Service costs! Was in the local Ducati store yesterday, and just out of curiosity looked at the service chart, and how much one of those 749/999 things cost in relation to 748/9*6/998 to service... It made quite interesting reading..... 748R 2 year/12,000 service around £600 749R 2 year/12,000 service around £860 !!! 999R 2 year/12,000 service around £617 998S 2 year/12,000 service around £570 Why is the 749R the most expensive of the lot I ask myself?:puzzled: |
Best start servicing ducati's then! Maybe Ducati stores think were all as rich as Vman, or that, When were not on our Ducati's were riding around on our pogo sticks. ____________________________________________ VIVA LA UNOFFICIAL, PERSONAL TOUCH, INDEPENDENT SERVICE CENTRE'S. . :mad: |
i may be wrong but i think it needs belt doing every year or 6k too, and i guess its because its just in a higher state of tune so needs more t.l.c. |
Ironically, when the 999 was launched, Ducati implied servicing would be cheaper/easier on the new bikes due to them having far fewer parts (cant remember the stats, but it does have loads less components than the 748/9**). My mate had a 999 in for service the other day and he reckoned there not as easy to work on at all...I think from memory a pair of airfilters was about £60 too..:o Nat |
Isn't the "999's are easier to work on" canard based on nothing more than "you don't have to remove the battery to access the cam-belts"? (Big deal!) <Nattyboy> I know Our Mutual Friend curses them, and doesn't like working on them at all, and who am i to argue with an expert? |
Reading the manual it says that the chain tension adjustment should be carried out at Ducati dealer.:o If I do it meself, does it invalidate warranty? How much cost could y' shave off if you took all the plastics off yourself? Or does the pricing not work like that then? Nelly? |
Just had my first service done today on my 749R, total cost including changing the front sprocket to a 14t was £44.00 This included a new oil filter and 4 litres of oil at £6.50 a litre Is this about the average price for a first service ? |
did you mean £440 :puzzled: |
No, £44.00 ( forty four ) |
Sorry twas the SECOND service that cost me that much, seems cheap as a genuine sprockets around £25 :D |
