I think you're right Rattler - Ducati does seem to be going the solus route. As for Bob Hills, I had mine serviced there as it's final one just before it went out of warranty and they did a good job. I live in Chelmsford so Bob Hills is a good 40 mile trek, even though Ron Parkinson was 10 miles up the road... During the services at Bob Hills, they pulled the cams to check for flaking of the rockers and only charged me an hour extra. I also had some fuelling problems that they sorted out under warranty, even though I was running 50mm Termis with a JHP chip. It spent two days in there in total and they let me have a monster (with 137 miles on it!) while mine was in there. So yes, they did a great job at the time. Total cost was £580 inc for the 12K service which included the rocker check and a new fuel chip. However, once the warranty was out I took it to TecMoto for it's next service and it turned out that the (then) mechanic was Tim who had previously worked at Bob Hills, so the bike had the same mechanic but just through a different place! TecMoto has since changed hands and I have been told that the mechanic there is now Paul who was at Ron Parkinson until it closed last month. |
