i gave up with the do it myself job, - and took the bike into a tyre fitters this morning, - my Ducati dealers were booked in with other stuff for weeks. The tyre place was Watling tyres in South Croydon and credit to the guy who did it,- he was very careful with my wheel.

But on putting the wheel back he said that they never torque set the wheels, - the drill they use does them up tight enough, - but how did he know how tight it was? I did n't make a fuss (how English) as to be fair the guy was doing a very careful job, and i was being a pain watching his every move.

But, does anybody else know how tight these guns do up? I guess i know that i should take it back to the Ducati dealer and get it checked but I now feel a bit guilty as i went elsewhere (if you know what I mean).
