Nigel,
Where do you go for Ducati (Warranty approved) service? I, like Lee, will be forking out £200+ for my 999 first service soon as that is what my dealer charges (and advertises the fact).
Other Ducati dealers I tried also charge about the same and, as you can see from OYB's tariffs below, some charge more (£50) if the bike wasn't sourced from them in the first place.
This has always been the way for me in my 8 years of owning Dukes
Part of the pleasure of owning a Ducati I suppose
Just had my VFR serviced for the first time at 850 miles and it cost £24 all in from a Honda main dealer
BTW..............the advice I have received (more than once) regarding first service mileage is that 660 miles (1,000 Ks) is the minimum. Try & get more on it if possible but don't exceed 1,000.
