Wow. Talk about getting ripped off.
Yikes. Man walks in for 6k service on his Ducati, $4600.
Not saying they didn't do some work, but $4600? Ugly. 2002 Ducati 748s Titanium Edition

Rocker arm-probably 750 or so... flaking rockers are a known issue w/ 748's
2 new tires w/ install-350 Brake rotor-300 or so belt change is around 350 or so... ECU change was probably to accomodate the pipe/ad hp and is around 2k with the dyno time... Plus the other stuff. So no, not ripped off, but Ducs can be stupid expensive. And its still "just" a 748.

Why wasn't it under warranty at that mileage?

'02 model
Not saying that all the little bits of service didn't legitimately add up to $4600, but I wonder about that ECU change and the rockers. Seems like his only real performance mod has been a slip-on pipe. I'm a little surprised he'd need a new ECU for that, though I'm not familiar if there's some sort of upgrade to an "S" or "R" model ECU that might run that much. And flaking rockers are a known problem in all 4-valve Ducatis barring the original 851/888 series. Sometimes those can be covered (parts, though not labor) under goodwill. For that kind of bill, I think I would have been motivated to have DIYed some of that maintenance.

I can't imagine taking my bike to a dealer for non-warranty work unless it was some computer issue only they could diagnose. I DIY'ed my 12k mile service a few weeks ago and I think it ran me around $75 in parts.

Basic Ducati ecu is 1300 bucks or so oem and they fry if voltage is ever reversed to them...
Programable ecu 1500 bucks or so plus tuning time...

As a potential buyer, I'd be interested in finding out why he had to replace the ECU. Upgrade, or was it fried? I see no other electrical work having been done (like replacing the fragile voltage regulator or stator).

At $9000, I think it's short by exactly 250cc.

I have been looking around, thinking about getting another Duc. I had my eye on a 748, but I think I'll stick to 2V Ducs thanks.....
