Service light indicator on dash

dunf · 11-01-2024, 10:00 AM

Is there any DIY method to reset the service light indicator on the dash? I have a 2020 Monster 1200S.

I've spoken to a couple of garages, Ducati dealer and local independents, and they have all said the same thing - they can reset the light but only if they undertake the service first. I've asked if i can pay for doing the light reset without the service work and the answer is no.

So, whilst i get that garages will want the work, its not like they are putting their name to someting that they havent done (or are they?). I wouldn't think there is any record kept on the bike computer of who did the reset? Or if there is does that matter? Doing the reset doesnt mean they did the service - just that they did the reset?)

Its not like its illegal, or in any way suspect for me to do my own servicing. I've built many custom bikes from scratch so more than capable of doing my own service, but would seem that this is somehow prohibited by default by having an authorised user / dealer only software reset
