Self service and warranty

22-01-2007, 09:06 PM

I have just bought an s2r1000. It has 2yrs warranty, but they insist I have to get the service done by a ducati approved mechanic. Now I am mechanic, a bike mechanic level 2 qualified, half way through level 3 and one of the first licensed motorcycle mechanics in the UK. Did a trail run about 3 weeks ago for ATA/IMI similiar to what coggie do. We were invited to be the first people as they couldn't think of better run workshop than ours.

Anyway surely I can use my work stamp? Fair enough they don't do ducati's but my workshop is better equiped and ran than some of the ducati workshops i've been to by 5 times.

Whats the law on this like? Can they refuse warranty if I do it at my work?
