Hi to all from Croatia. My name is Franko and I'm a fresh owner of 696 Monster. I'm here to learn more about my new bike and meet other monster fans.

Cheers

Modifications will wait for a while. I had a 10 years pause from motorcycles so I have to get back in the saddle first. Truth be told, I was riding Aprilia Atlantic 500 for last 8 years but you can't really compare it to a bike.

The biggest issue for now is the jerky throttle response at low rpm. I am dealing with it somehow, but my wife has problems with that, especially in 1st gear after stopping

Throttle tamer helps at low rpm. ^^^
Correct adjustment of chain helps if its sloppy.
Also a tune with mixture adjustment to fix lean Euro EPA tuning by whatever means is available. Rexxer remap, PCV, dealer trim adjustment (if possible for your ECU), etc.

Post in tech section for more help

Yes, Thank you.

Re: the jerkiness...adding a few teeth to the rear sprocket will help.
