Does anyone use any special tools for the job as described?

PS: I've ordered a Haynes Manual
Nope,all you need is a 4mm and 5mm Allen keys.
'T' handled ones are the best.

Hardly any fancy tools are needed for Ducatis, maybe large sockets for the wheel nuts but that's about it really.

The only time I used to get false neutral issues was changing up between 5th and 6th and I fixed this by adjusting the gear lever to be one notch lower so I could shift it cleaner .

Is the slipping between 5th and 6th on the up shift?? If that's the case are you sure it's slipping? I would have thought slipping would occur mainly under load, so more likely on a downshift like mine will often do. I think it acts a bit like a slipper clutch at the mo

If you've put an open clutch cover on, I would imagine you'd need to be more wary of foreign bodies getting into the clutch mechanism??

Just thought I'd post an update, I took the bike out for a small run this evening and have noticed that what sounds like the clutch is slipping now even while riding along.

More noticeable if I slow down in a gear and then accelerate to add some load on it.

I can only assume its the clutch as it sounds a bit like the high pitch sound you get when you pull the clutch lever in when stopped.

I'm still waiting for the Haynes Manual before I start to take it apart but I'm just hoping that the clutch doesn't need replacing.

If it does what's the rough price for new plates? and do you have to replace all the plates at once or just the ones which have worn out?

About £110 for an set of ST4S plates which have ally friction plates and steel driven plates. Much quieter.

Thanks but I'm sure it'll arrive tommorrow so may as well wait now. I got some brake/clutch cleaner spray today so hopefully I'm all prepared.

I'm going to get some T handled allen keys tommorrow.
