I've got to know the local mechanic at the dealership and they have agreed to take me back and explain/show and help me do a full tune up and anything else I want in the shop afterhours. Should be fun, nice guys, my new bike.
The shop has no dyno. Basically, my bike is 2007 S2R1000, 2000 miles, DP ECU, Termi carbon cans and the "will be installed" Marving midpipe.
It hasn't had anything but oil changes and hydraulic fluid changes since coming into existence.
My list right now included:
-belt change
-valve check
-trim setting
-TPS reset
-cylinder compression check
-fork oil change
-fork suspension setting check
-rear shock/dogbone setting check
-throttle body sync
-
What other things should I address? Should I not do some of these things or spend more effort in another area? Especially pertaining to anything I can do while the bike is hooked up to the DDS. I appreciate any input from you guys.
Throttlesync.
Major nuts & bolts.
Chain & sprockets.
Brakepads wear.
All above seems relevant to me.
I can do a lot of the checks myself, but the throttle sync was a good one, I forgot about that.
degreeing the cams on top of everything else could potentially yield great benefit, it's not difficult and no major disassembly required
What is involved with degreeing the cams?
Just checking, that's 2000 miles, right? Not 20,000?
Check the pneumatic fluid, I know I do every 200 miles but I'm a little anal like that.
Speeddog, 2000 miles is correct, it's basically just been broken in. Most of these checks/adjustments I want to do because I do not know the bike's short history and I want to make sure all is well as I go into riding this bike for what hopefully will be a long time.
If there are things on my list that any of you may feel are completely unnecessary and would just be a lot of work done too early on this bike, please let me know, it will save me money.
evoasis, when I got the bike it had a really funky fluid color in the clutch master, so I changed all the clutch/brake fluids since I got it and will keep up on that. I'm mainly trying to do stuff with the mechanic that I can't or probably shouldn't attempt on my own yet. I'm no mechanical master, but I like to think I can get more done that the average guy.
Thanks
I'd do them in this order:
-cylinder compression check
-belt change
-valve check
-cylinder compression check (Just for fun, to see if there's any difference after valve clearance setting)
-TPS reset
-throttle body sync
-trim setting
-fork oil change
-fork suspension setting check
-rear shock/dogbone setting check
have him check the cush drives on the back of the sprocket carrier. a couple (and i do mean very few) folks have had issues... including a ruined eccentric hub. don't get scared, probably fine... just make sure you take a look there.
I'll definitely check that out. Can you briefly describe what kind of things I could look for at the cush drive to identify any signs of problems?

Sure can. Check this thread out: http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=34425.0 (http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=34425.0)
Like i said, it's pretty scary business. Don't be too alarmed, I doubt you'd see this on a bike with such low mileage.
Just something to keep an eye on.
The midpipes are in the mail! As soon as they get here, I'm going to get the tune.
If there's any other nuggets anyone has a few seconds to add, I'd still greatly appreciate the input.
