Bristol's independent Ducati service and
maintenance specialists, providing affordable Ducati
servicing to main-dealer standards.
Reduce your Ducati maintenance and servicing costs
without compromising on quality.
Workshop services covering the full Ducati model
range: 749/999 Superbike, 1000SS Supersport, the 748
and 916 to 998 Superbikes, all models from the Sport
Classic range, the ST3 and ST4 SportTouring,
Multistrada, and all Monster, from the original 900
through to the S2R and S4R Testastretta models.
An affordable, independent alternative
JHS is one of the few independent service workshops
in Bristol and the south west that have the factory
workshop manuals and specific tools and instruments
for setting-up the Ducati 749 and 999 superbikes, as
well as providing servicing for Ducati models using
the air-cooled v-twin motor. Our equipment includes
the essential Mathesis tester, an electronic
diagnostic device that enables us to access the
Engine Control Unit (ECU) of modern Ducatis and
perform fault diagnosis; identifying and clearing
fault codes that give rise to an amber EOBD warning
light on the instrument panel. And whilst JHS Ducati
servicing is offered at competitive prices it is no
less comprehensive or thorough; we strictly adhere
to, or exceed, all factory service specifications
and use only genuine Ducati parts.
Ducati service intervals
Ducati engines up to model year 2007 have their
first service from new at 600 miles. Thereafter they
require servicing every 6000 miles or 12 months -
whichever is sooner. At 12000 miles or 2 years they
must have a more comprehensive overhaul that
includes replacement of the timing belts. The most
recent Ducatis now feature extended service
intervals across the model range.

Warranty and service record
Our customers are often those with bikes that have passed out of
the two year factory warranty period and are looking for a
capable and experienced, independent alternative to the high
cost of main dealer servicing. JHS provide detailed receipts and
stamp service books, maintaining the continuity of the service
record for your Ducati motorcycle.
Timely servicing
Many riders are put off owning Italian superbikes from
manufacturers such as Ducati by a reputation for exorbitant
servicing costs. We'd agree that these bikes do need diligent
attention to service intervals, especially the large 12000
mile/2-year service that includes replacing the timing belts and
adjustment of the desmodromic valves. While the use of genuine
Ducati parts does increase service costs, our workshop labour
charges are essentially the same as they would be for any other
type of superbike.

| Thinking about
buying a pre-owned Ducati? To repeat
some oft-given advice: when considering
buying a used or second hand Ducati it’s
wise to avoid any bikes that are not
accompanied by evidence of regular and
timely servicing. Concerns about Ducati
reliability have diminished with the more
recent bikes manufactured at the Bologna
factory since the late 1990s, when a
stringent quality-control review took place.
In our experience a well-maintained and
regularly serviced Ducati should be just as
reliable as any other make of bike.
