Title: Good dealership/service dept. in the central US Post by: matmcd78 on January 25, 2012, 07:11:26 AM With the closing of OKC Ducati, I am in need of a new dealership or service department. I live in the blackhole of NW Arkansas. Anybody have any suggestions? (And yes, I have considered moving, but that is a few years away)

Really - you can [thumbsup] Title: Re: Good dealership/service dept. in the central US Post by: Bill in OKC on January 26, 2012, 01:46:04 PM I live in the blackhole of NW Arkansas. That is a dream place to ride a Ducati. We have to trailer over there for good times. I pass by the shop most mornings on the way to work. The shop still had bikes in it until about a week ago. Now it has a ladder and what looks like remodeling stuff in there.

[thumbsup] I love NW Arkansas - can't wait til this spring to ride the Duc up - have only done cruisers in the area - I think I may ride the S4RS up and back since no trailer Title: Re: Good dealership/service dept. in the central US Post by: WarrenJ on January 27, 2012, 05:28:32 AM I'm certainly not a motorhead, but I watched some videos and got a good instruction manual on doing valves. Took my time and it went fine - its not the big scary thing its made out to be. You need to pay attention to the details and follow instructions exactly, but its not hard. Give it a whirl!

I have learned how to wrench my Monster from what I have learned here. It makes me nervous not having a closer service department, not only for service, but for parts. Who do you recommend for OEM parts? I can get filters and oil locally, but have no access, other than the web, for gaskets, shims, etc. |
