| I hear where you are coming from, but if you look at the threads discussing chain failures in detail, it obvious that actually most are due to aftermarket chains...and in particular one manufacturer.
I don't think it is an issue with standard Ducati chains than any other brand of motorbike...but there does definately appear to be a trend towards DID chains letting go at a fairly young age...even those well maintained.
And for info, mine went about 8 months ago...fitted by myself (PhD in mech Eng.) aligned perfectly, very very well maintained etc...and it went without warning whilst doing about 30 mph...make...DID.
