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?

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.

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..

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!)

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.
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?

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 ?
