S2R800 2 year Service – London

26-05-2008, 08:17 AM

Hi all,

My S2R had 6000 Mile on it but it is due for its 2 year service. I am fully aware that this is a biggy and have budgeted around £500

and I am wondering where in London (and surrounds) to take it.

Also, and probably the key question: since it will be out of warranty after this service anyway (due to age) is it worth going to a Ducati Service Centre, or would someone like Rosso Corse (as I live 2 mins walk from there in the new development on the other side of the train tracks) save me money but not cost me anything in way of warranty penalties.

I have been down and had a chat with Ray and he seems to be a straight up kinda guy. And there always seems to be positive comments on here about him.

Thanks all

Steve

Unless your bike had an extended warranty it runs out after 2 years. In that case, you don't have to take it to a main dealer and places such as Rosso Corse are fine. There is no point in paying extra for a Ducati registered service centre if somewhere locally can do it more cheaply.

I can't vouch for that particular garage ( I believe it has had differing reviews in the past) but local services are worth something in my book.

I picked up a service price list at Moto Rapido a few weeks ago.
2nd year service low mileage (3k per year) £211.07, doesn't cover consumables I'd guess, so why does it seem to cost so much more?

I was just guessing at the 500 mark, as anywhere from 350 to 500 seems to be the numbers that are thrown around on here. And I like thinking the worst and then not having to be there
