IMHO, all you need to pack that's different with a SSSA from a DSSA is a socket tool. The spanner in the Ducati tool pouch kit will do the job in a pinch. As for the rest of the stuff, it applies to both SSSA and DSSA. Why would you carry a torque wrench? If you have to have a tyre changed, don't you think the shop would have one or at least a breaker bar?
I also had to borrow a very large torque wrench to remove a Multistrada back wheel nut when fixing a puncture at home..
That's why you pack a socket tool. First you said that you packed a torque wrench for touring in 2013. Now you're saying you had to borrow one while at home. I'm really sorry man as I don't understand your logic.
The eccentric pinch bolts don't need to be touched to remove the wheel You said: Let me get this straight: you had a large torque wrench for touring in 2013 yet you borrow one for home use? Now you're saying you need that torque wrench for pinch bolts that only require torque of 35 Nm ± 5% which is way below the minimum range of a large torque wrench that's required to remove the 230 Nm wheel nut. Unbelievable!
Just like to add that the display should be able to do a full red-background with white/black dial info. Instead of just the white/black inversion that they currently have with certain items in colour. They really could allow users with a little programming to personalise the dash display.
Good call. Essential? Probably not, but a nice thing to have. The new GS has a good looking dash. The rest is dreadful, but the clocks are nice!
I’d like the option to personalise the dash and change the order of items you view often. My preference is for: A bigger clock Air temp Range Trip 1 I don’t really care about fuel consumption etc
My GPS gives me a speed. Waze on my phone concurs. While Ducati tells me I'm going Mach 3. An accurate speedometer would be nice if it's not too much to ask.
The price is going to be the biggest problem. Anything north of £20k and insuring the damn thing starts to become an issue.
From what i have been told, you will order a basic V4 Multi and then add packs as you wish and one of those packs will be a full suspension pack etc. The bike will be delivered to the dealer as ordered by the customer. I cannot see the bike RRP being less than £20k in all honesty and if there is no trade deal with the EU, the price will go up 10% on 1 January as well to cover the WTO tariff.
