Annual service extravaganza in 17 days

Hi all,

the bike is V4 2020 and on Sunday upon turning the key i got the message on the board that im 17 days away from annual service.

Now the thing happens to fall in mid October, the oil has 8000 km until change and even with global warming im probably going to ride the bike in October and February maybe no more than 600-700km at an moderate pace.

However im worried that the bike may go into some "mode" you know if i don't service her (i realize how it sounds )

Like: "I wont go out of the garage" mode.

Or: "Ride me and die" mode.

Or even: "Saving on service you post ......... country cheap ......., now you have to change the camshaft to learn your lesson that you have to PAY" mode.

You see, is it an issue if i delay service for a few months and change the oil in the spring.
And what the "service" actually includes besides oil change.

Thank you!

P.S. Its not about the Desmo service.
 
you know, i just got me a 2020 V4 and was chatting with my buddy mech about the annual service. He said its just a check bolts everywhere kinda thing, and oil service....He recommened i just skip it, do the checks myself, and he'll reset everything during the 15K desmo service...

If the light bothers you, youll need to get ducati to reset it...some shops charge 1hr for that service.

there is no limp mode, or change to bike with that service light on

I would suggest buying a OBD tool. A lot of us on here own the OBDstar which is really useful and not too expensive. Then you can reset it yourself and given the complexity of these useful as a troubleshooting tool.
