First Monster

Hi to all, just bought my first Monster, a 1000s on 55 plate, 29k on the clock. Loving it already.

Looking at the service history it looks like the cambelt hasn't been changed for a few years. Looking to get this done and a service asap, however not sure of the best place. Popped into Riders Bristol and they quoted £ 560.00, always a bit dubious about main dealers, are they any good.

Thanks

That seems a bit on the high side. My 4v didn't cost that much. Nearly, but then I did have £60 worth of oil into that.

Hi & welcome Portals,

I recently had my Evo serviced (including Cam Belts) by Riders of Bristol for £470, the service was fantastic. I had the use of a loan bike (821) and they kept me regularily updated - I would recommend them I just wish I had the "spannering" skills to do myself as £470 is a lot of money that I could of spent on carbon !!

If you're going to Bristol I'd give Rich a call at Louigimoto a call

A proper Ducati enthusiast.

Another recommendation from Rich Llewellen at Louigimoto, just south of Bristol. What he doesn't know about Ducatis really isn't worth knowing!

Yet another "thumbs up" for Louigi Moto - I take my S2R there and can vouch that you will get first class service at a decent price. I can't remember what the belt replacement cost last time, but it was certainly less than you have been quoted by Riders.

Thanks to everybody for the response, Louigi Moto sounds interesting and worth a shot.
