Are you saying the crank main bearings are now sleeve type (bottom end rod bearings? Does that reduce friction? I can see the weight savings. I presume the insert would be a full circle not 1/2 like rod bearing inserts.
Thanks, Sterling
Yes. Ducati has moved (or is moving) away from angular ball bearings on the crankshaft. What also comes along for the ride is an improved oil pump (less drag, or more HP).
Look at a crankcase parts diagram from like a 2017 Supersport 939...

always interesting to hear about high km ("mileage" for you "mericans") bikes that are kept going by enthusiastic mechanically minded experts; is Ducati aware of you work and bike?

I did send them a couple of emails, but no response. It could have turned 199,999 during World Ducati Week and that might have been interesting for the PR people, so I thought. No WDW because of the Corona. Also, this bike is now very far from 'original' and that makes it less interesting.

You've apparently run out of kilometers and must go buy more

Edit. Is there an instrument specialist that can reset it or is it cheaper to buy a new cluster? That's if it is at all posssible.

Story to cheer you up.
My Tom Tom GPS in my car fell and banged its head. When I remounted it the device got amnesia and went back to the 60's! The device without any intervention began operating in miles and yards with an older style accent! True story. I've left it that way because I know both metric and imperial and because it's so funny. It must have had an auxiliary programme for the elderly.

SOS Diagnostic does it for $300 plus shipping both ways. Close to the price for new.
It really hurts to start at 0. Damn it, I have paid and suffered to get this far.

Tracfone is a cell service provider that sells by the minute...gig...text.
Run out, just buy more.

WTF!; … 200K and
that's it
! Like is wasn't ever supposed to go beyond 200; 200k kms and expired? send an email and let us know. ….there robust engines... right?
Ducati should replace that gratis!; Or send it in and get them to fix / reprogram it so it keeps going!
Let us know we should start a campaign to keep it going; 200 k is quite amazing!
