Can't argue with that. The bike is definitely maintenance intensive, but for me that is just part of the fun. 

is in it part of the fun anyways?

Ducati is the pretty girl that can't walk in heels without stumbling. I still love her.

On your S4RT, might I ask why you put the damper on the throttle/brake hand side?

Just preference.

So you set the tension & leave it.......no adjustment while riding?
My people skills are just fine.
It's my tolerance to idiots that needs work.

Back in the day when I had my old M900 I had the Ohlins (SD154 I think) damper on the left side.

I never adjusted it.  I just got it where I liked it and left it. . .

I'm gonna go ahead and clear up the confusion, I have it on the right side because I didn't want it on the left.  It's set at about 3/4 firm and that's where I leave it.

I might take it off!!
