Serviceing in my area and scotoilers???

[chris99]

The nearest main dealer to me is Ducati Leeds. My 748s is due its 6000 mile service and they want £500:o. A guy in a bike shop in Hull said i should go to a place called Italia or something like that in lincoln. Has anyone ever used them? what did you think on price/service? Are there other better options in my area?

I still have the scotoiler from my old R6 and was wondering if its possibe to fit them to fuel injected bikes or is there a different version.

Cheers Chris

Why not try Neil at Cornerspeed 01623 758877
just of the M1 junc 28, or the people in LIncoln are Italia Moto but i don't have their number.

Cornerspeed do come highly reccommended of many people here.

Is the bike still under warranty? If so best use an authorised Ducati dealer, so that would be Italia Moto.

In answer to your question, take it to nelly at Cornerspeed. He's just down the motorway off jct 28 M1 and will do you a top job for a fixed price.

I used to use Italia in Lincoln, but lost confidence in them a few years ago, subsequent stories from other members would lead me to believe things haven't improved much, and you'll usually wait an age to get the thing in there in the first place.

Hi All

anyway we both use italia and so do alot of my monster mates, we have found then brilliant and not to expensive
I would be happy to recomend them...

Oh and we also have scottoilers on both our monsters.

:bouncy::bouncy: Thanks for the quick replies guys. I guess i will call both and see what they can do for me. Are monsters injected? I thought they had carbs?

[BDG]

P.S. I've scotoilers on various injected bikes, any probs ring Scotoiler themselves as they're very helpfull.

[Julie and Ruth]

my monster is injected. 620ie

[chris99]

Cool. Cheers BDG + julie (from julie + ruth):D

Sherpa Tensing on Coll 13 is a dab hand servicing my 996. I can get 180 in third down the north face now! Sherpa Tensing is working on an improved braking system as we speak.

I have a scottoiler on my ST4S, and the vacuum pipe is connected to the rear cylinder manifold.
Go to the ST section (one down from this) and have a look for a scottoiler post. It has photos of where the pipe is connected (posted up by some nice people when I asked about fitting one).

Basically you locate a screw that is normally used for balancing and fit one of the brass connectors supplied with the oiler kit in place of the blanking screw.

I know a guy that has a scottoiler fitted to a 998S too, so it must be possible on the later engines.

HTH.

Cheers,
John.

Hi i live in Scunthorpe and have a ride into Lincoln regular, always pop in at Italia for a look, i have never dealt with them but a freind who had a 916 always told me they did a good job servicing his bike. Although i have had 2 trips to Neils at cornerspeed and he does an excellent job for a excellent price, therefore my bike aint goin anywere but Corner speed in the future!

A pal with a 748 has a scottoiler and the meter/reservoir fitted under the seat suffers from the heat. Even with the thicker oil and on minimum setting, it dumps onto the tyre in warmer weather - yikes!
