Hi,

I'm new on here and quite new to Ducati's so have a couple of questions.

I bought the above bike in August (what a machine I have always dreamed about owning a 748 after 6 years of Sv650 ownership). Anyway it came with full dealer history and 4,500 miles on the clock. The major belt service was done before I bought it and it's only covered about 500 miles in the interim. It will be due a service in the spring before I bring it over to Norway where I am now based.

I would normally say it would just need an oil and filter change but I am used to Jap bikes. Does anything else need looked at, at the same time?

Also you may, or may not be aware, that Norway is a very expensive place to live and car / bike servicing is mega expensive, at least double that of the UK!! So is there anything I should be doing on a 3 year old 748 from a preventative maintenance point of view before I bring it over to Norway?

Any thoughts would be very much appreciated.

Craig
