Good bike, tough motor and adequate performance.

As I got out unusually early from work I was able to see (still daylight) and play (sun dried roads) on the way home. Apologies to the SV rider but you really should try harder

The Bridgestone T30's worked well but they've been fine in rain, snow and ice.

Hi and welcome

Great first bike, change them belts

And I just checked the coolant for you. I opened the window there seems to be plenty of air, it's almost breathable too. No charge this time

Thanks

Welcome, you won't go wrong using Louigi Moto based in Clutton, south of Bath, well thought of by many on here, and a nice ride out from Yeovil for you.

Get some ACF50.

I bought my bike in Autumn and have been maintaining it as best as I can, patiently waiting for the sun to come out and dry up all the snow (I'm in Austria). But I quickly learnt as a new Ducati/bike owner that ACF50 is life prolonging stuff and it can't hurt to spray it into every little nook and cranny to keep the corrosion at bay!

Welcome to the club, enjoy your bike!

A mod that I have just done that has transformed the bike is changing the front sprocket for one tooth smaller, 14 instead of 15. Brilliant, if you do city driving.

Enjoy the bike, I got mine about a month ago and loving it!
