Exactly!
That is why Ducati servicing is now mileage and/or time dependant.ie,600 miles or 6 months,6,000 miles or 12 months,etc,etc.(According to the warranty book)
It does'nt matter if you have done 900 miles or 9,000,if the bike is a year old,it needs a service to satisfy the warranty schedule.
BTW,On lower mileage bikes,some dealers will just do an interim service.My 999 is two years old with 7k on the clock and the last service it had was a 12 month/6,000 miler with a belt change.
