Hi can anybody give me an idea of what you would expect to pay for a 1st year service on a 620 which has done 2300 miles i have been quoted Â£220

where i purchased my bike (main dealer) seems steep to me after seeing what my mates have been quoted for there bikes all 600 sports of various types in all cases at least Â£100 cheaper

or is this the norm.
cheer me up someone there must be an alternative

cheers

Have you asked Italia Moto in Lincoln? They are close to you and their prices seem 'reasonable' (for Ducati)! in my experience, their service quality is very good.

Thats where i got my bike and the service price, looking at some other web sites it does not seem to bad, price of the 2nd service looks scary should i re-mortgage the house now is it essential the belts need changing in the second year even if you have not done 12k miles????
thanks for you feed back

Changing he belts is essential, the consequences of a broken belt you don't even want to think about!!! However they're something like Â£13 each and take about 20 minutes to do.

However if you go dealer rather than DIY route - it usually puts an extra Â£70 to Â£100 on the cost of a service by the time you add in labour and VAT.

I would say Â£220 sounds about right for a main dealer 12 month (or 6000 mile)service. A local (independant) service agent charges Â£150 + parts for a 12000mile service. It's the labour charge that pushes the cost up - main dealers quote something like 5 hours for a full service

That's a lot of cups of tea?

Belts for a 600 are about Â£13, for a 620 they are quite a bit more i think.
