Dwayne from Dwayne's Bikes & Jet Skis would be worth a call.

Worked on Ducatis at Norjos and be on it own for years now - usually a few parked up there when I pass.

Someone local will confirm.

I understand Casbolts are setting up somewhere out of the cordoned -off zone so worth a phone call too.

[TOTO]

Congrats, hope your electrical skills are up to date :killingme

[SVboy]

plus 1 to Duane-great mechanic

Casbolts are back up and running on the corner of Ferry Road and Ensors/Aldwins Road.

I had a bad experience with Dwanye recently....personal treatment issue though not mechanical.

Nice!

Awesome! you will love it!

I had a fantastic run out of my ST4 ,hope I can say the same bout my new Italian....:love:

[far queue]

+1 for Duane - I took mt ST4s to him when I had it - good work, good price. Plus a mate with a Paso uses him also.

[Taz]

Bet ya hate your handle now taz

No not really. Why??

[LBD]

The 916 S4 was my first Duc....loved it so much I traded up to a S4Rs...then bought a 1098s and now hve a MTS1200....all from Casbolts.

I had an excellent run with my S4....

As far as Duc mechanics, Jim at Casbolts is as good as they get... and he's not a bad bloke either.

Which service are you up for?

And if you find the engine braking/rear wheel chatter too much, have I got a deal for you....I have a spare second hand EVR slipper clutch that may just fit.

What's with those air grills on the fuel tank?

Hey there, I've just had my Ducati in for its 24K service - belts etc. I took it to Roger at Road and Race in New Brighton.
I have a friend who has used him in the past but I've always used Casbolts. I was really impressed with Roger, he was really thorough, he checked everything - he only replaced what needed replacing and his service was world class - nothing was too much trouble for him.
He stayed back late so that I could pick it up after work and he'd paid attention to the little details that are so important.
I really cant speak highly enough of this guy. My bike runs like a dream. I will definitely be taking my bike back to him.
After all the years of putting up with sub-standard customer service from casbolts (which was a shame because the mechanic at casbolts is also really good at what he does) I have finally found the right combination of great service and great mechanic. Very happy camper.

I have never had a Ducati but am thinking of getting one. I have also never had a bike that I have not managed to service/pull apart/rebuild myself. Ducati servicing costs a fortune so if I were you I'd get a manual and some good tools and just get on with it. It is not rocket science.

[jim.cox]

Servicing ANY bike costs a fortune.

Not just Ducatis

And the design and extended service intervals of the new Ducatis actaully mean the costs are quite reasonable

I agree totally! The myth just won't go away...

[vifferman]

Servicing ANY bike costs a fortune.
That's why my bike doesn't get serviced (apart from the odd oil change, suspension upgrade, that sort of thing....)
The trick is to buy a bike that can put up with being owned (or is that "pwnd"?) by a fuckwit.

[cbrdaz]

booked in at road and race i did alot of repairs/servicing on my old cbr but for this girl I'm gonna leave it to someone who knows them inside out dont mind spending a bit of money to have it running as it should be

[YellowDog]

Congrats on your new toy.

Colour and can set it off really nicely.

Looks a real beauty.

I know the feeling of pride in your new weapon of choice an wanting the best money can buy for it ........... but If your confident why not do all the little things like brakes an oil changes airfilter urself? At least you know its done right then.
Its time for mine to get the clearances checked an I hate the thought of anyone opening up my baby girl an fiddling with her while I'm not there :(

[mikeey01]

Nice one dude! :yes:
