Interested in anyones ideas or views on the subject....because my bike is due it's 6k service!!!!

I don't know what Ducati say about it, but I had mine 'serviced' at a Ducati dealer while it was still in warranty. Now it's out of warranty I have just had it serviced properly by an independant Ducati specialist (Louigi Moto) and he's stamped the service book.
As for the work being done to the same standard, my experience is that the independant do the service to a higher standard at a lower price....bit of a 'no brainer' really as far as I'm concerned.
I'm sure there is an obscure EU regulation somehwere on this subject, but it's probably kept very quite by the 'main' dealers.
Just my two penneth worth.......
