Hi all,
So a year after buying my Multistrada V4 (non S), my remote preload adjuster became loose. This caused the hydraulic line to rub through against the rear shock. I eventually had the shock repaired through 'specialists' in CPT. This was egregiously expensive for what I now know is only a hydraulic line and bleeding a remote preload adjuster. Ducati tax I guess...
Anyway, a few months later (less 1k km), exact same thing happened again. Now I can clearly see that the hydraulic line is simply too long.
Who do I contact in Pretoria/Gauteng to create a new hydraulic line and refill/bleed the remote preload adjuster?
Without wanting to go through the same people, I decided to finally fix the stripped bolts in my frame myself. Luckily the sub-frame is steel, and you can remove the two halves separately.
Faktap:
Helicoils installed:
Adjuster attached again with a rubber between. I will add some locktite in final fitment. Here you can also see the 'droop' in the line.
