1200 A New Owner!

Discussion in 'Multistrada' started by Teetheowl, Jul 22, 2016.

  1. Hello folks, been reading this site for a bit while I've been mulling over buying a Multistrada...
    (I have looked at one which used to belong to someone on here, I forget their UN, but it was in J&S at Doncaster)

    Well, I've taken the plunge. Got a 2012 Multi coming in a couple of weeks, part ex'd my Sv650s for it.

    So.. Please be gentle with me. What do I need to do, look out for, what's recommended by you guys!
     
  2. Welcome, throw an image up or two
     
  3. I will do mate when it gets here. :)
     
  4. Get the suspension set up properly, ride it, ride it again, service it on the nail and repeat!
     
  5. Cheers! Wanted a Ducati for ages. Went from wanting a 996 forever, To not being able to afford one, then.... My cake shelf round the middle and back decided sports bikes aren't for me...

    So..... Multistrada!!!

  6. If your local in the Yorkshre area, i would recommend Reactive Suspension, he set mine up and it made a massive difference, cost about £60 i think, money well spent
     
  7. Cheers pal, I'll take a look when it arrives.
     
  8. Only advice id give my friend is to use it as much for as long as often as you can.. You will love it bikes are for using as much as poss and think The Mutley..despite all its faults...is still the best all round bike that money can buy for the majority of people
     
  9. I fully intend to Paul.
    I'm waiting for a phone call on Tuesday to tell me when it's being delivered after a service.
     
  10. welcome to the hotel.

    this is the time when your ducati will be the cheapest.

    :)
     
  11. Stop it.... I've only just persuaded the missis to let me part with so much to buy the bloody thing!!! And it's not here yet, so she could put the stops on it yet!!! :)
     
  12. The big girl is arriving on Saturday!!!
    Can't wait!
