Finally have my Multi done. She's been down since December for maintenance and a few upgrades. Just got back from a quick shake down run and all I can say is HELL YES. The work:
Full Zard system
EVR 48T clutch, basket, top plate, springs, etc. The original one was slipping pretty heavily, this is a massive improvement in rideability!
Some tasty bits from Oberon; master cylinder covers, foot pegs, etc.
CRG 1/4 turn fuel cap....also a massive upgrade as the location of the key switch it a bit of a pain to reach with a gloved hand.
CompWerks LED tail light....another big one from a safety perspective. The stock tail light is super dim so huge change here.
Also did a full fluid change and Degsy showed me how to adjust the valves and installed some fresh timing belts.
This all took WAY longer than it should have....started in December which is pretty sad. Lots of work travel, baby, and an old ass property that requires a lot of work have really been a time suck. Regardless of how long it took, I'm super pumped with the end result. Just the clutch alone really changed the riding experience, I was really having to baby it off of feet down and couldn't really shift aggressively. The Zard system sounds amazing and the clickity-clack of the open clutch is pure music.
This winter will be an easy one for the Duc, just going to send the forks and shock out for a refresh and respring; I'm a few spring rates lighter than I should be and the remote preload adjuster doesn't work for the shock. The (well known) Ducati plastic tank swelling was an obstacle in the work I just completed, I did find that if you pull the fuel pump and cap and strap a fan to it the tank will shrink back to original size. I'm going to go through this again and send it off for Caswell coating.
I'm one happy Dad, if only New Balance made riding boots.....
