What's the typical expectation for the mileage when bring it in? How close to 600 miles do we need to be? I'm in the mid 400s right now and could be to 600 by Friday if I tried even just a little (it's sure fun to ride). Do I need to hit 600 first, or do I need it in before 600 miles?

It must be at a minimum 600 because that's what sets off the service light the dealership must reset.

Ah, got ya. Makes sense. Thanks for the quick reply. I'll give them a call and see when they're available to do the service.

I was told it's a 1000km which I think equals 621miles. As my service light came on bang on 621miles

Same story here, I drove mine this weekend and it didn't come on right at 600. Came on shortly after which was around 621 miles.
Same here. Don't take it in until the light comes on. I couldn't get in until around 800 miles. The dealer said its no problem. He rarely sees them before 1k miles anyway. Cost me $350. Kinda annoyed they didn't offer me a discount because I had to pay someone to remove that charcoal canister. Bike wouldn't start when hot. All good now at almost 2k miles.

409$ What state do you live in? my 600 mile service was 195$. It seems slightly odd, although i know all dealerships have somewhat different pricing seems like there is alot of people paying different amounts.
Mine was in the $400 range. I only have one dealership around here. I also didn't realize it was a 2 plus hour service. My Triumph was like an hour or so. But the down side was I had 600 miles in less than 48 hours. I went straight from the dealership on a 3.5 hr road trip and back up the next day. Wild ride!
I have a funny feeling the pricing depends largely on how close the dealerships are together. If theres only one around they probably can charge more. Just a guess.

Think your probably rite on that one. hourly service charge was 70$ here in Oregon. Deff could make big difference in overall price of work.
I paid $350 in ft myers. Next nearest ones are a few hours away.
Anyone have price quotes from the Bay Area for this service? Seems like I should probably except to pay around $350...
Also, why the need for an oil change so quick? This seems a bit sheisty in my opinion, especially when I plan to change my oil on my own once in each between each scheduled service.

There are a lot of moving parts within the engine/transmission that have sharp machined edges that wear. There is an increased amount of debris within the first few hundred miles.
It's upsetting that I'll have to pay someone a couple hundred to drop the oil out and turn the light off on the dash, considering I work in a shop myself.
I understand there is a list of things they are to check, such as pcm updates but I have my doubts those things actually get done.
I asked the sales manager specifically if I had to have the first service done at a Ducati dealer in order to keep the warranty, he acted like he'd never heard of it before and told me not to worry about it. Later that night I was looking over the bill of sale (on their own company letterhead) it clearly noted that the first service had to be done at a Ducati authorized service center.
I'm sure you can understand my feeling of reservations toward the competency of my local dealer.

A friend of mine at Ducati near Seattle told me $300-$350. I know its not SF, but I'd imagine the costs would be comparable. Ill be going in on Saturday and I'll post up my final price.

Just wanna share after 600miles service so i dont need to open new thread. Just come back taking the bike from the dealer.
They told me that they found problem in the evap canister. They already put order for replacement parts for it to come but for now they said, they done temporary fix. But the tech doesnt told me what kind of problem or what fix they done to it.
