Hey Matthew and welcome to the channel! Personally I dont think the bike sounds weird at 5-6k RPMs. I’ve noticed that as the RPMS go up in speed that the pitch goes from a low sound to a high sound. As thats the sound ive always heard when accelerating since ive had it, i never questioned it - so to me the bike sounds like it’s functioning correctly. Do you have a clip i could listen to maybe to better understand what youre hearing?

Yea Im using the healtech quick shifter

Hey PortuXrideR and welcome to the channel!! I love it (yea totally biased) LOL its my first bike, I think its so much fun to ride and it honestly makes me feel special in a way that other bikes don’t. In terms of maintenance its comparable to other manufactures but yes its definitely gonna cost a little bit more - I think its worth it though. The bike needs major services done every 7500 miles, on average itll cost 1600 dollars give or take 100 dollars. It takes two days to get done. So contingent on how frequently you ride per season you might be going every other year or once every 3-4 years. What really gets me is tires. The tires that I use last less 5000 miles and then usually winter makes me change them early (just because of the deformation from sitting in one position so long). So I get tires done every other year. The total cost of tires and labor for me is 500 dollars give or take 50 dollars which is similar to what you paid for some thing else. I’d say don’t worry so much about the cost because when you see your bike and youre riding it - it never comes to mind. Its more like, “yea this is great - I love this”

@@howtoblaze6765 I'm working on my A2 license here in europe and i will see what I'm gonna do, i love yamaha r3, ninja400, sv650x, and monster 696( but that maintenance make me feel fear). Europe is getting expensive af....

That’s awesome!! Youre definitely gonna get the license! Those are all great choices! Yea I remember that feeling too haha I remember the when I had to pay for my first major service - it definitely hurt but I never regretted it. As I really wanted my bike and love it so much - I just accepted that this is what it costs. Heres a little secret, get a bike you love, then youll never worry about the money

@@howtoblaze6765 i love yamaha R3 and ninja 400, probably gonna be my choice, where i leave I don't need much more power, its all about curves and mountains

Oh okay yea go with the ninja 400!! It’ll make a great ride for those roads!!

Thanks man! Think I’m gonna use it again for future videos!

Da próxima vez que eu o vir, eu o avisarei lol Bem-vindo ao canal Ricardo C!!!

Yea man! That Camaro totally blew me outta the water. I think maybe things would’ve been a little different if we had an even start

Hi RB73 Moto and welcome to the channel!! Ah thanks man and for sure!! You ride safe too!! And thank you so much for subscribing!!

Ah thanks John! Really appriecate it!!

Lol it’s fun - I just wish I could go faster 🤣

Hey BakiAksoy and welcome to the channel!! Yea go ahead - what’s up??

@@howtoblaze6765 Thank you partner. I am in Turkey. I bought a 696 2 months ago, I had a desmo, the engine is very good, but the starter dynamo I checked last week started to leak a few drops of oil from under it, a very small amount only a few drops, what is the reason and how can I solve it.

Turkey - that’s so cool! I’m in the USA. Congratulations on the bike!! I’m really happy for you!! Yea my 696 use to have that problem. I just took it to the dealership and let them handle it. They did an oil change and tightened the filter as much as they could and that stopped it. Haven’t had that problem in years. Regardless though, I’m pretty sure that’s one of the common problems that the 696 has

@@howtoblaze6765 thank you my friend you have been very helpful

@@howtoblaze6765 I will be in service as soon as possible

Hey broddi169 and welcome to the channel! Yea you’re absolutely right! I was definitely surprised at how fast and relaxed he was!

@@howtoblaze6765 of they have had the ECU reflashed and the stock restrictions removed they are no joke.

Yea I believe you - that sounds like a lot of bike to handle lol

@@howtoblaze6765 I've had mine reflashed and sideburner exhaust put on. The sound is incredible. As you know you can't capture the sound on video like hearing it in real life.

@@Broddi169 thats so cool! I’d love to hear it! Do you have any videos I could watch??

Haha thanks John!

Im happy you really enjoyed the video 100k gaming!! And thank you so much for subscribing!! Welcome to the channel!!

Hey Denis Kuharenko and welcome to the channel!! Yes I have ABS on my bike, it came with it and was one of the reasons I bought it!!

Oh dude you’re gonna have a great time! You should check out the video before this one! I think you’ll like it a lot more!

Hey 3 am!! What’s goin on? Hope you’re doing awesome!

@@howtoblaze6765 I'm not doing much and I'm doing well, how are you doing

@@3am_- pretty good! Still playing injustice? How goes agents of mayhem?

@@howtoblaze6765 I've been grinding for materials for random things and have been trying to 100% agents of Mayhem

@@3am_- did you get any good gear for anyone? Nice! How much progress have you made ?

Hey 20 - RYSZARD KEN SAKTI and welcome to the channel!! I did consider switching to an after market exhaust at one point but ultimately didnt because I didnt wanna put any more money into the bank, especially knowing it wouldn’t increase the value of it. The other reason was that there wasn’t any particular aftermarket exhaust sound/note that I actually liked, so i decided to keep it stock instead

Thanks John!!

Hi Mathieu7804 and welcome to the channel!! I got it from amazon, here’s the link!! a.co/d/eZmY2pi

Thanks man!!

Thank you!!

Hey soufianee|moutaoukil5213 and welcome to the channel!! Thank you!! What do you think the problem is? If it’s really rattley metallic sound that could just be the sound of the license plate vibrating because I have he microphone really close to it

I don't think that's it. The sound of the 696 is more round and smooth normally, I think there is something else. You can listen to the sound here to compare: m.th-cam.com/video/FkO_Y5Fi9gs/w-d-xo.html By the way, love yours videos

@@soufianeelmoutaoukil5213 Hey I just saw the video!! In terms of the sound - it sounds like that person has an external microphone in their backpack and that they have a modified exhaust. Mine is totally stock. I definitely see what you mean about the running smooth sound though, yea maybe something is wrong with mine lol im hoping to get it serviced soon. Thank you!! If you have any video ideas Id love to hear them!!
