New chain and sprockets.
How many tools do you have to buy to work on a Ducati?
So many I had to make one... LOL

What did you do in your garage today..?
- Thread starter Hack
- Start date
You made that at work? Can you take a photo showing it in use?
Come for burgers tomorrow..... I made one for @Wind Shear as well.
Ducati chain tension is done with an eccentric hub. You need a 125mm hook spanner.
You can buy them on Amazon for fairly cheap, but I had a sheet of 1/4" 304 SS at the waterjet already.

Did it not come with one? My Multistrada had one in the supplied tool pouch.
OK... so you made me go look, and that would have been funny, but no.
I think there is more room under the seat on a Multi..
I wonder if I need some magic tool to tighten my chain also. 
This bike is the equivalent of the Polish crazy…but Italian.

The scrambler is a standard swingarm, I believe. No special tools required.I wonder if I need some magic tool to tighten my chain also.

The wrench I needed is for the single sided swingarms.

I think everyone just wants your special made tool, because that is next level.
He can show it off tonight!
Or hold the brake on and rock the wheel back and forth.
Be VERY careful torquing the eccentric bolts.
It's a single T60 bolt on mine. So you do not have the two bolt dance.
The wheel rocking method sounds interesting, I will give it a shot next chain adjustment.
Always good to know different ways to do things.
Used a rainy day to do some work on the truck. Running 1/0 power cable through a new vehicle was a pain. More factory wiring means less available space in door channels. Sound deadened all four doors and installed 6 speakers. Will sound deaden the back of the cab and make a new amp-rack when my second amplifier arrives next week.
Where does the sub box live? I am guessing amps will be mounted on rear wall of cab?
I actually didn't think people still did this. Thought it was a sh!tbox civic thing...
Under the rear seat. It's not a cheap prefab one (thin wood, tuned high), it's custom made out of the US by Fox Acoustics. Them and MTI are the two main go-to's for truck and they're doing well. Factory B&O amp and sub came out and I'm making a amp rack that mounts to the rear wall to hold both amps, digital signal processor, and factory integration module.
Nah that still runs true, but when you get old, are an audiophile, and have some spare cash, this is the result. Still quite popular.I actually didn't think people still did this. Thought it was a sh!tbox civic thing...
You will be less likely to be annoying all the neighbours with pounding bass than the civic crowd. It's nice to have it available as it sounds so much better even at low levels.
I have been lazy and haven't bothered with a sub in the car for a couple generations. The last time I had them, I was unwilling to sacrifice any space so I put them in the rear doors. Nobody that cares about sound sits back there anyway and they were mounted too low to travel nicely to the front. Worked well for low profile subs.
Character I wanted….character I got…effing he’ll. At least 20 fasteners to get to the air box (which was perfectly clean).
14mm hex, wtf…small filter was clean.
Oil was black.
But oil changed, filter changed, and air filter kept the same as it was super clean…

I recall someone warning you the Euro trophy wives and Ducatis are sexy but high-dollar maintenance items.Character I wanted….character I got…effing he’ll. At least 20 fasteners to get to the air box (which was perfectly clean).
