Hello

Hi, just joined the forum, so would like to say hello.

I'd also like a bit of advice if it's the right place to ask here, or if I'm supposed to create a new thread in the relative category, then apologies.

I'm currently looking to change my bike, and I'm seriously thinking about the 796 Hypermotard.

I currently ride a KTM 640 supermoto, which I really like, but I have toured it a couple of times and being a big single, it kind of shakes me, and itself, to bits. Mostly though I use it for commuting, so what I want is a light-ish bike that is commutable in the city, but also capable of doing the very occasional tours to Europe. A big ask really.

I've read that I should change the sprocket to a 14T to make it smoother in traffic, which was also something that needed doing on the KTM.

I've also read a few threads on here about touring the 796 so looks like its possibly the bike for me, so really I'm waiting for the weather to warm up so I can take one for a test ride.

What is the service intervals for the 796?

Thanks

Phil
