What the title says. Please delete this if it's been done before here, but I couldn't find one. I was wondering what is the most miles someone either has or has seen on a 2013+ Hyperstrada. (not sure why my + became a ! in the title)
 
+ to a !

.. maybe it's the same software bug that changes a dash to a division sign in the official Ducati manuals.... ;-)

2013; 10270 miles.

I've seen way higher on some guys that don't post much...probably too busy riding. At least one poster on here hit his 19K mile desmo job a couple months ago.
 
I have a Dec 14 Hyper....just clocked up 23742 klms or 14752 mls.

Only real problem was the rear shock that had to be replaced at around 19000 klms. My issue is I wanted it fixed asap and it took 10 days (mainly waiting on parts).

I expect to see 30000 klms (demso service) before the bike is a full year old.

What failed about the shock?

The shock itself failed.

Coming back from a ride I began to notice a rattle in the rear end (thought I was dreaming). At home I got off the bike and put weight on the rear to see if I could find the noise...it became clear that the bike was riding on the spring and that the shock was doing nothing in compression or at release.

Dealer couldn't tell me what went wrong but clearly something inside had given way. Took 10 days for a replacement to come from Italy. All done under warranty.

Glad to hear it was covered. Still was a PITA I'm sure!
 
Anyone want to update their mileage? I guess I'm really looking to see people who have 30 or 40k relatively carefree miles. :)
 
43,000 klms this weekend - Feb 7, 2016. Bike was purchased in Dec 14, has had all the recalls and Ducati have serviced....only issue was the rear shock that destroyed it's internals early on.....but apart from that bike has run well.

Desmo service really refreshed the bike.....they did all eight valves and only found two that really needed any serious adjustment. I'm told that this was not usual. I expect chain and sprockets at around 50k and probably pads....

Should also say I don't use it as a commuter and ride manly in touring. Lube the chain every 500k and clean every 1500k. Keep it on trickle charge and have had no start issues.

Have to say that it's gotten stronger the more I've ridden it. Yes it was more expensive than the Honda I was looking at to purchase...and the switch gear is sh+t but generally the bike is just a joy. In terms of running cost per kilometre, and given the distances I've done the bike is cheaper to maintain that the published service cost of a Yama MT09 Tracer.

This is my first Duc and probably not my last.....;)

Got my 2013 working fine until it suffer the disco mobile syndrome...

It's now fixed and it clocked 63200 km before I stored it for the winter. Three other months and back on the road.
 
Mostly pretty good then. Good to hear. What do you mean by the disco issue? I thought I had a serious issue (which I posted about on this forum), but it turns out the battery had just died. Yes, I felt pretty silly.

I've thought about trading her for the bmw f800gs or the triupmh tiger, but I don't feel like either of those bikes would provide the same "feeling" as this bike. It's great. If I weren't paranoid about reliability then there'd be no question.

I plan to keep her for now, and I've enjoyed the last two weekends of riding. I really need to post some photos!

Only two weekends...I think you need to get out and ride a little more :)
 
36,000 miles on mine. Only had the bad coil problem in the beginning at about 600 miles, and had a blown FI fuse at about 30000 miles
Other than that no problems, and the best bike I've owned. Love this thing!
 
Digging this thread back up. How are these things holding up? I am looking at buying one with 20k miles on it already and want to make sure it will last a while.

Make sure the major service has been done, especially the belts. Mine's at 20k miles and is doing fine.
