Good day all, Looking at doing my first service on my restored 916. This will include belts, oil and filter , air filter and general checks. I saw this service pack online whilst looking for belts. Would you guys go for this or should I be looking else where? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/18142260...UVQfWSJSQ-&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
I've never purchased from our friend Stuart, but i'll in the future and it makes sense to buy the spark plugs on their own away from the Ducati shop.!
Nowt wrong with Oem Ducati belts but they can be a bit spendy. That kit seems a bit pricey noting that you may not need to change the air filters as they can be cleaned & plugs are usually pretty long lasting these days if genuine. I’d also look for items individually as I located a set of oem belts (my preference) for a lot less than that ( they tend to be the most expensive item) & all the other bits would have still been cheaper than that “convenient” item. I also prefer mahle oil filters (oc5?) over oem as I had a few Ducati ones that wouldn’t seal until massively over tightened (poor quality control in the filter face tolerances)
https://www.ducati.tech/california-cycleworks-distributor-uk-and-eu/ I’ve bought my belts from here, prompt delivery 11:00 order next day before 13:00pm. I believe Stuart generally posts his parts out at 13:00pm. Everything else I source from my local motorcycle parts seller.
Fuel Filter Mahle 145 avg price £15 A lot of people recommend HiFlo filters HF153 avg price £11 Exact fit belts £90 Plugs £10 + air filters A lot less than £300
I bought belts, plugs, fuel filter, oil filter yesterday. Belts from Stuart £89.95, hi flow hf153 £7.95, two NGK DCR9EIX iridium plugs £15.98, fuel filter (Mahle) and new tank seal £32.99. Total less than £150. Go figure.
