2010 696 12,000km service questions...

[loopsrider]

Hey all,

Does anyone out there have a complete list of checks they do on a 12,000km service on a 2010 696??

I've been an automotive mechanic for well over a decade and 25 years of experince working on bikes, so I'm pretty confident in doing the work myself (ie. valve check/adjustment etc..). The bike is off warranty, so I have no concern with pleasing the Ducati warranty gods...

I really don't want to pay someone to do things like torque checking bolts, checking brakes, lubing and checking the chain, checking lights, checking air filter etc....etc.... when I do that on a regular basis.

About the only real concern I have is that I hear that there is a special tool for checking the belts? Something with measuring the noise frequency??

and the TB should resonate at 70 Hz

Thanks for always helping out Raux


Looks like most of it's basic maintainance.

Probably going to try the Iphone app to check the resonance. The valve check should be pretty straightforward using the shop manual I have.

I'll have to do some research on the throttle sync...
