Re Ducati diagnostic isn't just the service light. The box control other stuff like CO2 trim and TPS. Will also show any past errors logged etc.
Pro Team did insisted on having the bike cold to check/adjust valves clearance and presumably the shims as well. It's unbelievable for a dealer to charge just £350 all in, they must be super efficient. One dealer told me that the quoted labour hours are quite conservative and an experienced technician can complete the service in less time.

I already fitted the O2 eliminator so there's always a light on upon start up, the dealer told me not to worry about it. Guess it's a low tech engine so hopefully any apparent fault will manifest itself....

Going with Pro team as the savings are too hard to ignore....
