Workshop

Ducati’s need to be serviced and maintained by experts who have the factory training, specialist tools, time and dedication and above all else, the same passion for Ducati’s which you have. At JHP Ducati Coventry our team of factory trained Technicians has combined Ducati knowledge and experience in excess of fifty years and is led by John Hackett, who has a world-renowned reputation for looking after Ducati’s! From our immaculate state-of-the-art operation in Coventry, we can offer you a level of service second to none and can give you the confidence in our ability to look after you and your Ducati which is unrivalled. JHP Ducati Coventry has customers all over the world who, simply put, would not allow any other company to work on their bikes.

Glossy showrooms are all well and good, but the real investment should always be in the after-sales side of the business. At JHP Ducati Coventry no expense has been spared in building and equipping what is probably the 'Flagship' workshop operation for Ducati in the UK. We have a customer viewing window from the showroom to the workshop so you may see how well your Ducati will be looked after.

Owning a Ducati motorcycle is the ultimate aspiration for many motorcyclists throughout the world, but who will look after your Ducati? From our immaculate state-of-the-art operation in Coventry, we can offer you a level of service second to none and can give you the confidence in our ability to look after you and your Ducati which is unrivalled. We have customers all over the world who, simply put, would not allow any other company to work on their bikes.

Dyno

The JHP SuperFlow dyno has applied industry-leading technology to motorcycle testing with the new CycleDyn motorcycle chassis and engine dynamometer. We run all our race engines in on this engine dyno after they have been rebuilt in our workshop. Tests can be performed at varying rates of acceleration, at steady speeds, at part or full throttle, to simulate circle track, road course, and high-performance street applications.

 

New accessory purchases can be evaluated with dyno-proven performance gains, or JHP can locate and troubleshoot engine and driveline problems to verify problems have been corrected. Dyno testing saves riders from having to use valuable track time running engines in, and gives them more time to go fast! Engines are run in to a specific schedule and are then given a full test to check brake horsepower figures.

 

Performance Tuning

For many years, John Hackett and the Team at JH Performance have been tuning and preparing Ducati’s for some of the highest profile names in motorcycle racing today. The list includes British Champions and two World Champions including Michael Rutter, Sean Emmett, Scott Smart, Dean Thomas, Leon Haslam, the late-great Steve Hislop, Troy Bayliss and Neil Hodgson. We have also supported some of the most demanding teams in the paddock including McCulloch Racing, GSE/INS Racing, Dienza Ducati, Monster Mob and Renegade Ducati.

 

However, you don't need to be a BSB or WSB Champion to benefit from JHP's expertise. If you are thinking of going racing or want to prepare your Ducati for track days or if you simply want to make your bike special to you, then JH Performance would be delighted to offer you advice, help and support.
