Author Message   5dogs Posted on Sunday, October 08, 2006 - 11:04 pm:        Called the dealer to set up an appointment for the 10k service. Dealer said it was a 10hr job and would cost $800 labor plus parts. So about $1000 bucks. I about !@#%!#^^ my pants. There is no way I can afford that. Anyone had the 10k done?   Josh_cox Posted on Monday, October 09, 2006 - 12:03 am:        I think it is around $500 at our shop. $800 sounds way to high. The labor rate manual says its a 6.5 hr service on the Uly. Unless the parts are made of gold, I just don't see where $800 comes from.   Brad1445 Posted on Monday, October 09, 2006 - 12:43 am:        were you getting tires at the same time?   Rhinowerx Posted on Monday, October 09, 2006 - 12:51 am:        I just did my own 10k service today - all but the fork oil change (deciding whether to buy the compression tool). I have the VDSTS cable and software Taking my time, it took me around 4 hours. The most challenging part was getting to the rear spark plug - not that hard once you take a look and think about it a bit. Went ahead and installed iridium plugs. It's about more than just saving money... Cheers -Jack   Jlnance Posted on Monday, October 09, 2006 - 05:47 am:        I had it done at the dealer for $270. Shop around.   Rocketman Posted on Monday, October 09, 2006 - 06:53 am:        How many times has Ducati been bashed on the BadWeB for service cost? I rest my case........................finally. Guido, pass me them kevlar belts Rocket   Nutsosane Posted on Monday, October 09, 2006 - 08:58 am:        I've said it before. If the service is gonna be that expensive($500+) I'd take the bike into a suspension shop to get the suspenders properly serviced. Make sure they keep their stickers off though. A dealer charging mucho $$$ for service is gonna notice a way to snake out of warranty claims. NUTS   5dogs Posted on Monday, October 16, 2006 - 11:15 pm:        After the sticker shock, I decided to do some of the maintenance myself. Changed the sparkplugs,engine and transmission oil. Called the dealer back and they said it would still take 7 hrs and cost $600 in labor(Harley Davidson of Seattle), and that they charge for 7 hours whether it takes that long or not. So I am looking for a good mechanic in the Seattle area, I live north of Everett.   Routney Posted on Monday, October 16, 2006 - 11:23 pm:        Give Jeff at CyclPath in Kirkland a call.   Scary_mc Posted on Tuesday, October 17, 2006 - 03:55 pm:        $275 here in GJ.
