bladerunner 0 Posted September 29, 2012 well its sick again,got to go in for surgery.Had a bit of a rattle for a couple of weeks now so I took it in for the "technician" to have a listen to and he reckons its the camshaft rocker thats knackered.might be a bit of good news though,theyre going to contact Ducati on monday morning to see if they will pick the bill up.

Tony nitrous 0 Posted September 29, 2012 I owned a Harley.I broke it, LOTS!Never owned a Ducati,the last one i rode I broke 15 minutes into the test ride. Took it back with bent chain adjustersand the back wheel out of line.I had a Honda.I snapped the cam shaft clean in half when it seized under one of the carriers....and a CJ, but that dropped a valve.Had about 8 or 9 brands.I ride the bike's I do, because they are just about "Tony Proof"...

bladerunner 0 Posted January 14, 2013 after another conversation with the guy at the shop,they seem to think it could be the big end thats just started to break up.cant see that being very expensive,on the positive side theyre going to try and get Ducati to stump up some money as this shouldnt happen on a 10,000 mile bike with a full service history,if not its getting traded in for something else and soon.
