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 ?

Sounds like you got a good deal mate.Ducati Newcastle must be one of the few dealers still offering a labour free first service.Nice one.
I'm glad to say that Italia Moto do the same.

CMW at Chichester also do 1st service for the cost of materials only. They did for my two, anyway!

The 600 mile service on my R was included in the price of the bike , no charge

Shirlaws , Aberdeen

Duke Glasgow first service is labour free as well.........

£49 for parts was all i just paid.

They can't make a decent cup of tea though

Yes, it was no sunday DIY service, this was a Ducati main dealer who does not charge for labour on the first service if you bought the bike from them.
It included oil change, oil filter, lube,check belts, check torque figures, etc, etc and they fitted my sprocket free of charge but i supplied it.
Overall the bike feels more eager and smoother ( maybe in my mind ) and as it is the first time i have ridden it with the termi fitted much louder than my 999 with the termi fitted ?
The dealer said that the bike as running way too rich so they adjusted it to run a bit leaner.

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.

Dickie, yes that's true, but so does the 748R, so where does the extra £280 or so come from?
