Warwickshire service

[andyboy]

Does anyone have any recommendations for servicing and parts
in the south Warwickshire area. Main dealer/independent?

[tricolore]

I would have thought only one option: Ducati JHP Coventry.

For servicing you can try Baines in Silverstone or G-Tec in Leicestershire but much further, JHP's your nearest and best bet..

Bristol not too far?? - CJS Racing and Louigi Moto - who work alongside each other

Sometimes worth travelling further for the right service!

Moto forza italia at silverstone are really good for all sorts.

You could just service it yourself? Its easy and cheap :)

Don't mind doing oil,plugs,and filters not sure about belts or are they easier to chang e than i think?

[utopia]

They are probably much easier to change than you think.
I've only done it on the old-style monsters, but to be honest, provided that you have a half decent mechanical aptitude, the most difficult bit is actually getting the belt covers off. The rest is pretty straightforward, with the help of the youtube video guides from Ducatitech.
I would imagine that the same applies to the new-style monsters.

Its no problem at all. Just follow a video from youtube and have the workshop manual to hand for torque values.

I have 05 S2R 800, I changed:

- Oil (Halfords)
- Oil Filter (Picked up from Ducati Coventry)
- Air Filter (Picked up from Ducati Coventry)
- Chain and sprocket (Ebay)
- New plugs (Picked up from Ducati Coventry)
- New cambelts (Picked up from Ducati Coventry)
- New tyres (had to take the wheels to a garage to have the changed over) (Ebay)
- New front calipers and pads (changed from smalls to goldlines) (Ebay)
- New disks (Ebay)

As long as you have the tools and manuals all of the jobs are easy as pie. Some nuts and bolts are a b*tch to get off, but they'll come eventually :)

There is an internal oil element filter on some of the engines, I couldn't for the life of me get mine out, but that's no biggy as the oil is regularly changed.

You save a packet doing it yourself. I think I spent in the region of £350-£400 for all of the above parts, that can be the price of a service at some places.
