Newbie questions

Hi folks,
recently bought a 1000SS & I've got some typical "newbie" questions. It's due the 1st annual service. I'm assuming I'll have to take it to my nearest dealer, Ducati Glasgow.

The service book doesn't make clear what'll be done for a service @ 1800 miles. Any guidelines.....is it fixed price?

One of the white nylon-looking clamps that holds the front mudguard on is split...possibly been overtightened....? Will that be replaced under warranty?

It's still running on the original Michelins. I'm happy with the feedback from the front & there's still 12/15mm of tyre not touched yet.
I'm using more of the rear, 6/7mm from the edge. The rear doesn't give me a lot of confidence, feels vague/loose when applying some power out of corners. The previous owner has used similar lean angle on the tyre so I'm not exploring new ground. Do other owners feel similarly?

Exhaust cans......want something a bit louder but I want them road-legal. Plod are targeting the areas I ride so a stamped can is essential.
What are the alternatives......presumably cans aren't a major problem but the link pipes......?? Budget is not unlimited.

Any help much appreciated.
Gary
