Chain adjustment on 796?

[vb796]

Is the chain on a 2012 796 adjustable ? Ive done dozens of chains and sprockets on mx bikes but damn if I can figure thus out !!!!

[vroooom]

yes. 2 bolts at the end of the single swingarm but i think u need a special tool i think.

Ducati chain adjuster tool for all single sided swingarm bikes except the 1098

rear axle is eccentricated. Loosen pinch bolts and turn spanner ring behind sprocket

Aaahhhhh!!!! I see it now . Just had 14t front installed at duc shop last Saturday . There's some slop in chain but don't hear anything while riding. Think it's ok ?

[Mr Mike]

better a little loose than tight but I did adj mine slightly when I installed the 14T

Measure the slop as the sticker on the swing arm instructs you to. Slightly looser is better than tighter.
