Phoned Ducati again as I wasnt satisfied with their answer.
They know who Simon Watson is and agree that he is very well recognised. But in order to replace the rockers they have to be done by an authorised dealer.
So they suggested getting Simon finish the service and replace the old rockers. Then have me give my bike to Ducati, to have them pull it apart and replace the rockers with knew ones.
Thought about it for a while and then decided that this is probably not the best idea, as Simon will do a superb job on my bike, better than the dealer, so why pay for a great job to be done, to have it undone by a dealer.. who would probably notice my Blue Flame cans and the new Eprom chip and say that the warranty has been voided anyway!! there is logic in thier somewhere.
So, the good news it that Ducati would replace the parts no worries, even if it has been serviced by an un-authorised dealer. But they wont let anyone else carry out the work.
I just cant understand why they dont have on the shelf replacements parts in this instance. Would make things soooo much easier.
Many thanks for all of your replies on this matter.
