  3. Ah no wonder couldn't find it was searching on 'Ducati crankcase saver' silly me !!!

    Description says Case saver fits 900 SS monster 748 916 st2-3-4 4S

    Would it also fit 749/999 models ?

  6. Is this for in case the gearbox sprocket suddenly sheers off?

    Do they do that (tremble tremble)?

  9. Prevents case damage from chain snapping as mentioned but also damage caused by a very slack chain. I have seen a 916 case worn away to the point where two grooves were cut into the case and oil had started to seep out, all caused by a aforementioned very slack chain. Up to that point I had never seen that happen.

  10. Don't do what I did - buy a case saver for my 750 and then dilly-dally over fitting it. Fit it straight away.

    If you procrastinate, you'll be very sorry. Just like I was :(

  11. Very easy to fit, takes 5 mins, only need a 5mm Allen key. Good insurance.
