Title: Hello From Canada!!
Post by: Denny19700 on June 17, 2014, 08:36:45 AM
Hello All;

 Bought a 2013 Monster 796 ABS in March, absolutely love the ride! Will post some pics later.  It is just going in for the first 1000K service.  It is still a baby.
  Been riding for about 20 years took a few off when the kids were young.  Now my 17 year old has an interest so Ducati is the only ride for us!  Live in Southern Ontario, the Family has a house in Italy (Hopes of visiting soon!)  Work in the Automotive Industry and travel to the US Southern States and Japan quite often for work.
   Looking for some good roads to ride, will find them eventually.


 Will be looking for some mufflers in the near future, this topic is what brought me to this forum.


Cheers!
Dennis

Welcome!

Good taste!  ;D

Good roads where? Around you or in the SE? Plenty down here. Just ask.

Didn't need mufflers on mine. Have tinnitus and wear ear plugs as is.  8) The stock ones get louder with age, BTW.

Currently live in Waterloo, Ontario.  Grew up near Niagara Falls, Ontario.  Tonnes of cool riding in Niagara, Waterloo so far has been boring.  Will venture out on the summer holidays.

  Exhaust wise will probably wait until the winter months.

Forgot to mention earlier. If you haven't done the service yet, you may want to consider a 14T front sprocket. Search the forum. Most think it a huge and cheap upgrade. The one for 796 is specific to that bike and 796 Hyper though and not shared with other Monsters. The Driven Racing part # is 1067-525-14T.
