Best price / quality Cam Belts

[Jez900ie]

Anyone bought new belts lately for an air cooled bike? Who is the best price supplier with great quality?

I have been quoted 76.00 inc VAT but don't mind paying less!

I've used std belts from Moto Rapido for the last 3 or 4 changes.
Largely because of the 10% club discount and the fact that, being a larger dealer they're unlikely to be selling older belts that have been on the shelf for ages.
The Exactfit belts that Darren refers to would be my alternative option.

Try DucatiManchester,
If you quote GEOFF when ordering parts, accessories or clothing untill christmas you'll receive a15% discount.

Ordered belts from Exactfit on Monday and already dispatched. I am doing my two valve S2 first as I expect it too be easier than my dohc Monster S4r. I am hoping that it will be quite straight-forward. U-Tube has got loads of stuff on it.

I've had two orders from Exact-Fit including the coil kit and the upgraded starter cable kit both currently waiting to go on. Communication and speed of delivery both excellent.

If you join Ducati UK forum for £15 you get discount on their parts and a Halfords Trade Card

The cam belt thing is weird in that I've worked on bikes - including my Ducatis for years. I bought my S4r new (as i did a couple of S4 monsters before). Buying new got me out of the habit of doing my own servicing and then I got a bit scared becuase I thought that I needed expensive special tools to do a lot of the work. Cam belt pensioning being one problem.

Now, after extensive research (mostly on YouTube!), I find that you can be quite relaxed about belt tension. It''s just common sense!

I know that CycleWorks have an option to use a guitar tuner which I have but even that may be unnecessary.

Cam belts for ST2 ordered from ExactUK on Monday (early hours) and just delivered by postman. Top service.
