Puncture and Ducati Card Assistance

[azarms]

Hi all,

I've had my Monster 696 for 2 months and unfortunately got my first puncture tonight :(
I managed to get it home and so now its parked outside with a rear flat.

I'll sort getting it fixed in the morning, but does anybody know if Ducati Card Assistance will sort getting it to the tyre shop? Otherwise I'll need to get AA or RAC so that I can get the bike towed to where it needs to go.

How about trying a mobile tyre fitter?

I didn't think of that - will check that out for central london. thanks.

I've got a number four bloke in South London if that's any good? Where are you in London?

[azarms]

I'm in central london. Live in WC1, work in the city.
If your guy travels north of the river that would be great.

Chazbikes or FWR if you can get enough air in it to get to shop

dont think ducati will cover this as is wear and tear not a warranty issue

best plan is buy a quick hit puncture plugger for £10, most motorbike bike shops should have this (infinty in holborn or gt portland st)
.
pump it up, then take it to chas bikes in waterloo/lambeth north or FWR in kennignton to get it plugged properly (ie from the inside) or get a new tyre if the hole is too far from the centre line for them to plug. fwr are the usually chepest for tyres in london

i tend to carry a quick hit puncture kit everywhere along with one of those litle compressed gas cannister pumps for push bikes £20 from evans (u need at least 2 gas canisters for a motoribike rear tyre). they will fit under the seat with the toolkit


good luck
