The Ducati workshop manual I've got states: -

Rear Wheel LH nut 137 Nm
Rear Wheel RH nut 157 Nm

Thats quite a difference.

Are all 748's the same or do different models/wheels have different torque settings?

[Mr_S]

My workshop manual states 137 / 157Nm

Ducati's current recommendations are higher though,

Me too, no probs, but then I only trust the cable tie holding it on....

So finger tight isn't enough then?
