Hi Chaps/Chappettes. Thought I'd say a quick hello, as I will probably be asking a few questions from time to time having just added a 1996 916 Biposto to the stable . Been riding since 83 (passed my test in 84) and have been riding non-stop ever since. Mainly into 2-strokes now but also have a GSX-R1000 that I've had for 8 years ! :grin:
Ooooo how lovely Hello and welcome into the mad house Ask away but don't rely on sensible answers all the time the locals are crazy :Clown:
Yeah I think/hope she is, all bar the Termis and associated chip (got std pipes and chip with it). It's what I call a 10 footer :tonguewink:, any closer and you can see her imperfections. Wanted one to use and enjoy rather than a museum piece I'd be scared to use. Just need to get a belt/shim/rocker service and hopefully be good to go.
hello and welcome dude... nice bike. used to spend alot of time in sth london, mostly at the bedford pub in balham
Awwwww :grin:. What should I expect to pay do you think ?. It's just had an oil & filter change and I'll be giving them the bike naked (but with petrol tank still fitted obviously), so literally just belt change and rocker/shim check (was done 4k ago according the the service history). Used Pro Twins in Godstone last time I had a belts done on an ST4, so probably use them again subject to a reasonable quote (I'm happy to do the belts myself if not) Cheers
Small world , used to go to the Comedy Club nights there quite a few years back, haven't been for ages though.
Yea been to a few of those myself but not for a good 6 or 7 years.. I would recommend Al at ducati proteam in strood (not too far from sth london) he also does a pick and drop of service. great prices and service and a nice chap to boot.
I believe should be every 6k mls so you could be ok for a bit. £400 for valve and belts? Mine had oil/filter, air filter, sparkers, valves /shims, 2 x rockers replaced (I bought them off a guy on here so only fitting), belts, fuel filter, coolant change and rear brake fluid change. Came to £789. That was a 12k mls service and I wanted everything done as I had no history with the bike.
