OP: Are you sure that's for the second service? Here's from my dealer before I purchased the Pani:

the first service for the Panigale goes for $235.95 and the service after that is around (7500) is 232.28. The 18k would be around 900 or so, depending on what's needed during that time.

Sounds like the 3rd service you are referring to?

Chris,
I think your right. I think they looked at the 15k not the 7500. I will call back and see if they had it right. I sort of threw up in my mouth when he said 980. I thought the first one was bad but hopefully they had it wrong. I figure once I get the manual out and see what is actually involved, it will be more along the same lines as the 1st service.

I know for the 7500 mile service in the manual it states to inspect the air filter. If the tank needs to come off should we just have them replace the air filter?

Sounds like a good excuse to buy a race filter...

I wish my 1st service had been 235.... it was $341.48

I checked back and VDSV is still not even a glimmer of hope at this time according to the owner.

Any word on a service manual with torque specs that you guys have heard about?

Coming from a Beemer, I think the heads are welded on, they never need to come off!

That's not much for $400 or so. I'll see what mine is with my own filters and oil. I'm at 6000 now.

If it states as above "clean filter" does this mean the stock Ducati filter is not a paper element?

F..., you should see what some of the Desmo boys drop on a major service, I saw a thread a while back where one chap was out $10 grand for a service !

Expect service prices to go up as service intervals go down. Dealers made a lot of their profits thru their service depts and that source of revenue for them is diminishing as ducati comes into more reasonable maintenance intervals. I think some middle ground needs to be found on that. They need to be profitable, but the old dealer wallet-rape model isn't going to work well for them going forward IMHO.

I think dealers could make some of this back by offering some services like dialing in suspensions and other more advanced bike setups. I can't find much pity for my local dealer complaining about maintenance revenues dropping when I've specifically asked him if they've tried new gearing on their demo yet or gotten no reply when I've asked on dialing in suspension. It seems they just want the easy money, not to market other potential areas of revenue that are value based and require more advanced knowledge.

That does seem very high mavic. Do you have another reputable dealer locally or nearby?

I paid $270 for my 7500 mile service.

Ducati did just raise the 1st service from 1.8 to a full 2.0 hours...

AntiHero

My 7500 Mile Service (including oil/filter), was ~$300 if I recall (Toronto). I think the confusion here might be regarding which service is called the "Second". The second major servicing is at 15K, but technically that's the third service. Whoever quoted $1k was probably quoting that service interval.

I'll be at 15k in Dec., and will most likely be back at Newport Beach Ducati for it.

TYPE OF SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE TIME (hours)
OIL SERVICE 1000 2.5 h
OIL SERVICE/ ANNUAL SERVICE 3.5 h
DESMO SERVICE 14 h

Straight from Ducati

Oil Service 1000 is the first service.

They rec. coolant change and fork fluid changes every 36 months. The Desmo service is every 15k.

I believe they will even post a flat rate time sheet for customers so you will know what the actual time charges should be.

Bigjim

how much is the 600 mile service?

mig1199

Nope..stock oem Airfilter is paper. The Super restricted kind. I replaced mine with a BMC airfilter that is Cotton Pleated Gauze type...similar to a K&N airfilter.

Bike breathes a lot better now. Had my dealer replace my airfilter. I have 6,800Kms/4,250miles. We use kilometers being Euro version models.

Best to order the BMC Airfilter and when you're scheduled for a dealer service...have them replace your airfilter...

jdr racer

Thank you sir!

Hi, would you share why you're needing a motor replaced?

efna

??? I do almost everything on this check list before or after each ride.
