Hi , Does anyone know of anyone they would trust with a belt change? - 999s , I live north of Bedford by a few miles . We are a bit short of Ducati workshops in the area, Independents ok if recommended. Thanks.
I was also just going to recommend you contact Geoff at Baines Racing. Just done my 30k service with belts and very happy with his work.
St Neots Motorcycles do Ducati, just a few miles up the road, maybe good for bits and service site https://www.stneotsmotorcycles.com/pages/workshop/ducati-independent-specialist.htm
Old rider, that’s my plan next time? Got the new belts on so I am going to take tension readings to have a base line for when I do them, that’s if I can live with the tank range and keep the bike that long
99Hz for new belts from ExactFit. 90Hz for in-service tension. Taking tension readings from stretched in-service belts won't work. Measure tension with Gates CarbonDrive app downloaded to your phone - works a treat, especially when used in conjunction with a (cheap) plug in microphone.
Bit late probably, but can't recommend st Neots enough.The original and best Ducati dealer in the area before the bloody VW car dealership got the franchise and Ducati stuffed em. Great people and worth spending time at to look at collection and have a cuppa.
I use RPM, excellent service there from Iain. Baines have a very good reputation too or as above, St Neots who are really nice , helpful people.
