So while it's not an issue for the MOT I thought I'd ask how much (Ducati Aylesbury)...the service chaps initial guess was about £200 before checking...my reply was 'thats for both right?!'. Of course, the reply was each...anyway, he then checked properly and I heard a sharp intake of breath before announcing that one replacement disc from Ducati would be £350...!
I've now had a shop about and found an 'upgrade' disc 'Serie Oro' Brembo disc for £227. Whilst I've no intention of changing yet when it doesn't seem to affect the ride and passes an MOT, but was wondering if anyone could tell me if these Serie Oro discs are a genuine upgrade from the standard Brembo disc even if it is £120 cheaper per disc!
Had exactly the same problem with my M1200s but luckily for me I had them replaced under warranty (darren69's post). As it was very slight and only noticeable below 5mph I was going to leave them, if hey had of got worse I was also looking at Serie Oro replacements. Hope my new disks last a bit longer than 7000 miles.
