Cam Belt Replacement

Discussion in 'Technical Help' started by Gar696, Feb 24, 2021.

  1. Can anyone suggest a good independent in Lincolnshire to change cam belts on my Diavel, don’t fancy being raped by Ducati.
    Thanks in advance.
     
  2. I don’t have an independent address for you as I’m in Holland. But just the assumption of being raped by Ducati.....

  3. Hi

    Italia Moto in Lincoln have a very good reputation ......been going for many years..... they were a main dealer but dropped the dealership as I believe Ducati put too many constraints on the business and require big investment.

    I myself prefer talented independents such as Italia Moto, Louigi Moto in the west country etc ....

    Cheers

  4. look under the "dealer reviews" tab on this forum...also a search across the forum for Italia Moto will pull up quite a lot of posts

    Cheers

  5. That's a valid point .

    There are some very glitzy "boutique" dealerships these days , that look like high-end fashion retailers ,
    and you have to ask the question .... " Who is paying for all of this ? "

    The casino industry is another good example .... ;)

  6. Speaking purely for my own taste and experience here .......I find Main Dealers dull to look round .... situation now reminds me of when you'd go to a cycle shop in the 70s 80s ....loads of interesting varied brands of bike frames .... cycle parts etc. .....now its a Specialised shop or sumfink .... same old stuff ...no variety ...bored ...meh!

    Last time I went in Moto Italia ..... pre covid ...yum yum .....nice mix of interesting old Ducatis ..other Italian bikes ....
     
  7. Just been reading other posts and people paying £1000s + I believe that’s having your pants down, not written to offend, my opinion.
     
  8. You should find a specialist that feels good, pay a visit to see what’s going on etc. Could be a dealer or an independent. There are lots of cowboys, independent or not.
     
  9. BDS PERFORMANCE in Peterborough is not that far from you, excellent service and know their way round a Ducati
     
  10. Thanks Ket10.
