Picked up more parts at Tocino's today! I'm in LOVE!!!

I'm a little torn. The suspension isn't set up for me so it's a little soft (since Tocino weighs 12 lbs and I weigh 1200 ). Who are we kidding? Hell yeah, I'm taking it! 

Anybody want to play suspension guru? I printed the suspension manifesto out of the FAQ's, but don't have the the tools and such to do it. Like that spanner wrench for the rear shock...it's so soft I feel like I'm floating down the road on a lazyboy like a harley rider.

You'll most likely be looking at getting the forks re-sprung, so keep that in mind.  Not sure what weight range the spring on the rear shock is quoted for...

That's what winter is for. I can limp along soft for now....hmmm. that sounds bad depending on the context.

If the spanner wrench is the same used to rotate the hub I can bring one tomorrow. If the forks are adjustable, then you can just increase pre-load and rebound, if not then just sit a bit further back 

The spring on my 750 is compressed all the way to the max. Come winter I'll get one from racetech. Maybe we could turn this into a group thing.

Of course there will be those who actually work on the bikes and those who will just sit around and drink beer

As if I know

The forks are adjustable and I have the stock settings from the owner's manual. I may run down and play around with it after I eat some dinner.

I'm game!

Everyone needs a little immoral support every now and then.

Have to take the bars off to get to all the fork adjuster bits, so I stole the speedy moto frame sliders from the 620. Poor 620.

nice looking bike, but put the baffles back in, was riding a 796 today with termi slipons without baffles way too obnoxious and i actually like the sound of termi but this was rediculous., no wonder states are passing laws against it.   

[Meerkat]

Two problems with leaving the baffles in:
1) How will 696rider know I'm home if he doesn't hear me as I burn down 4th St NW?
2) Quiet pipes interfere with my plan to decrease the number of cages on the road by setting off their alarms every chance I get.

I think I have an adjustable one...I'll have to look...I know at one point I picked one up...but I haven't registered seeing it since the move...

Massimo had a wrench. Thanks for the offer.

Thanks, I don't think it's as loud as the termis on my 620, but the engine braking snap, crackle, pop is beautiful! You should come out and ride with us this morning.

[696DCRider]

Damn it all to hell.  I didn't read about the ride today and I just woke up a little while ago.

You know nothing of Snap, Crackle and Pop!   

[Meerkat]

Obviously, you're confusing snap, crackle, pop with a home-style Howitzer.
