The fact they're quieter has nothing to do with Ducati using them though surely?? Since my 748's the loudest bike I've owned and thats before I debaffled it.

Also I don't see cars having to have the belts serviced every 6K??

I've no problem with it but just can't understand why even the most recent 749's/999's continue to use belts??

All the service items listed sound very much the same as what would be done on a Jap bike?? Is it the service interval for the bigger jobs that's shorter?
