Keep Your Ducati Under Warranty

Everything you need to know to keep your bike under warranty when having someone work on your Ducati.

Upgrades, Modifications, and General Servicing

When it comes to upgrades, mods, and general service work on your Ducati, there are some things to consider regarding where you have that work done. Did you know that if someone works on your bike who isn't Ducati Certified, you could have your warranty voided?

So then, you might ask yourself, "what does it mean to be Ducati Certified?"

The easy answer is that a service technician has taken and passed all the proper exams from Ducati. It also means that their certification has not expired by leaving an authorized Ducati dealership. That's right, even though a technician had a certification, it becomes expired the minute they are no longer working at a Ducati dealership.

What's critical about having someone uncertified service your bike is that you may unwittingly void your warranty.

There are, of course, mods you can do yourself, but there are some that may contribute to the failure of the engine or other critical areas that can put you or your Ducati in danger. Think twice before taking your Ducati to a non-authrozied dealership or un-certified technician for those kinds of upgrades and services. You want a Ducati Certified technician to ensure you maintain your safety and your warranty. V1 MOTO and Ducati keep very detailed records of your bike for your benefit, and most of those records revolve around your service record.

TAKEAWAY:
To prevent unwittingly voiding your warranty, take your Ducati to an Authorized Dealership for mods, upgrades, and general servicing like oil changes, chain service, etc. 

Warranty Work

What you need to know about warranty work is that it can only be done by a Ducati Certified Technician at an Authorized Ducati Dealership. Ducati has a strict network of dealerships that they give the privilege of the sales and servicing of their bikes. In fact, they are one of the most strict manufacturers when it comes to authorizations and certifications. The biggest reason why Ducati keeps such stringent rules about service is so they can ensure your safety. Ducati can not control what unauthorized technician does to your bike, and therefore can not guarantee your safety. And your safety is Ducati's number one priority. 

TAKEAWAY:
Take your bike to a Ducati dealership that has a Ducati Certified Master Technician. That way, the problem is diagnosed correctly, and the correct parts are ordered. You don't want to be waiting two or three times as long for your bike because someone ordered the wrong parts, and your bike still doesn't run properly. Also, unauthorized technicians don't have the latest diagnostic software and tools to properly fix electronic and mechanical issues or have the newest information from the factory.
