Hi Everone !
Just traded my Fireblade RR1 for a Ducati monster S4 with 13,000 miles on the clock and service history...picking the bike up next Saturday..
I would appreciate any addvice on servicing / maintenance as I have been advised the belts & service need doing every 6,000 miles which seems a bit drastic . Dont change my underwear that often...

thanks in addvance all replys

Welcome to the site

I think you'll find all the info (covered many times) if you use the search part of the site - its a really good tool

Your advice is incorrect tho - the belts need doing every 2 years OR 12,000 miles - whichever comes 1st - with the major service.
In between is the annual service for lubes/filters etc.......
