  1. 749s new owner , in process of buying 2003 749s , paid deposit , but read on internet the 2003 model was a bit troublesome !!! it only has 6300 miles on clock full history , am i in for headaches ?
     
  2. Welcome Dave - never had one but what you heard? :)
     
  3. Welcome. Can't help with the bike I'm afraid.
     
  4. Dont worry. Theyre pretty trouble free........ for a ducati.

  5. fuel injection wasnt quite right , underpowered , 2004 on model much improved !
     
  6. be careful what you read on the internet. Welcome and enjoy.
     
  7. That's just a list of characterful features....
    Welcome!
     
  8. welcome anyway Dave :)
     
  9. Welcome aboard, good choice of bike, that's exactly what I have, its not been troublesome as I've upgraded things before they broke, in my budget I set per month, if you do nothing in the way of maintenance you expect to get a unbudgeted bill?
    First on your list should be:-
    Oil change
    Tps reset
    Chain tension or replace with 14/42 sprocket kit (makes cor much nicer ride)
    Suspension set up to your weight (approx. £50)
    Change the tyres out for YOUR type of riding, a wrong tyres for the wrong purpose makes a shite to ride.

    Have fun and keep us up to date with your experiences
