Interesting, Avila. Not quite sure if this pertains, but when I visited the Ducati factory back in 2012 I learned that they make 3 models of the Panigale: 1 for Europe, 1 for North America and (like it's its own li'l world) 1 for California. I know emissions comes into play, and maybe that's the difference regarding different "wear items".
Update: I just checked my Canadian owners manual (I photocopied a pdf several weeks before I got my bike), my OEM North American US owners manual (received with the bike at the point of purchase) and my factory service manual (P/N: LIT-11616-28-57, the same one I sent to you), and they all 3 agree to change the plugs at 7,000 mi/ 11,000 km. Australia loox like 20,000 km/ 12,000 mi.
It must be an emissions thing for the world of California, since they burned a hole in the planet's ozone layer. Best I can figure... [shrug]
'Nother Update: I jus re-read your post, Avila. California manual is consistent with my 3 North America publications. Crikey, maybe ALL of North America is responsible for the hole in the ozone layer! And here I thought it was jus California using too much aerosol hairspray.
Maybe that's why the dealership told you it could be several months/ years before they'd have service manuals. They must have to go through it and edit all the service intervals?

yes, almost every service is twice faster, probably the exception is engine oil at 5000 km.CA owner manual link

I can say that the plugs from factory didnt last 20KM for me. I pulled mine today at 13,500km almost zero electrode left. put in some iridiums so I dont have to pull tank etc off ever again
