Hi There!



Well, I've finally managed to get around joining this board and thought I'd post a bit about the ride and my Monster*.  (*The bike, that is. )

2012 Monster EVO purchased Dec, 2012.  Current mileage:  13,750.  Trackdays:  4.  SS1k's:  1.  Outerspace?  Maybe...



it's been a few places and I'm looking forward to putting some real miles on her.  She's definitely a willing scoot.



Current Mods:

Arrow Ti Exhaust
De-Bunged exhaust pipe
Removed Flapper
Custom (*self-fab) Exhaust Hanger
Reflashed Chip
Oberon Bar End Mirrors
Speedy-Moto crash bungs
2x quad Cree 3,000 lumen driving lights
Heated Grips
Gerber e-Vest plug
Escort 8500 under the tail
PDM60 fuseless circuit breaker
USB charger
IPhone charger in the tail
Garmin GPS
Shorai Battery
25mm Cartridge fork conversion
Penske 8975 shock
398# wet.   

Stock Seat. 

And yet, in spite of my efforts I still average 110 miles to the fuel light and I've seen a high of 168 miles (.25 gal left!) in the tank on fill up.   

Now if someone can point me to a proper vid on how to do the damn valves I'd be much appreciative!
