I've seen a couple of kits on t'internet including C spanner for the chain adjustment and socket set for the rear wheel. Could anyone recommend any decent manufacturers of / suppliers of the same please or are these items readily available? Thanks.
I have the c spanner - never used - for some reason I have it and have no need for it as don't need it on the 899 - got it from my Ducati dealer it's there own made version copying the original will post it for sale later if your interested paid 35.00 quid for it
Cheers, Sorry, I should have said - I Bought a 55mm 12 point draper "expert" vanadium socket but I'm not happy with it. It has quite a few mm's play in it and seems quite rounded to me.
not sure what make mine is but fits good got from m and s Newcastle ,ask for Neville in parts he will supply you one,
55mm Draper used by M&S and as good as any for the job apparently so I'll stick with it and see how it goes.
The 916 toolkit has a c-spanner. I use it on my 1198 too. Plus the 55mm draper as mentioned previously. Its a 3/4" drive though.
My rear socket is two in one for front & rear. Oberon from italia moto. Local mech says it spot on. £29 or £39. I think.
55mm socket, must be 12 point. Im sure it was a Ducati mechanic who advised that I cut it down to half its length so it has less distance to the bar and less opportunity for not holding it square, thereby reducing the risk of slipping off.
