maintenance cost 749s vs 999
 

just went down to the ducati dealer and the service staff told me the cost for servicing the 749s is abt twice that of 999 or any ducati bike. he said the 749s, and the R bikes are of race specs and asked me to consider carefully first.

any advice here ?

The 'R' models are expensive to service,but the 749S should be the same as any other 749/999.
I would double check with another dealer,if I were you.

thats b*****S should be the same'ish

dont get it my-self? the engines are the same lay out? some bike have titanium parts, but a valve clearance check is the same job ? whats the difference ?. oil change is same? air filters?. cam belts same lay out?

sad as there is only 1 dealer here in spore

Only difference that I know of is that R spec bike have a belt change every year were S and standard bikes are every 2 years.

2 years for belts

I belive the S has the same heads as the R, so need removing to adjust the shims etc:o

You sure about that???

I was told by the guys at Moto Rapido that "R" need belts every year.

I know my "S" only needs belts every 2 years.
