Trip to a willing dealer….

 

Dealer or an independent with the computer system

 

That's a '15 or newer. I don't think any indy repair man can reset it. The computers require a connection to ducati big brother in italy to work.

 

Depends on which system they have.

 

Yes it's a 2016 MS1200 Enduro, Thank you very much for your inputs. I live about 500 Miles from the closest Ducati Dealership. I guess I gotta plan a trip!

 

If the service is done but you just can't reset the light, it is not urgent.
It's an idiot light.

 

Hi guys, is there a way to reset the service date on the display? Also, what is the red and black picture right next to the service date?
Thank you very much

I think that's a battery light. check your handbook, but that's what it looks like to me....

My indy mechanic can reset my service light no problem, he can also do stuff like turn heated grips on and what not so call around and ask, it won't be that hard to find someone with the right tool.

Colour TFT tells me you have an S with skyhook suspension? if so when you change your battery (if it needs replacement) you may get the warning that the rear preload calibration is in action, just let it do it's thing, apparently it's quite common, mine did it too.

 

I got one also.
Gets distracting.
Sorted it today.

 

Can do everything the dealer's Texa tool (DDS 2.0) can do sans the software updates and I don't remember seeing an option for the heated grips but you may have to install them first.

Looks like these only support european models. Thanks though.

 

Put your clock year back by one

 

The icon is a calendar (service appointment reminder). I thought I had a battery problem or birthday last year when mine came on. Most everyone else would have used a wrench icon. Not Bologna.

 

The how to video on their site shows a service light reset “how to” that cleared the light

 

But you need their tool?

lol, yes, it was a tutorial on how to use their product. If I had 500 to spend I would get one. Im just about to schedule an oil service light/Desmo/annual reset. Likely will pay 125 just for the lights to be cleared.

 

Oh well. Let us know what they charge you, is that at a Stealership or garage?

Went to District Ducati in Gaithersburg MD. They reset "annual service", "Oil change light" and "Desmo" service time/miles.
$69.00 for the shop time. They didnt fuss at all, I brought the old parts to prove I did change belts/shim/plugs,etc. They didnt ask to see them.
Overall was a good experience, everyone I spoke to at the shop was very friendly.

They also mentioned they updated to latest software, I have no idea what version I had and what it is now. There was nothing obvious when I rec'd it back.

 

Stealership and will do!

 

Interesting... that's kinda the opposite of my experience there. I live walking distance from them and I couldn't find anyone there that would give me the time of day. Glad you got the lights reset for a reasonable price.

 

Yeah, I was hesitant based upon some threads I’ve seen. The alternate was to go to montgomeryville cycle, the service manager said they too would reset lights even if they didn’t do the work. With travel time that’s like dedicating a whole day for one simple service.

 

I'm in the Minneapolis area, the closest Ducati dealership never called back or responded (no surprise), the next closest one was scheduling for six weeks out, and I finally managed to get a saturday ride-in appointment at the one two hours away and they'll charge me $40 to reset the lights and activate the aux lights.

For a luxury brand like Ducati, you'd think great service would be universal.

 

Yeah, good customer service seems to be a dying thing….it’s unfortunate.

 

Hey Spence, What do you mean by "Desmo" you're obviously not talking about the valve service because thats a hell of a price if so! haha Glad you got it all sorted.
Norskie, What do you mean "activate Aux Lights"?

I still haven't gotten a chance to do anything about mine...

 

I mean the "Desmo service due" light. They reset it for me. (I did the service)

 

On my 16' Enduro, I could stave off the light for 12 months by setting the bike's clock back 12 months -- telling it that it's a year earlier. That works until it's two years later, and then it won't work. So you can get by getting it reset by the dealer every 24 months instead of every 12.

 

Spence, How was the Desmo Service of your valves? scary? any hints? Did you do the timing belt too while you were in there?

 

Not too bad really. Watch some videos, take your time. Take alot of pictures before your disassemble. I had to replace one closing shim. Installed new belts, spark plugs, coolant, oil, fork seals and oil, rear hub service, probably a few other smaller things along the way. I had all winter so I took my time. Probably have 25 hours in it, possibly more. I understand why it costs so much at the dealership now.
Next time I will be purchasing a shim kit, I spent basically $50.00 on a shim measuring tool and 2 shims. (buy one + and one - the size shim you think you need)

Also, 4 paint sticks wedged between vertical cyl intake cam and flat surface on head keeps the cam in place when removing the belt of vert cyl, there is no tension on vert exhaust cam. Also there is no tension on the horizontal cyl pulleys when motor is on compression stroke of horizontal cyl. (that is your "home" position)

And never mind the dot on crank lay pulley. It doesn't line up every time. The marks on cams are important tho.
I watched this one a few times....

 

I like the Ducati Wooden Tool, you gotta do what you gotta do, The timing belts are pretty straight forward, I'm concerned with the shims, I literally have NO idea about them!

 

Different motor, same concept on the shims.

 

I “think” I would find it more useful when hauling a pillion. I don’t recall ever using it waiting on a traffic light to change.

 

Also, I think the cornering lights illuminate much earlier than before…or maybe just my imagination. 🤔
