My 1098 needs its 7.5k mile service (valve clearances etc?) and wondering if anyone knows roughly how much it should be?! Belts too. I’ve had a couple of opinions both of which vary greatly.
Thinking back to when I had mine done a couple of years ago... My total bill was around £1k but I had other bits done also which added around £450 to the service costs. That was at Italia Moto too. So @cookster's estimate sounds about right to me... If you use @Exige's belts and a reputable indie you will save a few £'s
Interesting....how would I order some? I’ve been recommended Steve Jordan Motorcycles as they’re not too far from me. Can anyone vouch for them?
Called Steve Jordan. An unbelievably helpful lady took down all the details and confirmed it only needs a service and belts; valve clearances due at 15k miles. Not sure why I though they were due at 7.5k. Buying belts from @Exige
1098 is valve clearances very 7500.... the 11 degree motors, MTS and Diavel are 15k. Probably won't need adjusting at 7500, but it is in the 1098 schedules
Just been quoted £900 from Ducati Coventry for the belts, valve clearance etc service. Feeling a bit wary now?
If you are in the Leeds area, Ducati john. My full monty service on the 1098 was £750 ish if i remember correctly.
Sorry to bang on about this... When you say “no belts” do you mean it didn’t include fitting the belts you supplied or whether it means the cost of supplying belts was not included (since you supplied them yourself). Cheers.
The current ones were checked and were fine so were left on there. They had been replaced a lot more recently than thought or was needed by previous owner!
