New Monster Owner - Bath

03-07-2013, 01:21 PM

Hello everyone,

Just bought my first Monster, I traded in a Duke 848 for an 1100 Evo.

I am absolutely loving it !!

I have already added a few bits:

Puig Screen
SC Racing Single Titanium Exhaust
EvoTech Performance Exhaust Hanger
EvoTech Performance Tail Tidy
EvoTech Performance Radiator Protector

Are there any other mods I should be making?

All the best, Baz.

Welcome Baz! You must pop over to Calne Bike Day on 27th July, we'll have a stand outside the Information centre/Barclays Bank for the day (by the traffic lights in the middle of town). Check out the "Calne Bike Day" thread!

Bazread, you could do a lot worse than fit a 14 tooth front sprocket, and if you then have a spare £500 get the bike ECU remapped at www.cjsracing.co.uk it's an amazing alteration and makes the engine so sooth.

Welcome Baz.
Theres a few of us in and around your neck of the woods. Im in Corsham, Rally (Alun) is in Devizes and Liz and Stafford are in Calne. Theres a few more Monsters in the Bath n Chippenham area too.
As Liz says , get your hide to the Calne bike day, its a great day and having the stand, it lets us chill in an area with the bikes.
There are a few bike meets etc relatively locally too. Wiltshire Bikers (who I kno some of the Monster club keep an eye on their forum too) have a meet at the Harp and Crown in Gastard (nr Corsham) on a Wed eve, from around 1830.
Hope to see you around.

Welcome to the mad house Baz.
I wouldn't fit a 14 tooth if I was you, they are too small for the swinging arm and rub the front guide excessively unless you fit a larger rear as well. You are better fitting a S4rs rear sprocket if you want to gear it down. You would need extra links in your chain as well mind.

Hope to catch up sometime soon.
