Gear shift rose joints kaput

  1. Hi as the title says one of the rose joints on the 916 has become very notchy. Is there an equivalent part I can get or is this a case of a duc specific part
     
  2. Not sure about Ducati but I just tried to buy just the rose joint for my rc8. Couldn't get one on its own so had to buy a complete shift rod. If Ducati are anything like KTM then I expect it'll be the same and cost a bomb!

  3. Useful links thanks.
     
  4. Scrawn if you have any more probs let me know I have a few knocking around in my garage.
     
  5. Thanks Drinky, there was just a little bit of play in the rear one on the shift rod. I've replaced it, don't want any more crazy 5th gear false neutrals tipping into corners :D
     
  6. I had the same problem on the 8 after fitting a QS, a little slack can really cause problems, it's sweet now I've tightened everything to within an inch of its life.
     
  7. they are available from Ducati seperately but are a bit more than in those links. They're M6. One is RH thread, the other a LH...
