2013 Multistrada 1200S Touring Granturismo - Pros & Cons
Strengths
-
⚡
Strong power output: With 110.3 kW @ 9250 rpm and 124.5 Nm @ 7500rpm of torque on tap, the Multistrada 1200S Touring Granturismo is no slouch for its class.
-
🔧
Fuel injection: Fuel injection means consistent cold starts and clean throttle response without the fussiness of a carbureted setup.
-
⛽
Large fuel range: A 20-litre tank means fewer stops on longer rides - a genuine plus for touring or a lengthy daily commute.
Considerations
-
📏
Tall seat height: At 850 mm, shorter riders will likely be on tiptoes at a standstill - worth sitting on one before you buy.
-
⚙️
Chain final drive upkeep: Budget time for routine chain maintenance - it's cheap to replace but needs consistent attention to avoid premature sprocket wear.
Wear Points & Servicing Notes
Cooling system servicing
Multistrada 1200S Touring Granturismo's Liquid cooled setup is low-maintenance provided the coolant interval is kept - old, acidic coolant is the main cause of long-term corrosion in the water passages.
Fuelling & injector care
The Mitsubishi electronic fuel injection system on the Multistrada 1200S Touring Granturismo needs little beyond good fuel and periodic use of an injector-cleaner additive - no jetting or float-bowl maintenance to worry about.
Brake disc and pad wear
Braking up front comes from 2 x 320 mm Semi-floating discs, radially mounted Brembo calipers, 4-piston, 2-pad. ABS as standard equipment - solid stopping power, with disc and pad wear best checked on the same schedule as tyre changes.
Suspension condition on used examples
The Multistrada 1200S Touring Granturismo's suspension runs Sach 48 mm fully adjustable USD forks. Electronic compression and rebound damping adjustment with Ducati Skyhook Suspension at the front. The rear uses Progressive linkage with fully adjustable Öhlins monoshock. Electronic compression and rebound damping adjustment. Electronic spring preload with DSS aluminium single-sided swingarm. Fork-seal condition and rear linkage play are the two things worth checking before buying used.
Final drive maintenance
The Multistrada 1200S Touring Granturismo uses chain final drive, which is cheap to replace but needs regular cleaning, lubrication and tension checks to get a full service life out of the sprockets.
Frame & chassis check
Built around a Tubular steel trellis frame, the Multistrada 1200S Touring Granturismo's chassis is straightforward to inspect: look for corrosion, cracks or repair welds around stress points like the head-stock and swingarm mounts.
Handling the weight at a standstill
234 kg puts the Multistrada 1200S Touring Granturismo toward the heavier end of its class. It's most noticeable at walking pace; once underway the mass settles into the handling rather than fighting it.
Multistrada 1200S Touring Granturismo - Buying & Maintenance Guide
What to check before buying
Before handing over money for a used 2013 Ducati Multistrada 1200S Touring Granturismo, cover the fundamentals: service book and oil change history, chain and sprocket wear, and any sign of oil weeping around the casings. Cold-starting it yourself tells you a lot - a healthy Multistrada 1200S Touring Granturismo should catch quickly and settle into a smooth idle.
Oil and filter changes
Nothing protects a Multistrada 1200S Touring Granturismo's engine like disciplined oil changes - stay on the manufacturer's schedule (roughly every 6,000 km or annually). Match the viscosity grade to what the owner's manual specifies, not what's cheapest.
Fuel system care
Fuel injection on the Multistrada 1200S Touring Granturismo needs little attention beyond decent fuel and an occasional system-cleaner additive. Anything left standing for three months or more should have its fuel drained and replaced before it varnishes the injectors.
