Does anyone know if i would be able to get spare bolts and washers for the exhaust guard on a 1198 please? I've vibrated two out, and the washers seem lipped, and with what appears to be a fibre one set in too. Am i best off going to my nearest dealer? Thanks people! Ian.
Yup....the dealer is the only answer really. I loctiite'd mine in when I had the tea tray on, as you say the washer is not flat and yes there is a fibre washer in there too.
772.1.088.2B x1 Bolt 716.1.407.1A. X2 spacer 852.1.072.1A. X2 Washer Thats what I had to buy to replace one that rattled out. As Anth says loctite will become your friend. Maccaa
Thank you all. I'm a bit suprised the originals showed no signs of thread lock at all. Surely Ducati may guess that a big V twin vibrates a bit! Ian.
My guess is Ducati may have guessed that and worked out that they can charge a kings ransom for the little buggers when they DO escape.
I'm going to need an overdraft tomorrow aren't I? Just for two little bolts and a few fancy washers because of my obsession with 'gotta be standard!'
Think I used spare fairing screws on mine... Might be worth checking before spending that sort of loot on 3 f'ing bolts!
