SERVICE YOUR MOTORCYCLE

Specialist Ducati Servicing in Brisbane

Regular servicing is more than routine maintenance—it’s essential to keeping your Ducati performing at its best, ensuring rider safety, and protecting your investment for the long haul. At Duc Lab, we take this responsibility seriously. With years of specialised experience working exclusively on Ducati motorcycles, we’ve developed a deep understanding of their unique engineering—from straightforward oil changes to the intricacies of Desmodromic valve systems.


Every service is approached with the same attention to detail and pride we’d give our own bikes. We utilise both genuine and reputable aftermarket parts, follow Ducati’s recommended service schedules, and keep you fully informed throughout the process. Our clean, welcoming workshop in Sumner Park reflects our commitment to quality, and our honest, tailored approach means you’ll never feel like just another job.


Duc Lab is trusted by Ducati riders who value premium servicing with a personal, independent touch—done by someone who genuinely cares about the machine and the person behind it.

Service Types & Intervals

We offer comprehensive Ducati servicing tailored to your riding needs. Our minor annual services include oil and filter changes plus essential safety checks, keeping your bike running smoothly between major services. Major services feature the critical Desmo Service with valve clearance checks and cambelt replacement, ensuring your engine's legendary performance continues uncompromised.


We also provide custom servicing packages designed for specific models and riding styles. Recommended service intervals: oil services every 12,000-15,000km or annually, major Desmo Services every 24,000-30,000km depending on your model, with valve clearance and cambelt replacement following Ducati schedules.


We adjust service timing based on your actual mileage and riding conditions – track days and spirited riding may require more frequent attention to maintain peak performance.

Service Types & Intervals

We provide comprehensive Ducati servicing—both scheduled and situational—customised to suit your individual bike. At Duc Lab, we understand that every Ducati model has its own service intervals and specific needs.


Rather than take a one-size-fits-all approach, we offer honest, experience-based recommendations on when and how your bike should be serviced. Our goal is to ensure peak performance, safety, and long-term reliability without upselling or unnecessary work. We tailor each service by considering your Ducati’s age, mileage, and how you ride it—whether it's a daily commute, weekend adventures, or occasional track days. Going beyond standard checklists, we deliver truly personalised care that reflects the way you use your machine.


Every bike is treated with respect and precision, and every customer is kept informed throughout the process. Duc Lab is a workshop where your Ducati receives the individual attention it deserves, from a technician who understands both the machine and the rider behind it.

I’ve been taking my Ducatis to Ash for a long time, even back when he was working at another business. Now that he’s branched out on his own, it’s even better as a customer—you get a more personalised experience with a mechanic who has years of experience with Ducatis. The shop is also neat and tidy; it really feels like a boutique experience.

Panigale 1299S went to Duc Lab this week for Ash to service and replace the battery... The service was detailed and price was fair... Now for more riding time as the rain retreats and the temperature drops...

I was recommended to duc lab by a mate and after meeting Ash I was very pleased. Genuine guy and great mechanic, excellent work for a fair price. Also was able to get me great prices on tires and parts for my other non Ducati bikes. After finding this new shop I won’t need to go anywhere else.
