So I picked up my bike last week from Ducati, I had them install a full Akrapovic exhaust and the first service (600 miles service).

I rode the bike 60 miles since I picked it up from the dealership and the oil light just turn on... WTF

This is normal? What would you do?

If the oil light ever comes on turn the bike off and trailer it to a dealership.
Just incase

It just turn on when I was 1 block away from my house, I will trailer the bike to the dealership on Monday... this is so unfortunate and disappointing I just spent 7k on a 27k bike for this...

That's what I did. Learned the hard way that this is just the service light. So dealer must have forgotten to reset it.

You're fine to ride it. This is just the oil change service light. Connected to mileage.
Just ride it to the dealer when you get a chance to reset it that's all.

Oh I think you are right because the light turn on right at 622 miles (the bike only had 560 miles when they did the service).

I'm not... Ducati is making everything a lot more complicated now and they are not doing a good job at training their dealers...

I had to tell my dealer they had to call Ducati and provide them with the vin# of my bike and the serial # of my exhaust so they can send them the "performance tune"....

My dealer didn't even know there was a performance tune [emoji849]....

Nothing more frustrating than going into a dealer with more knowledge than the staff about their product they sell.

Case in point when I bought my s1000rr I asked if the newer models still had to have the rpm. Limiter removed at the dealer like on the early models. I live remote and it was a deal breaker if so. They told me from 4 different people the new model times out at 600miles and required no dealer derestriction. So 600 miles later guess what? Still restricted and stuck in juneau Alaska with no dealer. Ended up waiting another 6 months until the gs911 home tune program updated to the 2017 models and finally did it myself at home for $500. I was pissed

This is the problem these days people just treat it as a job, its not a passion to know everything about their vehicles/trade.

I knew when the R1 had a gearbox recall before the dealership did, the crossplane R1 has a bunny hop issue with the clutch dealership didn't want to know about the fix same as the starter motor issue. When the R1 was running on 3 cylinders it was a wrecker that diagnosed it for me over the phone as a faulty injector, two yamaha stores couldn't fix it.

This is a pic from the local dealership so ducati do train staff

The first service is 1000km or 621 miles. Your dash looks like it says 623.

When I bought my first Ducati my dealer warned me to wait until the light came on to bring it in for the first service. The dealer probably should have warned you about it when you bought it or the service manager could have when you brought it in.

Yes I had them doing the first service when the bike had 560 miles aproxima... they confirm they didn't reset the oil light so now I have to go there sometime next week so they can turn off the light.

I love the bike but I'm very disappointed at Ducati Corporate, dealers and service department.

On my 1199 the oil pressure sensor had to be replaced to get rid of the light on the dash. The previous owner told me he already had one replaced. It's 40,- USD, but very frustrating indeed. Just my two cents.

V4 is just a reset through DDS.
 
Here is the question of the day. I changed my own oil at 2225 miles. I have 624 miles on the bike right now. The oil service light has not come on. The Annual and Desmo services keep counting down. Why has the light not come on??
