696 rebuild - on the road & stage 2

[ReapeR696]

I'm really interested in your ideas with the engine internals. If they are a bolt up and go, that would be a huge thing for any 696 owners looking to squeeze a few extra pony's out of their bikes. Flywheel is interesting as well. I've done a little searching on that topic but have really ended up with seeing alot of split decisions on wether or not a lightened flywheel is worth it, especially on a smaller cc bike. I'd be very interested to hear your take on it. How'd your idea end up in regards to the airbox? Still running a stock unit or did you end up modifying it? figured you are probably running something different since your using the Termi ECU now, what pipes are you running, Termi's as well? Bike looks amazing, the red frame like many others have commented is on e of my favorite changes along with the whole front end. Great work!

Someone REALLY needs to make a tubular trellis sub-frame for the newer monster.

I'm starting to get use to the looks of the newer monsters, but never that cast sub-frame.

for now the airbox got opened up by modifying the filter holder like the DP 1100 kit

i have a set of Roads Italia exhausts that were CF. the cans got crushed in the wreck so i replaced the sleeves with AL.
THe whole concept for the engine is lighter so it gets to the 6k power faster. as far as the cams, yeah that should help it breath better but i need to wait for the PC V. i want to get it now, but need to wait a few months, still haven't found a renter for my house.


appreciate all the comments. you'd be surprised how much your guys' validation helps. the shop i work with speciality is older superbikes so a little monster isn't very impressive to them.

...cna someone with an 1100 measure from the front of the frame at a point to the ground and from the tail of the frame to the ground and maybe give me a diagram of your exact measuring points.

OK so this is far from a precise science but here's what I got: 

From the top-front of the steering head (so at its highest point) measured vertically to the ground = 890mm +/- 5mm

From the foremost of the stock exhaust hanger mounting bolt holes in the rear subframe vertically to the ground = 775mm +/- 5mm

Measurements taken with the bike on its wheels, held upright by unreliable 3rd party but otherwise riderless & with around 1/2 tank of fuel onboard.

ung, you should work for a drug company.....

keeping it a 695cc
replacing cams (stock 1100) flywheel, cam gears. i have an 848 clutch i might try.
hmm been so long i forgot the plan

So the 1100 cams are a direct replacement? No other modification needed?

not sure as of yet. need to check valve stem length etc. and will need PC V if everything works.

Is it just me, or is anyone else dying to see the finished product?! I just gotta know what she looks like finished. I cant take it anymore! The build-up is killing me.

You beauty 

Cant wait to see how it turns out 

[greenmonster]

+1 on the red subframe, looks good!
Surprised more haven`t tried this.

[Duck-Stew]

This is the first 'new' Monster I'm actually looking forward to the completion of! 

Raux, nice work thus far and I'm sure there are 'final touches' that will add more to the bike than what you've already shown.  Kudos!!!

BTW, I did some research while still employed @ the local Duc shop (left for a better job).  Turns out the 796's run the same cams as the 696's do.  Just thought I'd put that out there.
