Differences between the 2012 and 2011 M696

[IndyDave]

Purchased a 2012 monster several weeks ago and learning more and more about mods, tech, maintenance etc.

Question is what are the difference in parts between 2011 and 2012 monster 696? If I look for aftermarket mods will 2011 items fit on the 2012?

I appreciate the help!

No difference unless it's the ABS vs non-ABS model

[IndyDave]

So the only difference is the 2012 I have has abs and the 2011 696's do not?

Everything else is same?

Cheers

Some 696's have ABS, some do not....has nothing to do with the year.  has to do with whether you wanted it, and you paid for it. I wanted a black 696 but they didn't have it with ABS so i had to settle for white.  i have a 2011 white 696 with ABS.  As far as i know, nothing has changed...yours is just newer.
