new siemens ECU resets the TPS by turning the key 3 times i think without turning the starter over.
the air filter is on top of the air box. there are three bolts holding it on. oh, if i remember right they are star head screws, but maybe just hex. just have a star screwdriver set nearby.
you remove the screws and pull the top off with the filter. take the filter off the mount. replace and screw everything back in.
after you've connected everything back ...before you put the skins back on. turn the key. the dash should read 'monster 696 racing'
plenty of people have done it here.

OK, can I ask where the air box is?

[Raux]

ok, maybe we do need to talk about the dealer...

seriously though. can i make a suggestion you do a little research on the forum. read EVERYTHING you can on the 696 from here. most of the thread i've commented on so you can just do a search for 696 or my name.

also it will help if you download the parts manual from ducati
it will give you a better understand of the bike and it's various systems

how long have you been riding? how long have you had this bike?

[Raux]

ok i read all your previous posts.
i suggest you find someone local that's done this mod and have them walk through it with you.
you will learn a ton about your bike and save some money.

you're in SoCal right... i know there are a lot of people on here from that area.

I will check as soon as I get the bike back. The bike is just having all sort of problem. The speedometer is not working properly, It would just say zero for a while then it would put random numbers. The Tech I talk too told me this is the first time he incounter on the  monster. I will post more deatails after talk to the dealer.

I really appreciate the advice! It's going to the dealer tomorrow, followed closely by my Sport 1000 for the same treatment.  Thanks much again, I'm sure you'll see me again!!
