-MTS Standard w/ABS: 10nm +/- 5% ......(1-2-1 method i believe)

in case anyone else is wondering,
-Ohlins equipped bikes 2010-2012 = 19nm

-Sachs equipped bikes 2013-2014 = 10nm but not validated....

a search would have yielded the same results. ;)
 
is this not a question that a manual or dealer can easily answer? i mean, folks have offered answers on this topic numerous times.....10nm, 12nm, etc......if the answer isn't to one's liking, then go to the absolute authority which i'd think was an owner's manual or Ducati tech/dealership.
 
Owners manual says nothing about this. I will call a dealer and ask, but I have received incorrect info from them in the past, eg: what size hex is necessary for the cush drives: the dealer said 10mm and it is 12mm. This forum is oftentimes more accurate than 'other' sources, but my searches have not turned up a definitive answer...so I asked.
and the forum can also provide incorrect answers, such as this topic which hasn't been answered in a definitive manner.

call two dealers, three dealers, tell them you're on the road traveling and need an immediate and accurate response. if that doesn't suit people then why not call Ducati NA and ask for them to provide an answer? a DEALER whose TECHS do these repairs EACH AND EVERY DAY should have a pretty good clue as to what the torque requirements are. that doesn't mean they're right, but then why would someone here know better?
