For 998 users
 

Hi peeps, looking for any tips/advise with ownership of a 998 Bip. Except for Termis and hugger bikes standard an MY02 on a '04 plate and 2200 mls on the clock.

Thanks for input, :bouncy:

Keep it plugged into an optimate or similar!

What he said and, if it has a 190 rear tyre, change it to a 180 when you replace it.

Oh, and welcome...if the virtual bar's open , I'll have a Michelob...cheers!

welcome ... and buy some carbon fibre .. or better still, titanium bits for it ... and if it wasn't done at the factory, paint it RED ... most of all, enjoy it ....

thanks for the welcome and tips guys, got a Dataool 3 fitted so hoping alarm technology has improved so it will last a week or so before draining battery........ chargers on its way tho just in case.

course its RED Dibbs........ are there other colours? ;)

Welcome Enigma,

Get some P34 4 pad calipers.

You some them coming up quite cheap - less than £200 (you need lines too).

The braking improvement is huge.

They're a great bunch on this forum - loads of help and info available.

Sell it or It`l always keep you poor!

Just brought it bob, give us a chance :o

People told me when I bought my Buell XB12 it was gonna be breaking down........... two years, 13,000 smiles and no probs :cool:

I likes a challenge I do, :lol:

Actually like a lot of people on here I don`t think I`d sell my 998 come rain or shine, I get as much pleasure just tinkering with it as riding it.

I think you`l find the same, what one have you got?

By the way there`s a nice lady called Lizzie who takes money from people so that they can become paid up members and get the club newsletter etc etc etc, I would stronly recommend that you give her 20 beer vouchers as soon as possible, its well worth it as there`s a lot of good people on here who can offer advice and technical assistance.:D

Just got some nice Ohlins forks (see the thread "More Bling for my Bike http://www.ducatisportingclub.com/xm....php?tid=26034 )

These may well replace the production Ohlins already in my 998 Hybrid, as if it hasn't got enough done to it already.
