She made it home. A HUGE thanks to Robbie, Joe, Graham and the folks at Cyclewise/Ducati VT for the work they did on my 998.
She went in poppin and lockin like she should have starred in Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo. Chain loose. Fried (and I do mean torched!) rear brake system. Back/afterfire from hell. missing a bolt here and there...squared off tires....
Good times.
She's home with everything remedied, and Robbie was kind enough to go over every single thing they did, and what they recommended for the future. She still has a bit of a backfire, but that's an issue with the chip (DP racing chip), so that may only work out with a Power Commander or new ECU. They were kind enough to look at all potential sources and even help out on labor costs when all was said and done (as there is still some residual afterfire).
Work completed: CO's adjusted, throttle bodies sync'd, Cam timing, belt inspection/tightening, new rear brake system, new chain/15T/41T, tires installed, new air filters, new air box rubber gasket seal...I'm sure I'm missing some stuff.
I am stoked to have these guys as close as they are, and to provide quality service for the major work. I was informed of work to be done, parts needed and status of the bike every step of the way. This is a bit refreshing after my experiences in Salt Lake.
Thanks guys. See you for the 12K service, if not sooner.
