Bit of an update….
Took the bike to MotoRapido last Friday and I have to say, what a breath of fresh air they are! Nick the workshop manager was incredibly professional and helpful, as were all the staff I bumped into while there.
They had a really good look at the bike and after speaking to Ducati UK, it was agreed that the rocker covers and inlet flange seals would be replaced under warranty, no problem.
They’ve also weighed in new oil and sealed the engine so I can go to Jerez for 3 days. When I get back they will drain it out and weigh it again to establish if further work is needed.
While there Wilf the owner (for those that don’t know is also the crew chief for a BSB team running V4R & V2) He mentioned that they run their bikes on the minimum oil mark, never any higher, and that’s what he would advise we do in my case, to see how it goes. He stayed chatting to me for ages, he’s very technically minded and his knowledge of bike set up, geometry, gearing telemetry and data etc. was incredible, I could have stayed for hours!!
I’m much happier now after going to see these guys and feel reassured that they are taking the issue seriously. Let’s see what happens.
