I checked the chain on my SFs and found it to be way too loose. How do I adjust the chain? New to Ducati and no manual. Lots of wrenching bikes. Thanks for any help.
You need to loosen the two pinch bolts on the back of the swingarm (rear on rear stand is best). Between the chain and the hub you'll see a notched plate, you use the wrench to tighten/loosen chain as needed. Tighten pinch bolts. Torque spec is: 33nm (this is 1098 spec)
