Hey guys,
I am in Hawaii and anxiously waiting on my bike to be delivered on Thursday. I contacted the dealer to set-up service and ask how much everything was going to cost me. The bike is a 2008 1098S with just over 3,000 miles. The previous owner only had the 600 mile service done, so I inquired about changing the timing belts (due to age) and the service guy keeps coming back and telling me I basically need a 15K service. He says I need the valves adjusted and won't quote me of doing just the belts. $1,450 too. I asked about Ducati NA's mandated charges and he said, "well, that's what we charge." Any advice? BTW, he's the only dealer on the island...
