All these lessons have been employed and improved upon with the 1098 and comparitively it sports considerably less parts than the 916 and a few less than the 999, which all aids in reducing the work required to carry out formerly awkward and costly maintenance.

Not sure that is entirely correct as Ducati would have been facing a myriad of warranty claims for new looms and sensors if that was the case.

Its usually the ECU that gives all the grief.
