Hi Kiddies -
I have a 2015 Hyperstrada. I am starting to do a lot of the maintenance my self. I don't trust my dealer. I don't think they are as diligent as I am. So far I have changed my oil, bleed my rear brake (will do front this week). I am ready to change spark plugs. It is having some challenges starting (hard starting) from time to time. I spoke to a Ducati customer service person and they think my plugs could be fouled. Ok. I just want to change them now but would love to hear about this experience if anyone here has changed or replaced their spark plugs. I'll be happy to share all my resources, videos with people here as well.
 
When you say hard starting - does it spin for longer than normal then finally catch and start, or sound like its struggling to turn over? Reason I ask is the starter motor is a fairly common failure on this bike.

Anyway, I replaced my spark plugs at 9,000 miles. You can do the front plug without removing anything. The rear plug requires removing the fuel tank, which is kind of a pain but not that bad really.

Always glad to have more info on the forum!
