Removing Ignition Switch From Top Yoke '95ss

Discussion in 'Supersport (1974-2007)' started by 900ss'er, Oct 26, 2016.

  1. Does anyone know how to undo those strange conical security bolts that fasten the ignition switch to the underside of the top yoke on a 1995 900ss? The manual says take it to a Ducati dealer....
     
  2. from memory...are there star (hex) studs underneath? (I may be confusing with a gixer)
     
  3. Just what I was looking for, thank you. I'll try it tomorrow after they've soaked overnight in penetrating oil
     
  4. oddly enough seen something on this in last couple of days
    just cannot remember where lol
    get a nut and bolt same thread as security nut
    with the nut wound on the bolt screw the bolt into the security nut and wind the hex nut against it as a locknut
    then undo the nut by turning the bolt
    in theory

    or weld a nut to the security nut then undo

  5. The bolt and locknut method worked for me.
     
  6. Great information, I always used molegrips when I was building track bikes but now I have a better way to try
     
  7. Yep, that worked! Thanks all
