Bike Servicing

Please can anyone tell me what needs to be done in my next service. I've lost the book that tells me. The bike has done 5500 miles. And while, ideally I'd like to get it to Carl Harrison, I'm not sure this is going to be possible. It looks like I'm going to have to take it to Seastar, which is walkable from me. Sadly I don't have a great deal of confidence in them even though they are Ducati dealers as they tried to charge me a stupid amount for a seal last year that I was able to get for literally, pence.

Any help would be much appreciated. And I'll put my card behind the bar, later!

I resisted that one Andy, was tempted to ask if he'd tried Banham Zoo just up the road. :smt002

If you ask Carl he might pick it up, i know he's done it for other customers. If you have any probs i'm in L/stratton and could help out with dropping off.

Sorry - I'd missed this part of your first question.

Some of the things that need doing are listed in the User Manual and some of them are listed in the Workshop Manual.

..... Fortunately for you, Martin Poll has both of these available for download from his excellent website .... (and, like Nelson Mandella, they're free)

I was referring to the fact Sam lives in Fritton, GR in Newton and Phil in Stratton..

Only about 7 fields between 'em all..



Funnily enough (well not, considering Sam's my Dad) I went to school at Stratton..

Well that's been a learning experience for me too. I hadn't realised that education had yet penetrated those parts - let alone when Tim was little ..... though I guess that could have been like ..... yesterday ..... or tomorrow
