I own a Multistrada 1000 with 8000 miles on it and did my own valve check at 6000 and all valves were in spec. Just have the dealer throw in a service manual with the deal.I once owned a Suzuki 16 valve sport bike which I thought was much more difficult to do valve checks on than the Ducati.
I think the dealers try to make the service work sound difficult to justify their outrageous prices for service work.
