15000 mile service - hint to diagnostic / service reset tool

Ducati Forum

Help Support Ducati Forum:

From what the techs told me it was only if they were out of spec and had to be shimmed and it was only the intakes I believe. If they were in spec it was no need to completely disassemble the bike.
 
Yeah, Ducati really scummed it (their marketing) up big time when the 1199 came around.

"Yeah, major service intervals are now TWICE what the used to be!" Fine print: but, get ready to lube up your ....... when going in for that two times + priced $2,000+ service. Once my R comes around that mileage I'm selling it and by that time I'll be picking up a 2015/2016 Corvette and saying seeya to Ducati. Ducati is out of their ....... mind with their absurd service costs.
 
you guys should be happy....if you go back to the old superbikes....a major service was every 6k miles....im not worried about the 15k....no biggie....especially knowing what desmo owners had to pay for their major services....im also sure this 1199 SL will have people not wanting to ride at all with their service prices lmao...but at the end of the day....exotic machinery comes with a price tag....same story for exotic vehicles as well

Third. Multistrada and two 1199's, but who's counting.

Clearly I'm insane continuing to buy Ducati's but they're just so ....... beautiful. And now today while on a 200 mile ride with some guys I lost the left side DP Aluminum mirror block-off from my R :mad::mad::mad: My fault though, dumb .... me forgot to put some blue Loctite
 
My Tecnomotor diagnostic tool definitely resets the maintenance message. Also, Ducati cannot dictate, in the US, that a dealer do the service as an adjunct to the warranty.

I'll post up a DIY when I get there.....which will be a while since my bike is at 4k miles after a year of use. I do have the manual and most of the required tools, though I'll have to acquire a 6mm valve collet tool for the intakes if any of them need adjustment. EMS have made one for about two years, now.

You can take this with a big or small grain of salt as you wish...but "my" Ducati guy says valve jobs can be left until 30000 easily..he said all he checks out at 15000 are within spec any way....

Hopefully in the next few years as more of us reach the 15k mark, we'll get some testimonials about the valves staying in spec. That might help some push the service off a little given the high cost.

Can you tell us what tecnomotor system you are using and how to do the reset before you get to the 15k service? I am very interested in finding a way to avoid the crazy prices these dealers are charging by doing all the work myself.

Can it be cancelled with TB or Rexxer ?

Not familiar with either one of those systems. Can you elaborate in another thread or send me a PM? I am very interested in getting away from the dealer service.

Looks like Desmo Time VDST isn't going to be available for the Panigale anytime soon. I know he is back from his deployment but have not heard anything about him working on the system.
 
I believe Cloner is talking about the Socio 390. It's very user friendly but it does not do everything like the DDS.
 
I got rid of my oil service light a couple days ago after I changed the oil for my 7,500 service. I have a scanner/software that allows me to do so, and also has the option to delete the 15,000 light and read/delete check engine lights and a couple more features like reset throttle and other stuff

Scanner Cost: about $60

Can you please post details

I would be interested but the major service would still get ducati to do as people that buy ducatis here only want it if it has service records.
 
Please post up a link or any details. Regardless of what others what to do, I would like to be able to clear codes and read other things like I do with my Audi using a VAG Com tool from Ross-Tech.
 
For the ones interested in being able to check out/delete errors, reset service lights and reset throttle and a couple other things here are the details:

This actually WORKS! I have done it on my bike (2013 1199) but you have to make sure you buy the right stuff:

You need to buy a cable that transforms the bike's 4 pin connector (under passenger seat) to 16 pin OBDII, then also an OBDII scanner (for cars).. then download and register the free software and you are set!

The ELM327 1.4 USB OBDII scanner has to have the FTDI FT232RL chip:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ELM327-USB-...940291?hash=item3607ca6b83:g:ChgAAOSwdzVXvgoG
Price is around $20


The 4 to 16 pin you buy it from an UK website called lonelec:
http://lonelec.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=61&search=4+pin+ducati
Price $20ish shipped (dont remember exactly)

And the software is MelcoDiag:
Download/registration and info can be found here (if you have questions you can register in their forum and they usually reply pretty fast):
http://jpdiag.akress.com/
(its the software at the very bottom of the screen for the bikes with Mitsubishi ECU)
Price FREE! - I use it with Windows 7 64 bit
