Looking at getting my timing belts done on my 748 at the begining of next year. Anyone know where to get them done in Scotland? Im in fife but dont mind traveling a bit.

Also what should I be expecting it to cost?

Had thought of doing it myself, but from what ive read seems it shouldnt be that expensive (couple of hours labour) so i guess its not worth the risk.....

Cheers

Stu,

Am in Fife also mate.

There's no-one near-by I'm affraid - the only people I trust with my bike are the boys at Ducati Glasgow.

Where in Fife are you?

Cheers!

Anyway, what about Timing belts. Theres a guy who worked for Alvins...Ducati technician...stays round the corner from us...ive got his number...works for himself now. I phoned him the other day and he said he will service Dukes at roughly half price. Cant be bad?

Absolutely!

He wasn't just any mechanic at Alvins, he was the workshop foreman/chief technician and factory trained too.

And he was there up until early this year I think (maybe late last year?), so should still be up-to-date on Ducati training.
