7500 mile service.

[DEVO!]

I live in Los angeles, I just got mine a month ago and it was $450.00 I had one exhaust valve that needed a shim.

Paid about $685 (2 shims replaced)

But they SHOULD be able to.  That's the point.

True...but that doesn't really matter...they can't.

as long as they keep people coming in, they can still make money doing that where as i think some other shops wouldnt get bikes coming in *quite* as often(as that shop is in probably the most over populated parts of the US). just an idea though.

Nichols seems like a great shop.  They also benefit from being in a heavily populated area with year-round moto weather.  I'm not sure a shop which experiences a slow winter season could compete with those prices...they need to make enough money in the summer to make it through the winter.

my dealer wants to chrage me 600 to 700 deoending on the shims.  Does anyone know if when you don't have your bike worked on by a certified mechanic your warranty is void?

It seams to be a grey area, The Moss Magnuson act does protect you to an extent.  You do have to prove that all work was preformed properly with factory parts to maintain warenty though.  The 7500 mile service requires a belt tensioning and if it has been 2 years the belts need to be replaced.  I do most of my own maintenace and as of yet it has not caused any warenty issues, as my closest dealer is over 100 miles away I tend to try and avoid the dealer at all costs though.

Take a look at Nichols Manufacturing and see what else goes on at that same facility.
If all moto shops were attached to multi-million dollar aerospace machine shops, their prices might be lower.

My shop; 6k/7.5k service - $522/$530 respectively for wet clutch/dry clutch 2-valve Monsters.

That's out the door, includes the oil and filter and 9.75% sales tax.

Over here would be around 300 euros (450 USD) according to official Ducati price list....but this of course doesn't include Brake Pads, tyres....so the amount is bound ti rise ( still that you bring your bike to an official Ducati Dealer)....at least this is my experience,,,,
gonna work now!
