I'm as tight as a sharks bottom at fifty fathoms but i wouldnt even consider using non Ducati branded belts on my bike. Just not worth it, if only for piece of mind.

Hi John

I agree with you, I wont fit anything other than the exact same Gates belt with the same part number. However I wont pay twice the price to have Ducati printed on it. Its the same thing. I have seen my local bearing supplier today and he spoke to the importer of Gates belts he can get the same belt for £14 but it will take 4 to 6 weeks to get them so looks like they are comeing from Spain.

I wiil keep you all informed.

Hi Glyn

I dont know the Gates numbers for the ST2. So you have a choice of getting the numbers of your own belts. Or asking the chap I got mine off. I have had a look on his site and cant find ST2 ones stocked but i would think he would have them.
His address is www.mdinaitalia.co.uk
and his e mail is john@mdinaitalia.co.uk. His price was the same as quoted by the Gates importer the only extra is the P+P which is about 5 or 6 quid

That would be the 'low compression' variant then Shazaam?

Its a nice thought and all that but how many people are actually prepared to use non Ducati branded belts even if they do have the same part number? I'm certainly not.
Genuine Duacti belts for the ST2 are only £15 each, hardly expensive and you'd always have that nagging doubt in the back of your mind.

Interesting picture shaz but why no words of wisdom!

skidlids · 04-Mar-2004, 19:48

as they say a picture is worth a thousand words.
But if words are needed I think Shazaam is hinting at FALSE ECONOMY

I could not agree more, for the little cost involved it pays to fit genuine one's.

I still wonder where all the words are though.
