Duc forum owners report the new Multistrada major service in the $1800 range!
Owning 2 older, air cooled desmodue (2 valve) SS....I invested in an EMS Ducati valve shim kit,
totally eliminating "chasing" needed shims.
Also converted to MBP collets on the older '95, eliminates the half ring retainers, which consistently get pounded...thus changing clearances. MBP collets tend to stabilize the valvetrain, *greatly* increasing mileage between actual shim changes.
A set of MBP awaits installation on my newer SS800 during the future 6000 mile valve check.
Hey, I'm clearly showing my age here, but I'm convinced more than ever the older air cooled, Desmodue boomers are " 'da bomb".
