Ducati motorcycles are NOT that high maintainance. But, I find it awesome you would check the valves after you get half-way through a tank of gas.

When I had an odometer, I followed the maintainance schedule to a T. Now that it's a track/race bike - I follow the calendar rather than the miles. Oil changes every three months, valve check once a year. I just had the suspension taken care of - and the rest is taken care of and tracked [brakes/chain/tires/plugs/etc.].
