Title: New Monster Owner
Post by: john san on August 27, 2012, 07:01:54 PM
Hi Guys,

I am the new owner of 2012 Monster 1100 EVO. Traded a 2006 Harley Street Glide with 25k miles for a 2012 1100 EVO with only 512 miles on the clock! I've only put a couple hundred miles on it so far but the bike handles wonderfully and is a blast to ride. I already have a 14T sprocket on order and will likely be doing the full Termi kit next year. I joined up here to do some research and get some tips on mods for the bike.  I've been riding for almost 25 years and live in Freehold, NJ.

I also currently own:
2012 Tiger Explorer
2007 BMW R1200S
1998 Triumph Thunderbird Sport

I run a board for our club in NJ at www.njrats.com (http://www.njrats.com) (Admin, feel free to edit this out if its against the rules to post a link)

Yep, about 700 miles now.  I picked it up last week and changed the oil and filter as it hadn't even had its first service yet!  I checked with the local dealer and it looks like I need to have the rear rim replaced as its part of a recall.  It will be going in for that in a couple of weeks and I will also have him add the 14T front sprocket while its on the lift as well!
