What Tools For Adjusting Chain Tension?

Large C spanner, I have a 2 arm adjustable one, and a big Torx bit, will look up the size for you later.

 

This worked well for me on my 2013 848 EVO

 

I've just bought the bit, it's aTorx T60.
Bizarrely I got it on line from Tesco!

 

Is there no C spanner in the toolkit?

 

The toolkit one is flimsy and weak. Get a better one.

 

Bought a cheapie off ebay and whilst it's done the job the radius was a bit smaller than the hub, even though it claimed to be for the Supersport with the Ducati part number.

I may look around for something better quality

 

Still using the one that came with my 748 back in 98 - works fine if one is careful.

 

I got one similar to this for my previous Multistrada, it also fits the Supersport and all other Ducatis with the same hub.

 

Although slight, there are two sizes of c spanner. One for the older type hubs with the smaller axle using the 46mm wheel nut and one for the later type using the 55mm nuts, which is a slightly bigger radius.
The torque on the single torx bolt is 43Nm.
