Full schedule
Intervals follow manufacturer-typical recommendations for motorcycles of this class. Verify against your owner's manual.
| Service | Interval | Est. cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chain Clean, Lube & Adjust | Every 600 mi or 1 mo | $15–50 | Clean, lube and set slack on the drive chain often; a dry or loose chain on a 200+ hp bike wears sprockets fast and can snap |
| Tire Inspection & Age Check | Every 5,000 mi or 12 mo | $0–50 | Inspect tread, pressure and manufacture date; sport tires on a bike this powerful wear fast and harden with age even at good tread |
| Oil Change | Every 6,000 mi or 12 mo | $100–250 | Full-synthetic engine oil and filter; this high-revving V4 runs hot and shears oil fast, so change at least yearly even if you ride little |
| Brake Pads Inspection | Every 6,000 mi or 12 mo | $20–80 | Check pad thickness and disc wear; aggressive riding on this bike can wear pads quickly, and worn pads score the rotors |
| Battery Test | Every 12,000 mi or 12 mo | $0–40 | Load-test the battery and check charging; performance bikes sit often, and a weak battery leaves you stranded or upsets the electronics |
| Air Filter | Every 15,000 mi or 4 yr | $80–200 | Replace the airbox filter; on the V4 the tank and airbox must come off, so most shops bundle it with the valve service |
| Spark Plugs | Every 15,000 mi or 4 yr | $120–300 | Four iridium plugs; access is buried under the airbox on the V4, so labor drives most of the cost |
| Valve Clearance Check | Every 15,000 mi or 5 yr | $600–1,500 | Ducati Desmodromic valves need both opening and closing clearances checked and shimmed; the single most expensive, labor-heavy service on this bike |
| Coolant Change | Every 18,000 mi or 2 yr | $80–180 | Flush and refill coolant on this liquid-cooled V4; old coolant loses corrosion protection and lets the engine run hotter |
| Chain & Sprocket Replacement | Every 18,000 mi or 5 yr | $250–500 | Replace chain and both sprockets as a set; the big V4 torque eats drivetrains, and a worn sprocket destroys a new chain |
| Brake Fluid Flush | Every 18,000 mi or 2 yr | $90–200 | Bleed fresh DOT 4 through both Brembo circuits and the clutch; brake fluid absorbs water over time and fades under hard use |
| Fork Oil Change | Every 18,000 mi or 4 yr | $200–450 | Service the fork internals and refresh oil; old fork oil breaks down and the front end loses damping and feel |
| Steering & Wheel Bearings Check | Every 18,000 mi or 4 yr | $50–150 | Check steering-head and wheel bearings for notches or play; worn bearings cause vague steering and wobble at speed |
