I got my 1st service taken care of at 705 miles yesterday. I have about 850 on her now total.
No software updates since Jan 18th when I purchased her they said. The tech noted that there were a couple nuts/bolts missing that he said vibrated out that he replaced.
On the checklist, there is "water-oil exchanger fastening screws tightening check". He says every one he has check on all 899s were loose and not at the specified Ducati TQ spec. Just a heads up.
The tech setup my suspension for me, he said he has done numerous 899 for the UK race series they can be used in.
Far as my false 5th and 6th gear shifts with DQS, he test rode it and said it's most likely me not being positive enough when engaging it. Which it very well could be. ****, at that speed, I'm focused on other things usually lol.
On the warranty claim on my tank paint for the fuel filler lid that was missing (they have seen 2 bikes like that now BTW, mine and a white one), the dealer says if anything they won't replace the tank but pay for it to be re-painted. He says he will do it for me out of pocket and just get it back form Ducati later on to save me time. Sucks tho the dealer is a 300 miles round trip and he needs it for a week. gonna be hard to get a ride out there twice. I'm still for sure going to get it clear coated too.
It was all pricier than I would have liked, $394 total. They kept saying how the Panigale is more labor than the previous generation of bikes. They did have it back there for about 5hrs in their service bay working on it while I waited. I got them down on the price but I'm not going to say to what on the internet and it was only because the owner quoted me less for the service when I purchased the bike, we met half way in the end.
