I've always felt that you will never truly know what you can and can't do until you actually give it a try. The worst possible thing that can happen is that you have to ask/pay someone else to help you. Either way, the issue gets resolved.
If you look around the internet at the different motorcycle forums, they will tell you that Ducati's are hard to work on, and should only be handled by factory trained mechanics, who specialize in Alien Technology.
Once I started reading up, I realized that Ducati's are actually extremely easy to work on, and were only slightly more complex than your average valve train. Once they mystery aspect was gone, I realized it was actually alot easier than most bikes to do a normal valve check and adjustment on.
So, the Porsche is easy by comparison.
