959 Rotating Rear Wheel To Lube

Given whats been said, I'd be more worried that something has gone wrong on PDI or something has been installed incorrectly. I would actually think twice before riding it if it was mine.

Just a thought if you take it off the paddock stand, does the bike push along fairly normally ?

P.S. your going to get so much abuse if it was in gear .

 

People have owned up to a lot of stupid moments on this forum, that would be right up there next to 'kill switch was on' & 'the side stand was down'.

 

If not in neutral, the wheel will rotate a few degrees each way as it takes up the slack between the dogs in the gearbox. It it's solid, it's likely a problem at the back wheel.
First try dropping the rear pads. Then if it's still solid, loosen the spindle nut. That will allow the wheel to turn on the spindle even if everything else at the back including bearings is locked.

If it's a problem at the engine side, you should still be able to rotate the wheel one or two degrees via the slack in the chain.

On all of my Ducatis it has been possible to turn the wheel with a little finger with the bike on stands and in neutral. I don't see why yours should be any different.

 

(See a long thread on here by @Daddy2coull regarding his Hyper. He was man-enough to admit that the whole thing was his mistake. I think most people respected him for admitting it. I certainly did.)

 

Nah, I'd lie too if I was that dim!!

 

For neutral, go all the way down then one half click up. There, glad I could help!!

 

Not if he's running reverse shift...as my mates found out when trying to get mine in neutral and thinking the gearbox had seized LOL

 

1299 or 1199 ? My 1199 was stiffish to turn back wheel freehand but not to the point where I thought it would roll off the paddock stand.

 

It is either the stand or the bike.
Push the bike forward in neutral.

• With the clutch lever pulled in? Easy to move OK
• Without pulling in the clutch lever? Easy to move OK

If above doesn't work have a look at the rear brake pads...if nothing "suspect" there, then it most be an issue withe the stand. Either bearing or something rubs against(which you would have spotted)

 

My mistake, when you said it was your first Panigale I assumed 1199/1299 not its moped equivalent

 

I thought they were twist n go's

 

Jon, the suspense is killing me....
