Hi all another newbie here, i've finally scraped the cash together for a 749s and pick it up on friday
however it's up for it's first belt service and i'm not sure who to use. has anybody had any dealings with veloce in norwich or does anyone know where i can get a decent job done in norfolk?

i'm so chuffed i'll just stick my card behind the bar and you can help yourselves

Have no fear Sparkins here.Is your bike still under Ducati warranty?If it is Veloce are as good or bad as any other dealer.If you`re not bothered or out of warranty then like Henry said it has to be Carl Harrison.
Where abouts in Narfuk are you?And you is coming on the Fish&Chip run on the 31st OK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

click on my web link below for info on Carl

See ya next Sunday


PS.was that to pushy lads?

the bike is still under warranty (04 model) so i think the belt change has to be done by a duck dealer otherwise the warranty is invalid but i could be wrong?

sparkin, wheres the run from/to? i'm a few miles from king's lynn, if i dont have to work i'll probably tag along and show you how not to ride bike. compared to my old ss the riding position is proper agressive and it has ferocious brakes. but then again my last bike was a 250 motox so err...slight difference.

Bit of a grey area this warranty thing,you won`t need belts to 2006 unless you`r a high mileage man.

1500 miles on the clock, it's had one service at 700.
i was under the impression the first belt service comes quite quickly as the engine is tight and it puts extra strain on the belts although a) this may not apply to the desmo setup. or b) i'm talking a load of s***e, does this mean it's not due a service
i suppose it could wait until i pick it up and check out the service book but i'm sitting here twiddling my thumbs (slooww week) till friday. can anyone throw some light on the eary service intervals so i can book it in if needs be, Ta

sparkin, necton's just up the road from me, if i'm not working i'll bring me lance
