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:lol:

Halford will have the filter, oil and plugs but they wont have the crush washers.

Surely they`ll have a pack of assorted washers?

I`ll have a little look tonight on the way home..

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.

Sounds like a good plan...

But I`m working 6 day weeks untill new year and Ducati service places aint open sundays...

Hence, Halfords being easier, Mad Idea though, thinking Halfords would have anything for a Duke...

But you should always explore the easy options first...

Now with all the official Ducati Franchises closed down, anyone got a number for a service centre?

Cornerspeed perhaps? do the mail stuff out?

Cheers mate...

Just getting the bits in, so the bikes all sorted for spain..
