Doh...I've just purchased a 20,000 mile / JUNE 2010 1200S...I'll be keeping a close eye on that oil! Snells have just told me it must be in their workshops by the end of the year (i.e. before 2013) if Ducati are to pay for the change of coolant. It will be in for a 22,000 miles service (circa £300+VAT) before then.
My coolants fluorescent green!! They gave me the container because it had some left in so I will check the make tonight.
Motul Motocool Expert = fluorescent green but the label from the back with all the info is missing..... of course!

Luckily? Mine is in Ducati M/ch for 3 other warranty issues so gave them a call & was told they'd already done it . Good service from the shop but i'm getting really fed up with the,seemingly,endless recall/update trips back there. Still love the bike but doubt very much if i'd buy Ducati again. I never had any probs with my aprilia or even cagiva!
a dealer in Sheffield, but don't think of going there because its up north and therefore very grim. :tongue:
Coolant changed took just short of two hours to do, the new stuff is pink. They have now decided that faint glow in clocks now warrant changing so another visit required
@quinny - what colour is the new coolant in ur bike? had mine done at 24k service and dealer says its the right stuff.....but its not pink! just wondering if they are trying to pull a fast one........ Will
The old stuff was blue, this is pink, bit like "muc off" cleaner colour This recall only came out at start of sept, when was your 24k service ? if it was before that and its blue, it would have been the right stuff ??
Nik I bought my bike from SMC and I know you take your bike there - did you have fluorescent green coolant on yours before?
