>What are the most common repairs/maintenance that people bring their bikes in for?
The most common repairs and maintenance that people bring their bikes in for are just general maintenance like oil changes, tires and brake flush. the uncommon ones are valve checks (like desmo) and timing belt changes on certain ducatis. Majority of these common services are usually done on adventure bikes like r1250gs that gets ridden all year round. The most common issue with bikes coming out of storage are usually bad fuel and dead fuel pump. Use those fuel stabilizer if you dont plan on touching your bike for longer than 4 months, they do help.
>Have you ever done a desmo service on a Ducati 999?
yes, desmo services is pretty simple. just gotta get the tank off and youll have access to the rear head. As i can recall, you need to remove the radiator to get access to the front head. Then youll be able to measure the closer/opener gaps. Im going to tell you right now, ive never come across a desmoservice where i never have change the shims :(
Changing the belts are easy as long as you have a way to lock the cams and the crank. We have the ducati tool to measure the belt tension but you can also download it on your phone. you just flick on the belt to give you the hz reading.

> bmw are pretty reliable, the r1250gs/a are like cockroaches, when i do a valve check on these, adjustment is almost never needed. i did a valve check on one running at 80k miles and it didnt need an adjustment. 1300gs engines are good, but im seeing alot of issues with its software. Dont get the 310. its made in streetshitting country.
