Doubled the scheduled maintenance interval with the 11 deg 1198 engine so they say.

Nice find  [thumbsup]

I had heard, from several media outlets, the interval was longer.  Hearing it from Ducati directly ends the speculation on how long "longer" is.

I hope they changed something in the motor. The 7500 on the wifey's 695 is pushing it, IMO.
If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

Reading articles smacks of effort.

11 degree overlap seems pretty tame compared to some of the other 4V motors

No fooling, the tamest one I know of is the S4/S4R/ST4s at 29 degrees.

I bet my lawnmower has more overlap.  I don't see how overlap affects valve adjustment intervals.  The valves are still opening and closing at the same speed.  Milder ramps maybe?

maybe the different materiels for the valvetrain mean less wear meaning less adjustment in the long run?

Note that 11 degrees refers to the valve center lines and not to the overlap of the valve event's themselves. . .

I guarantee this engine has more than 11 degrees of overlap ;)

It actually does refer to valve overlap
QuoteDoubling the mileage between valve clearance inspection has been made possible with the introduction of a new valve seat material combined with improved combustion efficiency and temperature management designed into the Multistrada's new Testastretta 11° engine.

So called because of its minimized 11° of 'valve overlap' - the interval of crankshaft rotation during which both the intake and exhaust valves are open at the same time

That is what I thought until I looked at the website.  I would like to see the whole valve timing diagram

Hmm.

Interesting.

Well. . .

With only 11*. . .

it's ripe for a turbo or supercharger [evil]
