Chief, I've always had good service from PvT. There are always people who find fault with a dealer and if you look hard enough, you will find a few who have had issues with them.
Could you give us an idea of how long you've been riding bikes for, what you use the bike for, how many miles it has covered, in town, out of town etc? That will help us get a clearer view of the issue. I would say that your mates diagnosis is partly true. The clutch itself should be covered under warranty; the plates will not be because they are wear items like the brake pads. That said, if they've been damaged because of a warranty fault, my personal opinion is that they should be changed foc. Could you clarify your issue with the back brake please? I would expect the rear wheel to lock if you're really standing on it. Re price, I've found them a little heavy, but everything should be laid out clearly on the invoice. I'm beginning to form a view that PvT cater for the Ducati owners who want to ensure their bike always runs properly and are happy to pay a premium for that, rather than those who want only a basic annual service and compare prices carefully. I'm not judging either group and I would hope that other members will respect that. Enjoy, J.

I can't imagine the dealer paying for warranty work, I would suspect they claim it back off Ducati. Look at me who uses another dealer other than that she bought her bike from and I'm on my 3rd Petrol tank and I'm sure they said they get the money back from Ducati.

My point was that people may want to spend more money on their bike than the strict service schedule dictates. They don't have to, but they might choose to. We don't really know anything about chiefs bike other than something cost £700 and he's got a problem with his clutch. Hence my questions.

Pro-Twins
Was just about to buy a S2R from Pro-Twins! Mmmmmmm! Also is it true if I fit Leovince Cans after I have broken the bike in will this make my warranty void as they are not a Ducati product etc...? and can anyone advise on Leovince, Pro-Twins say that the welding is far supperior?

If you want a good service centre, and you're not worried about warranty issues (which I believe they still have to honour as ong as the bike has been serviced, regardless of who by) then I would recommend Proteam in Wimbledon. 0208 9477 555. They're both really helpful and friendly. And its the only people I would take my bike to in London for service work.
Hope this helps. Phil |

Give them a shout. I had a problem with a second hand M900 I bought a year or so ago and they did an inspection and gave me all the amo i needed to go back to the other people and bombard them with facts! It was beautiful! I hate it when people take the p......s when they know that someone doen not have there knowledge. Good luck with getting it sorted, Pieter |

Protwins did fit them to close to the indicator though which started to burn away, then when i went to get the issue fixed, they wanted to charge me, i said that it was an issue with the original work and that i wanted it for free, they took the price of the new indicator off but not after looks of distaste. |
