899 Service

hmmm had first service on my panigale 1299 this week and also on my BMW S1000xr.. both at around 700miles

BMW : £85
Ducati : £245

going to read up and see what the difference was in terms of the work thats done

 

I did the Ducati first..so didn't know what to expect

If I'd have done it the other way rounds I'd have had a bit of a dive into all the costs

 

ducati pisstake mate , oil n filter prob cost dealer £30 tops , had my bmw s1000rr first service FOC, nice dealer , not all take the piss.

 

may as well put 10k miles on a year and get your use , gonna cost a fortune for keeping in garage ,

 

I have my first service with my 899 due in May-June, I am expecting it to be expensive as people always say they are pricey
I'm dreading it but I guess we did choose to ride a ducati

 

first service cost me around the £150 mark

 

My Scrambler Classic is booked in next week for 600 mile first service at Hyside, Romford told it's £180 piss take but I need to keep the warranty up!

 

Your all being ripped off by the sounds of it!

My dealer has a "menu" on the wall and you can see how much a service is going to cost you.

First service on my 899 was £120

7,500 mile service was £170

Both I though were quite reasonable compared to the service costs of the KTM I was running before the Ducati and they were due every 4,500 miles

Pete Keys - its sounds to me like they have charged you for an annual service there, and not a first "run-in" 700 mile service, I would go back and bang the table with them, if they won't refund money, get an agreement for £100 off your next service, good luck

 

First service was £150 I think

Second service I've been quoted £170 (not due yet)

 

Anyone know if UK spec 899 will throw up any issues if serviced in France at a Ducati dealer? As they only have restricted 899's at the moment. Wondering if their diagnostic machine might do a Galic shrug and say non! When the bike is plugged in.

 

Just had my 1299 serviced and can confirm I was charged £250. I called 3 stores metropolis, hyside and Ducati Croydon and was quoted the same price from all 3 stores. I think it highly depends on your location and whether you haggled in a first service deal when you bought the bike.

 

By 3rd service do you mean the second annual one (so 1st is 600mile and 2nd after 1 year) or is it 36 month service? as this will make a big difference to the hours spent

 

All depends on the dealers hourly rate, this is the checklist for 1st service 1299

 

Sounds like some "Southern pricing Cartell" definitely cheaper up north

 

First service is a con labour wise.... i work for a car main dealer and first service is half hour labour.... to say it takes 2.5 hours is utter b*******t

 

Scrambler 600mile service

 

Ducati Glasgow have the prices on their website

 

2.5 hours! Isn't the first service just oil and oil filter changes and minor checks?
