First service at 1,000 km

The first service matters more than any visit after it: it drains the oil that carried the metal particles of engine break-in. Booked at a dealer it runs about €155, and skipping or stretching it is the cheapest way to buy an expensive problem. Here is what the workshop does:

  • Engine oil and filter change
  • Chain tension and lubrication
  • Brake and fluid checks
  • Diagnostic read-out and software check

What Hypermotard 698 Mono owners actually watch

  • Forget the old desmo service horror stories: the Mono runs 30,000 km valve intervals, though the check itself needs Ducati-trained hands and costs accordingly.
  • 15,000 km oil services are long for a single this highly strung; use the specified oil, always.
  • It revs to 10,250 rpm. Everything about its maintenance rewards doing it on time, not late.
