Since changing job circumstances mean
I now use my St4s for my daily 135mile round trip to work ,its clocked up 10,800 miles.
So far its had replaced, fuel gauge lcd display ( found cracked at dealer pdi),
Ecu,(under warranty at first service, poor battery charging),rear tyre at 3,000, front tyre at 7,000. Its now on Avon Av45st Azarro's front and rear. Chain has been adjusted only 3 times. I'm getting nearly 60mpg at 'motorway' speeds.
I'm going to change the cam-belts myself (I'm a reasonably competent mechanic) as there's no official dealer in my area!
Found this 'tech info' web site useful
http://www.ducatitech.com I'm going to get my local garage to check out the tip that the belts are same ones as those used in Renault Clio 1.1 engine
The headlight is c##p! I've just put a 100w H1 bulb in the main beam to try and get a better spread of light (not very 'euro legal' but it seems to work),it does get mighty hot though so I'm restricting its' use to only when bike is 'in motion'
And finally, as I'm going to be on the bike all winter, has anyone got any recommendations for heated grips??
