Olympics

Amazing ride this month through the Olympic range. First one with the new exhaust with the modified db killers (bored out original 6 and an extra set 6 holes drilled in). 

Spring 2022

Hitting 12 years  I think I’m going to get a new exhaust for it. I think it totally deserves something new. 😊 

79.6

Yes that was the mileage on my trip meter today as I parked the bike at work :)

First 1000 miles

I have had my M796 for about two weeks now and am nearing 1000 miles (that included a ~700 mile trip up to Canada). As the miles have racked up, its running a bit smoother, even at the lower rpms, but again, it is happiest in its power range of 5-8k rpms, although I have not really pushed it too much at the higher end, given the break in period.

600 mile service (@about 800 miles) was done last week - included an oil/ filter change, cleaning of the oil screen, chain was way loose to tightened it up. That was about it. Cost $160.

In terms of mods, the mirrors have been replaced by bar ends. And waiting for the fender eliminator kit to get here. There are a few more mods I'd like to do, but at this point think this will be it.
