Just to avoid any doubt, Rushjob, look it up.

I did..... that's what got me thinking when you compare it to the two other values used in similar applications.
On the 996 the rear axle threads are M33 and M38 which only rate 137 and 157Nm respectively!
I know that Ducati have amended some torque values but on what and which way they went I couldn't say.

Don't mean to throw a socket (erm, spanner) in the works, but doesn't it depend on waht tpe of swing arm you have? Or are the later models the same nut size?

Nope,all 999/749 rear wheel nuts are the same,....36mm.

Just a thought before a foot in mouth email gets sent out..........

Thanks,still think it's a **** take,not showing the correct socket size.:P

I am still confused as to whether there is any sort of agreement here on the torque setting to be used with a 36mm nut

[Rushjob]

Wait till tomorrow Phil & ask one of the Tech guys on the Ducati stand!

Maybe I will have to....but I was planning on removing the wheel tonight !

Like I said, if you're in doubt then look it up.

The rear wheel nut on mine is 36mm socket size.(clue: look on your bike)
180Nm means I'm lifting the bike off it's side stand on the upswing
(999s '06)

Hey, I'm just trying to help out here!

Yes, the rear nut requires a 36mm socket. I think we've established that.

But there seems to be some doubt over the torque setting so I put up the pdf so people can look it up for themselves. It says 180 Nm (+-10%) (or 132 lbft if you're Rockhopper )
