valve

So for a week I had played with the exhaust flapper valve disconnected under the seat (wires harness only.) I liked the way it ran, and it appears to be smoother in the low revs.. But during our heat wave this week 102F.. I started the bike from a days rest and it kept stalling gout as the...

I just purchased a new (to me) 2014 HS. It has a great slip-on but... it's quite loud. How does one "reconnect" the exhaust flapper valve? It still "sweeps" during startup btw, so the cable IS connected... But it doesn't actually seem to close the valve when the bike is running... I hear...

I have the bike apart to swap the belt covers so I decided to check the valve clearances. Looks like I have bigger numbers on every valve. Its been a stressful day so I am going to sleep on it, watch a few more videos and check again but it seems like I will need to do some shimming. The bike is...

I have purchased a Healtech ESE - so I can delete the Exhaust Flapper Valve action without getting codes etc. If anybody has done this can they advise where I find the plug for the servo motor for the flapper valve?

I'm likeing this bike more and more that I look at it and the initial price isn't to bad seeing as how you get a lot of stuff for that price. My biggest concern is how much maintenance will cost me. I've never owned a Ducati and I have done nearly all maintenance on my bikes in the past...
