All,
I am US based and I am facing a delima on what to do.
I have to perform some service to the bike and I need to buy some equipment in order to do so, but I am not sure what to get. Here is a list of what needs to get done on the bike.
1. Troubleshoot P0105 H and V MAP sensor code. Inspect and possibly replace MAP sensors.
2. Troubleshoot exhaust valve and clean exhaust from outside [since it has gotten dirty, needs to come off.]
3. Inspect and replace clutch if necessary.
4. Replace clutch slave cylinder and bleed lines.
5. Replace dashboard screen. [screen cracked due to glove knuckles accidentally hitting it.]
6. Replace tires.
7. Inspect and replace chain if necessary.
8. Replace oil.
9. Remove engine side cover and inspect waterpump gears and replace if necessary.
10. Check air filter and replace/clean if necessary.
Now, I plan on doing all of these items in the next 2-3 months slowly and steadily tackling one problem at a time. Possibly tackling multiple things if they are easier to get to during the process.
My bike usually rests on the side stand in the garage but now I think I am getting to the point when I feel like I need a stand or a lift.
What seems like a better option?
The ducati paddock rear stand is around $300.00 or I can just buy a 1000lb motorcycle lift from harbor freight for $450.
Last time I took it to a shop to fix a bunch of things, it cost me a pretty penny so I decided to just work on it myself on my time. And because of this current pandemic, it seems like it might be the logical thing to do.
What would yall do? Most of these items can even be done without a stand but I feel like getting a lift in the garage might make it more fun to work on and possibly be comfy since I wont have to sit down on the floor and wrench on the bike.
