Not rocket science - got it!
I'm happy to pay pros for their skill and knowledge. I'm fortunate to have several very good ones near me. But I think there comes a time for the Ducati rider to undertake their own valve adjustment (if they are so inclined). It's not about saving pennies, but better understanding and appreciating the machine. For me the wrenching and riding go hand in hand and it's a good thing.

It's a fairly straightforward process.
Also, be aware when fitting the collets, your valve stems MAY have mushroomed a little bit making them really tight for fitting the collets. I have used some 600 grit sandpaper and wet sanded until I could slide them on for both my 620 and 800, and will likely have to for my 1000 when I get around to doing it. All my engines have been over 30k miles when I fitted them though.
