Hi from SC

[rideserotta]

Hello,

Just got a new (to me) 2005 Monster 620 in red. It's got a tail chop with integrated turn signals in the taillight, bar end mirrors, and bar riser... stock other than that. It also came with an extra Corbin seat (two up with the Italian colors stitched discretely on the side. I'm coming from a Suzuki Katana 600 and it's true what they say about soul. The Katana was smoother and probably much less to maintain (well, definitely not probably!) but there's no comparison in my opinion. The Monster breathes life, rumbles like a bike should, and seems to be alive.

I have a few questions that I'll be posting in the appropriate sections and I'm looking forward to learning more about my bike.

Caio,
Scott

Welcome!

I don't buy the hype about maintenance costs. I'd wager you never had a valve check on that i4. When they come due, prepare to offer your first born to the mechanic in trade 

Once you get to your questions, I'm sure you'll get answers - more than you might want even if you as a 'should I' sort of question
