[QUOTE=steeevvvooo;508277]...... and ride the torque rather than rev the nuts off it.

....is the perfect advice.
Though having said that, they will rev quite high for a twin.

Welcome along.
And congrats on the test.

If you're replacing bolts (and starting out on a new biking career) I'd recommend getting a small tin of black molybdenum disulphide grease.
Its fairly expensive stuff but will last forever and is the best stuff to use on threads in my opinion (beats copperslip), as well as being called for by Ducati for certain high stress, high torque threads anyway.
And as always, its worth mentioning that the timing belts need changing every two years, so change yours unless you know they're fairly new.

Judging from your forum name....yellow one, is it ?
