7500 mile service isn't $1,500, that's the 15,000 miles service. And it is considered a "minor" service (just valves), while the 15,000 mile interval is for belts.The add says 15.5k asking price and the bike has 6500 miles on it. That price is 3 to 4K less than I've seen elsewhere but the mileage is more than twice as much as typical for a used year-old SP. Keep in mind the first full service is due at 7500, and that will be $1500 or more.
Must be your local dealers then. And I have a 1098S, which has the same service interval. The local dealers refer to the 7500 mile as "minor" (no belts) and 15000 miles as major (belts). A local race shop quoted me $1,200 for all the 15000 mile services, plus a fork service (seals, oil, etc.), plus K&N and coolant flush. They have a Duc mechanic on staff.You may have a different experience with your local dealers, but I've been through two valve check and adjust procedures on a previous Duc and neither cost less than 1200, with the second (15K) service costing $1800 (and that was with an S4RS Testastretta Monster, which takes fewer labor hours than an 1198).
Anytime the desmo valves need adjusting it's a major service, nothing 'minor' about it. For the 1198 series superbikes (not the Diavel and not the MS), the major service interval is 7500 miles.
