Gonna do a little service on my 996 Hodgy..

Nothing fancy, just oil,filter,plugs...

Can you pick up the filter and sealer washers for the drain plug and pick up filter from somewhere like Halfords?

Or is it a trip to a Ducati parts place?

TIA

Pretty standard item to have in at the dealer, so would go there first.

Halfords is nearer and open later though...So the easier option..

mail order from a dealer or service centre?

Some dealers do post free or 10% off for members, sorted from comfort of yer club chair.

No need to even cross the threshold at Halfords, unless you wanna buy some Horsepower in the Ripspeed section, I'd recomend a Billet gear knob or maybe some neons for a 50 Horsepower hop up

Actually, they're not: they're only pence IIRC.

Worth going to your local dealer and buying a little stock of oil filters and crush washers. They're cheap enough, so it's a waste to make a special journey every time.
