I would have thought only one option: Ducati JHP Coventry.
For servicing you can try Baines in Silverstone or G-Tec in Leicestershire but much further, JHP's your nearest and best bet.. |

Bristol not too far?? - CJS Racing and Louigi Moto - who work alongside each other
http://louigimoto.com/ http://cjsracing.co.uk/ Sometimes worth travelling further for the right service!

They are probably much easier to change than you think.
I've only done it on the old-style monsters, but to be honest, provided that you have a half decent mechanical aptitude, the most difficult bit is actually getting the belt covers off. The rest is pretty straightforward, with the help of the youtube video guides from Ducatitech. I would imagine that the same applies to the new-style monsters. |

Its no problem at all. Just follow a video from youtube and have the workshop manual to hand for torque values.
I have 05 S2R 800, I changed: - Oil (Halfords) - Oil Filter (Picked up from Ducati Coventry) - Air Filter (Picked up from Ducati Coventry) - Chain and sprocket (Ebay) - New plugs (Picked up from Ducati Coventry) - New cambelts (Picked up from Ducati Coventry) - New tyres (had to take the wheels to a garage to have the changed over) (Ebay) - New front calipers and pads (changed from smalls to goldlines) (Ebay) - New disks (Ebay) As long as you have the tools and manuals all of the jobs are easy as pie. Some nuts and bolts are a b*tch to get off, but they'll come eventually There is an internal oil element filter on some of the engines, I couldn't for the life of me get mine out, but that's no biggy as the oil is regularly changed. You save a packet doing it yourself. I think I spent in the region of £350-£400 for all of the above parts, that can be the price of a service at some places. |
