it doesn't seem any higher than another shop could potentially charge. The 3 valve adjustment isn't that much more difficult than the 2 valve adjustment and I'm pretty sure if they used OEM sprockets and chain, those were probably pretty expensive....
what was the itemized list of stuff?

Hmm, man I think I'll sell my bike to some unsuspecting person when it hits 12k LOL. The service will be worth a third of my bike's value at that point.

Not my favorite naked pics but I guess they will do for now.
Back on topic .......$2300 does seem a bit high. I am sure AMS would explain why the bill is so high if you asked.
I feel a bit silly complaining about my $240.00 fuel filter bill from them now

Today, AMS Dallas handed me a bill for $1,900 for a 12K service and replacing both sprockets and the chain on my 2006 ST3. Seemed a little high to me. What do you think?
Pura vida!

$1900.
Including $20 (each) sparkplugs.
Including f/r sprockets and chain.
That's the entire bill, parts, labor and tax.
Something's wrong. I don't mean their math. I mean their moral compass don't point North. Know wut I mean, Vern?
The guy there (Dallas) tried to explain it to me by reading me the parts list. I had to explain that I actually DID get far enough in school to be able to read the piece of paper myself. Without moving my lips.

20 bucks a plug is actually correct if they're using the OEM champion plugs, which i assume they are... still sucks that you had to pay so much of course

I know that's a s#@tload of money for a service but I would like to think at least it was done correctly. If that is any solace. I have nothing personally against either the Plano or Ft.Worth Ducati dealers but I have heard troubling stories about both when it comes to service. I've certainly heard pregnant dogy remarks about AMS too but I certainly think they are the lesser of three evils. And by evil I mean expensive. And I believe the comments about AMS has been about money and service time, not major screw ups. Since Stuart left AMS that has certainly hurt service turn around time. Having one of the best Ducati techs in the country that has been with you for years and years leave your dealership has got to hurt and effect your service department. And the $100/hour labor rate isn't real user friendly either. If it makes you feel any better I would be extremely happy to trade your ST3 bill for my 916SPS bills... yes that would be plural, not just one big bill. And no. I'm not rich either.
It's not like we didn't know any better when we bought Ducatis. A Ferrari isn't a Toyota Corrolla and neither are the service bills. That's why I love my much maligned Japanese Superbikes. Gas em up, ride the s#@t out of them, wear out the tires, replace tires, refill gas tank and go! Only time they go to the dealer is once a year for new inspection stickers.

and i have little doubt that $1900 gets you a good service...but, it's a service. it's not like they're going over the bike to set it up for uber track performance. all i know is when my SS needs the normal service stuff, i'm going to be looking at either jim sabin, or randy, or richD (if i can come up with enough beer and bacon). i can only imagine what the bills for routine service will be on a bike with 33k+ miles. even if it was *just* $1k, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to spend 1/4 the value of the bike on a valve and belt service. i may as well just sell it and look for the next set of wheels, imo. i love my bike, but not enough to make me bad at math.
