Closer rocker tool - Ducati.ms

Compressing the closers on my 900 or 944 are not a problem.But it's a different story with my 1100.The springs are a LOT stronger making it very difficult to change shims.Anyone else having this problem? Is there a rocker tool to make this easier?

Not sure if the same tool can be used, but I just used this guy on my 996 and it worked great!!

Thanks Chris.I have a tool just like that one.Your 4 valve springs are about the same tension as the 900 2 valvers.The springs in the Hyper 1100 motor are a LOT tougher than the others.There has to be some kind of tool that can hold the rocker compressed while changing shims.I might have to macgyver it.

No problem Rick, if you need any shims, I have a shim kit that would probably have what you need.
