1200 Mounting Question - Handlebar U-bolt

Discussion in 'Multistrada' started by Prince Charmin, May 24, 2023.

  1. Hi Community!

    I was replacing the handlebar "u-bolt" (Top bracket) with a WRS type.
    The pre-owner had replaced the original with a special version for a Garmin Navi, which I did not like.
    However ... I am a little bit confused by the original Ducati description from the workshop manual, how to fasten this part.

    Does this really mean, you have to fully torque down screw 1, then screw 2, then screw 3, then screw 4 and at least go back to 3 with full 25NMs?
    This would mean, the front side of the bracket would sit directly on the bottom part (raisers) and the backside (towards driver) would have gap.
    Is this correct? My guts feeling would say, torque them down in parallel and have the same gap all around.

    Thanks for your feedback, I hope I explained my dilemma well. :D

  2. I just did them diagonally by hand then torqued them up.
    You are over thinking this.
