Title: $125 Labor Rate at Michael's Powersport
Post by: Vegasrider on November 03, 2018, 03:23:18 PM
Wow, jumped from $95 to $125 this month.  Unfortunately, with my Ducati, they are the only game in town for factory work.

That does seem steep.

Have you thought of Scooteria in San Francisco? You'll get it back in a week or 2.  Or you could try Zoran.  He's in town.  Give a call and I'll give you His number. And their is still Jay Avisano.  He's used to work and Honda when they had Ducati.  He's now working another job that keeps him our of town for months at a time.  He's pretty good as well. He has all the special tools required by Ducati. Let me know

MY phone is 775-560-6998

It took Michael's three attempts to diagnose a faulty battery on Monica's old FZ6 so about all I would trust them with is fixing a flat.

Factory work, scheduled maintenance must be performed by an authorized dealership.  They are the only ones who can reset the service light on the instrument cluster.  All the misc service, clutch, tires, brakes, etc.  I take it to Motosource.

You can reset the light yourself for under $20 in tools: https://www.ducati.org/forums/how-tos/59075-reset-service-message-tps-dtc-more-android-phones-under-20-a.html
