Guys and gals, please confirm it's just the 2 allen bolts (1 of which behind the generator cover) holding the starter motor in on a 996. I've taken them both out and given the motor a little tap but it's stuck so tight it makes me wonder if I've forgotten something.

Havn't had to remove mine yet but this would sugest there are more. DUCATI MOTORCYCLE STARTER MOTOR SUPERBIKE 748 916 996 998 S SPS R 27040011A | eBay
There are in fact three, one of which you can access through a hole in the idler gear. You have to turn the engine by hand until it lines up. You can then undo and extract the allen bolt through the hole. http://www.mad-ducati.com/Technical/Engine/StarterMechanism_M.jpg
What a star Duke . I had a little peer around the gear initially but with the 2 I removed being opposite each other my mind had decided that was enough. Working outside in the cold and dark removes my motivation to go problem solving. Thanks again.
