Guys Just noticed my chain is rubbing the swingarm behind the gear lever hanger, so pretty close to the front sprocket. Bike has 870 miles on clock, looks like its been rubbing for a while. Anyone else had this on a 1299? Booked it with dealer for inspection regardless, but with 4 track days up and coming id like to offer as much help as possible with the causes as they haven't seen it before.
Yes, it's happened on my 1299. Reported to dealer, pics taken & reported to Ducati a couple of months ago......still no response!!
not much point in commenting generally on here anymore but this is the bugbear of many bike manufacturers although most wouldn't care to admit it. I hope a new 'chain guide' assy is available as a mod soon with csk/low head fixings. There is adjustment for swingarm apparently but it's never that straightforward and particularly on SSSA types.
Have you changed the front sprocket? I know on the renthal fronts they have to be a certain way around
Yes, same size replacement for OEM size on the 1299S. I responded to a previous thread re this issue. Bike was 10 months old then. I must chase this up as I see another complainant had fixed under warranty.
Not same problem as you but I put the heavy duty DID gold chain on my streetfighter and had to put 1mm washers behind the slave cylinder because it was near touching it(hardly get a hair between it before fitting washers), Miner problem compared to that though
Mine is only 870 miles in. Chain checked frequently. I'm put some permanent ink over the affected area and given the bike a 30 mile ride with some hard riding and it hasn't rubbed. Not sure when it does it, maybe it's from all those rolling burnouts I've been dreaming about doing. Hopefully Ducati will sort it, if not then an R1M will be in sight instead, im growing tired of issues with the 1299 (2nd one) and there's only so long the 'love' can stay alive.
I checked mine also has been rubbing i have a totally stock chain and sprockets. Bit disappointing i haven't ridden it since i had it serviced two weeks ago. Back to the dealer again then.
