AAAHhh, memories. Back in the early 90s Ducati had production line problem. They used a metal lock nut versus nylon lock nut on rear sprockets. Seems they were having problem of not tightening enough to stay and lock nut not locking. Notifyed dealers to retourqe[sp] on predelivery and 1st service. I personnaly replaced i think 4 swingarms on 900ss and 1 851. Also my personal 907.
I am sure Ducati will not do you any good on this after all these years.

I PM'ed you with a contact for a guy who I know has two swingarms that he is wanting to sell. Drop him a line and see if he still has them. You can probably get the swingarm welded up, too, so that is always an option. If you don't want to keep the original, I'll take it. It would be a great candidate for a mild extension for a 17" wheel conversion that I plan on doing.....some day. :lick:

If Paul can't help you, I know of another one that is for sale, too.

Sorry, I can't give Ducati torque figures - the Workshop Manual doesn't show them for the rear sprocket - but I'd guess 20 to 25 ft/lb would be enough. If anyone thinks that's wrong, please say so. I haven't had to remove the sprocket on my bike yet.

"REVUE MOTO TECHNIQUE" hors série n°7; a french technical manual about Paso 750 & 906 (http://www.etai.fr) give 2.5 -2.8 m.Kg for the rear sprocket.

Thanks, Alain. That's 18 to 20 ft/lbs for you Yanks, by the way.

You guys are amazing! :thumbup: The system works...thanks Mike.
