I wouldn't waste the time riding the bikes then ;)

Been out on ours today together finally after sorting them. Fuel situation slightly better i think, good ride for an hour or two, but very warm here this weekend - high 20's.

Considering riding to town to grab my girlfriends ring from the jewelers problem is if I do then I want a chain with me and a disk lock but last time I struggled riding with my chain as it was so bloody heavy! I may drive as its less hassle but it's a lot more expensive as I have to pay for parking haha!!

Took the entire front off to fit a sat nav cable i only removed last year to sell the bike (but didn't).

Why on earth do they make these things so complex to add cables or accessories! Done now mind :)

Do you get an option where to take it or does it have to be posted back? Ducati Coventry are Ohlns dealers now I think. They have just built a separate room for suspension work.

I put ka 040 in and my serial number and still says it's ok.

Perks can you ask when you drop it off at JHP why yours was originally ok and then changed and if all KA040 are effected.

Thanks buddy and really hope it's turned round quickly being offroad mid season is not acceptable. Ohlins are a premium product and they shouldn't be costing you preciouss bike time in summer.
