Tools

[gary hyp]

Hi, I was checking out the tools listed for the hyper on ebay and I didn't see a tool for turning over the engine for valve adjustments (was on there at one time ) but I did see the tool for the front end for wheel removal ( it holds one side while loosing the other) Are these tools necessary or is there a shop trick in place of these tools ???

Get one from ca-cycleworks.com. It's like $65 bucks.

Or just put the bike in like 5th or 6th gear and spin the wheel. Ghetto tech. woohoo.

You can slip a Phillips screwdriver up the bottom of the fork bewteen the slot and into the hole in the axe shaft and it will go on and off just fine.

However, that little toolis pretty slick.

Out!

I stumbled across this in a search for an alternator cover removal tool... how did that happen?
Anyway, I built my own motor turning tool using an M8 bolt about 40mm with a spacer about 25 mm and a nut that fits the bolt. Basically you have spacer contacting crank, then nut jammed against spacer so it's tight. You can only turn motor in reverse using this home made tool. It was free for me using spare parts bin stuff. It worked much better than rotating the rear tire or paying $65 and waiting for the UPS dude.

I found this info on google.com There are some photos of the home made tool if you search ducati engine turning tool. I hope this helps someone.
