Anyone had this done. Dealer said I should change them after 2 years. Not saying it's wrong just haven't heard it before.
thanks

That's what Ducati recommends.
The consequences of a belt failure are expensive.

Yeah...mine's an 07 with only 4000 miles...don't want to chance it, even with the low miles, so I'm going to do it soon. I asked all around and got the same answer. I think you're looking at maybe 400 bucks from what I've heard.

Yep just under $400. Just had mine done on my '07 at 3800 miles. Cheap insurance.

A set of belts is around $120 + or-, so just under $400 to change belts is a complete rip off.

Cycle-works sells them for $50 - I guess you need two?

When I had my service at 7.5K the tech said the belts were fine. I plan on changing them at the 15K service but now at 10K miles or so you guys got me thinking.....

All depends on your risk tolerance.
When I bought my M900, it was ten years old and had under 4000 miles on it, belts had never been changed. I rode it the summer of '04 with the originals and changed them out that winter.
