    nearly had my Duke for 6 years now and now regrets, 0 faults apart from small crack on dash glass (not uncommon)

  8. Rear wheel is a standard 46mm socket on mine (848). Think the 1198 has a bigger hub so not sure if nut size is the same.

    These bikes really need good sag figures to handle nicely so before you do much I would get that set. As stock they have waaaaayyy too much rear preload on the shock.

    Good choice with red

  12. Welcome. I got my 1st Ducati 15 years ago, and I've been addicted since. :)
     
  13. Cool .... so much to learn again .... lived aprilia for nearly 10 years

  15. Rear wheel nut is 55mm. :upyeah:

    I picked up my 1198s 2-weeks ago & coming from many years of bike ownership & maintenance, I'm having to learn again.

    Good choice on the red. I was really after a black (force of habit), but fell for the xerox rep.

    :)
