I have a buddy with a 2008 air-cooled 1000, (sport GT maybe?), I work on his car and he wants me to maintain the bike as well. I'm a pretty decent mechanic and have built several automotive engines, but I'm not familiar with the Ducati valve opening system.
Is it really a PITA? Any special tools needed? Do they use shims? Thanks a lot for any leads as to where to start reading.
