BillG .... good advice but the 600 and 7500 mile service does NOT cover the Streetfighter...
I am referring to the recently announced maintenance program. Here is what is on Ducati USA web site:
What models are eligible for the program?
All new 2008 and 2009 Ducati models purchased from June 4, 2009 to August 31, 2009 at participating dealerships.
How do I know I am signed up for the program?
Your dealer will have you sign an acknowledgment form and then register you online. An e-mail confirmation will be provided to you once the paperwork has been received by Ducati North America.
What services are covered under the program?
The Full Factory Support maintenance program covers the first two services as outlined in your owners manual and include:
Service 1: to be performed within 6 months of delivery date or 600 miles, whichever comes first.
Service 2: to be performed within 12 months of delivery date or 7,500 miles*, whichever comes first. To be eligible for the program, Service 2 service must be completed no later than 30 days within one year of the delivery date of your motorcycle.
*If you reach 7,500 miles within the first year you are also eligible for Service A (valve inspection) to be done in conjunction with the 2nd Service. See your owners manual for complete details.
