I should have posted this first before posting about my clutch problem..
My names is Will. I'm in LA right now and am riding a 2011 Monster 696. I've been riding since I was around ten, obviously learning on the dirt. I began riding on the street in November when I bought my bike.
It's a blast, and while I didn't do much research before buying (i.e. oil changes and major services recommended TWICE as often as most other bikes AND labor rates usually about 25% higher!!...), I still wouldn't give up my baby for the world!
ride safe!
