New Ducati Owner

Discussion in 'Newbies Hangout' started by KurtP, May 23, 2025.

  1. Hi all (thanks for letting me join).
    Although I'm no stranger to Italian bikes over the last 20 years, this is my first Ducati, a 2010 Multistrada 1200s which I've bought with intention of doing soke touring on (as well as fun rideouts and a little bit of commuting).
    Already had a quick search to see what main issues are with this model and what the best mods could be - but there's soooo many posts it's a bit overwhelming, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it soon.
    Any help or newbie advice welcomed
    Photo below - as you'll see there's a Termi pipe fitted and a tinted screen and I think they're the only mods to the bike from standard.

  11. Hi KurtP and welcome

    I have the same bike and recommend watching YouTube series by Just The Way It Is and Practical Enthusiast. The first will give you a good idea of the common issues and mods, while the second a an excellent guide to doing the Desmo service and other maintenance jobs if you’re planning on doing these things yourself.
