[Ducati] 12,000 mile maint for 900SSie

"The book says a 12K service on a 900SS is 8 hours,..."

Cough, cough.
8 hrs. for an experienced Duc mechanic?
Reminds me of similar stuff I hear from one of my sub-contractors when he recites his man-hour expenditures for certain jobs that my direct experience has shown to be far less.
Oh well.
Hail! the independent shops.

So here's my take... I have my work done at a top 5 dealership here in the
midwest. The book says a 12K service on a 900SS is 8 hours, that's
approximately $640.00 in labor alone. Some dealers are going to be more and
some less. Bottom line is that $700 isn't really out of line.
