2Year 8,000 miles service 749 Dark..
 

What should i be paying for this service and what do you recommend on having done at this mileage then guys and gals?

Belts, oils filters, valve clearances? should i be looking at new chain and sprockets in general wear and tear? brakes pads/discs?

Cheers :)

you should have everything in the schedule done, I personally have belts done every service...

anything else is optional and depends on whether thay need doing ... no real rule there ...

as for price, best call one ducati dealer (JHP etc ...), one authorised service centre (Cornerspeed, PRO V Moto rapido etc ..) and then a true independent ....


edited for Wilf, cos I'm thick ....

oh, one more thing, if this is on its 2nd birthday go down the Dealer or Authorised route as it will make any potential warranty work far easier ....

i had my two year service done at corner speed about a month ago,,,what a fantastic job neil did,,he went over the bike with a fine tooth comb ,,well pleased

It's just over its 2 yr mark so the warranty has now expired, i was thinking specialist route however Ducati Leeds have reduced their labour rates recently and have been good to me in the past, i would quite like them to maintain it's full history. Just wondering if it is "that" much more expensive to have them do it rather than a specialist.

I'll have a gander at the service schedule was justwondering if with experience ppl might be able to point me in the right direction

well get a quoe from Ducati Leeds and then from Cornerspeed (Nottingham) then compare .... easy :)

Mines well out of warrant but I ship it to Cornrspeed each year ....... from London !!! That aybe tells you a little ...

If you've only done 8000 miles in 2 years (service is based on 12000)

Then i'd suggest you get the 2 year service done, excluding the fork oil change, most reputable dealers would recommend this to be honest. the fork oil doesnt need doing until 12k min more like 15k if its used just on the road.

this will save you a fair chunk as its labour intensive to have the forks refreshed.

Also depends when it was last serviced. if you had the valve clearances done at 6000 miles then you wont need them done again until 12000, not dependand on time, so you could get this done at the next service.

Ths big serivce (without fork refresh) is about £500 inc parts, with your DSC discount.

You need to discuss it with the mechanic who will work on your bike so you can go through what will be done and get a price. dont just book in for a 'full service' (at full price!)

hope it helps.

PS DIBBLE we (Moto Rapido) are authorised dealers have been for nearly 2 years.

whoops .. sorted .... :) see my earlier post :)

Will have to ring round i guess to see what the differnce is, i mean if i know i'll get quality service at DL and it only costs a negligible amount more, taking into account a 10 mile trip to get there, then travelling 100's of miles and spending a whole day waiting round doesnt seem worth it to have a specialist do it.. i think :)

Hi,

I ask the same kind of question a few days ago. I'm taking my 999r to JHP/Ducati Coventry as they are doing the belt service and are also fitting me a free datatool alarm together with free collection and delivery.

According to their web site you could have either the alarm or a GPS speed camera detector!!

Hope this helps you!!
