[font=Arial]Anyone: I am going to take out the front and back wheels and get new tyres fitted. I know that the torque setting for the rear is 83kn - what is the rating for the front pinch bolts/nuts?
Unless I'm looking in the wrong place I cannot find this info in the owners manual. Thanks for the feedback./font]Text
The pinch bolt torque is 19Nm ±5%
The spindle nut is 63Nm ±5%

Thanks Derek - Appreciated
Often can't find useful stuff like that in the manual. I was shocked to see that the 749S used manual says I have to take it to an authroised dealer to have the chain tensioned!
This IS the Nanny State thread isn't it?
Oh .. it's not? Sorry .... :puzzled:
Now to add something useful to the thread - as I gatecrashed!
Richard's ST Pages (http://webpages.charter.net/strysnie/ducati/) where you will find lots of useful info including torque settings. This guy has done a lot of work on his bike, so many mods and stuff to watch for. I emailled him once with a question and he was very helpful. Can't remember what it was about now mind.

The other useful ST link is to the ST FAQ
Ducati ST FAQ (http://www.bike-gizmos.com/DucatiSTFAQ.html)
If you haven't already got it that is.....

Technically a breach of Ducati copyright.
I know that Porsche suffer the same problem and they react to any such publication in a typically efficient manner - you publish, they sue!
Ducati seem to have a slightly more laid back - dare I say Mediterranean approach ;)
