Congrats on the bike!...White is the fastest by the way.

I know I have not been around for a while, but when did they change the exhaust shields on the 696?

They were changed for this year.  I'm guessing because the old ones didn't really do a whole lot.

Enjoy the new bike Schnooble.  Best mod is  [moto]

Different angle of the bike.




Leaking oil already? Damn Italian motorcycles!

Nice looking bike.  Lots of mods to do.  Reflectors, tailchop, fairing, Frame stickers, mirrors, etc.
 Have fun and be safe.

you might consider these http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=35987.0  instead of the Termi for an astronomical price.  It looks like they are working on the 696 version so you have some time.

Nice ride and congrats.

Thank all.  Went for my first real ride yesterday and it was awesome.  Although it took me a bit to figure out neutral.  I'm coming off the ninja 250 which has some sort of noob friendly automatic neutral finder.  So when I was trying it on the monster I thought it was the same deal and was applying way too much pressure when trying to find neutral from 1st.  Just needs a slight little bit of pressure I found out later.

As for the pants, yup, I have them.  I just didn't wear them.  Bad I know.  Sad

And for the modding part, I'm gonna hold off on them for a bit and enjoy the bike and see what bugs me as time goes on.  Then I'll see.  But for sure, the stickers and side reflector are coming off this weekend.  Need to buy some Goo-gone or whatever it's called.

The new underseat exhaust looks not to bad but sounds really cool.  However I'm pretty happy with the stock pipes actually.  And from reading this board, I think I may be one of the only ones.  Smiley

Thanks again.  Off to start up the bike and wake up the neighbours...

Randy.

welcome

BTW red is actually the fastest colour
afterall, that's why Stoner's bike is red!

might want to consider frame sliders, just in case.

Welcome to the Forum. The M696 is terrific. I love my Dark 696!

Be safe!
