I'm putting my '12 MTS back together, after doing the 105,000 mile service (not a misprint), and have been seriously thinking about a new MTS. While in Sacramento, on Tuesday, for the Ducati Red Tour, I talked to several folks about servicing the DVT.....and heard NOTHING good. Beside it being a nightmare to work on, there's a small screen in the head, filtering oil for the variable cam mechanism, that needs 'servicing' every 2nd service. AND to get at this bugger, the subframe has to be removed, or the motor removed from the frame. Really? Are you F'ing kidding me??? They are really trying to remove, guys like me, from the equation of owning a new Ducati. At this point, I might start looking for a low mile '14.....
