My dealer said...

[Rookie]

Hi all, new to the forum. Pick up my new monster in 5 days or so after a month wait. Went into my dealer today to check to see if it was in (which it wasn't) and he told me that my Termi's can be fitted straight away. Just wondering if this is BS as last week he was telling me that they were to be put on at 1k service but they only just RECENTLY changed it? Thought I'd ask here where all the monsteristi live 

Thanks in advance

My first Monster had zero on the clock when the termi's went on.......... 22,000 later and still not a problem 
well only problem is its my wifes now and I still get to pay for all the service

I rode my M1100 out of the dealership with Termis fitted from day one.

There is no "them" to just change "it".   Its pretty much up to the dealer.  Some dealers - at least in my part of the world - dont like to sell you a new bike with cans which technically... ahem... may not be completely street legal.... stamped as they are with the damning words "for racing use only".

Whereas when they fit 'em at the 1K first service they can claim they're "aftermarket' so you cant drag them into the "but thats how Ducati delivered the bike to me Officer" argument.

Which new monster you getting?

If I had the stock cans fitted to begin with it would encourage me to ride it more carefully and then when 'run-in' I'd drop them mo-fo's quicker than a whores drawers

depending on your state registration process, I would be careful about putting them on before you get your first plate and sticker..

I'm getting a Monster 696 in White 

I live in Australia so it all comes registered and insured before I even ride it out of the dealers (legally it has to). I must admit I got a little excited when he told me they could be fitted straight away, saves me having to do 1000km as quick as I can while trying to run it in

Welcome to the Monster club fellow Aussie. Now let's not mention the Olympics.

For the record my S4rs was ridden out of the dealer with termison and loud.

Aftermarket exhaust systems are a huge waste of money. 

Yep, i said it.

I dunno... I put the zard full system/dp full system flash on my SF and it dynoed at 150 rwp.  Most magazines test a stock sf at 135... pretty good showing for a aftermarket system.

oh and unless they give you cash for the stock cans, they're yours too.

my dealer tried to keep my stock seat because i bought the comfort seat at the sale.

I agree that's a big gain, but it's not worth the money to me.

Full Termi kit definitely not a waste of $$. On a RS it's worth almost 15 HP and more over 10 lb.ft. everywhere. I asked the dealer not to start mine without the kit on. Over 40K and never ever missed a beat yet. Definitely worth the $$.

it's true.  if you don't value lower weight, better looks, higher performance and better sound.

totally true.
