| Rockers Again Well, since I bought my 996SPS I've known that it needed a shim and belt service, was quoted between 500 and 600 on average from Baines (my local independant). But..... the dreaded phone call  '..it needs three opening rockers'  'but the cams are fine!'.So three openers, seven shims, a few seals, gaskets, oil, filters, belts, s/h belt covers (carbon ones were fitted with inserts, apparently they are not recommended as if a bolt drops out the inset falls into the belts - major damage)......£951 with labour. So, my real question is, what is Ducati's view point on rockers, they obviously know that there is a problem, but once out of warranty do they just shrug there shoulders  ...but, it's going really well now  so I'm enjoying it!!Ian.  |
