Screen Tool?
 

I've recently bought an MRA screen and am curious about the 'screw' fasteners that hold trhe screen on. The smallest Torx driver that I had was a T-10 - too big! Popped into Halfords this evening and bought a T-8 and a T-6 (just to be sure) and, guess what, T-8 is too big and T-6 is too small.

Question: do I need a T-7 or is it not a Torx fastener?

There should be the proper tool in your tool kit!

Yep - it's a T7.

I bought a proper tool at the BMF show because the one in the tool kit is a bit on the soft side. It was the last one they had too :D

Well *ugger me! Didn't even give it a thought. Assumed that the need to remove the screen would not be considered a routine task and that the fastener was too special! Will go and check!

I have just checked the tool kit and - nothing! Should it be in the red tool bag or is it tucked away somewhere else?

Yep, should be in the red tool bag.

The ones in the tool-kit are rubbish anyway..


There's plenty of people selling a proper T7 screwdriver on ebay. They're only about a fiver, maybe less. Just search under Ducati parts.

If you get stuck..... You can have mine !! No need for tools now i own a suzuki !!

Bigtwin - the 749/999 tool kits don't come with a T7 tool.

As I understand it the 748/9** came with one.

I had one in mine!

As Ducati owners whether we are mechanically minded or not, we should learn a bit of dexterity and apply ourselves to whatever we are doing on the bike.

You need to make sure the tool is central and fully engaged before attempting to turn it.

The screen torx is the same moan as the tie rod nuts!
