Bikes in at the bike shop for them to repair the rearset (footpeg was snapped after Mister RAC dropped the bike). Ducati 996 Yr2000. They're also quoting for a couple of other things too.
I like the dealer I'm using but some of the parts prices are eyewatering. Nearly 300 quid for a set of sprockets and chain, not including the fitting. Whereas I can find Renthal sets (front, rear and chain) for around half that.
Now I don't know much about chains and sprockets, but I figure I should do considering the cost of them.
I know the bike has 15T (teeth?) at the front, and 36T at the rear, and apparently I can choose a 14T for the front for better acceleration at the expense of top speed (I've never hit my bikes top speed anyhow!) - but there's also this 525 / 520 pitch option - whats that about?
What else do should I know?
Oh and while we're at it the replacement alternator is just under £300 quid, I can get one from the manufacturer for £100. That kinda bites.
