Warm it with a hairdryer and it should peel off - solvent cleaner will get ride of any glue residue

Heat guns usually help a lot when trying to remove stickers or anything
similiar.

boiling water from the kettle works well too

As pedro says gently gently. If you have sticky residue left use wd40

If that doesn't work Alan, try a chisel.

You can buy just the spanner for £15 from a Ducati dealer... or you can buy the complete 916 toolkit that has the C-spanner in for about £13, also from a Ducati dealer...

I got mine from Moto Rapido as I recall, but it ought to be available to order still from any dealer?

Sorted chain, found that the C-spanner for adjusting rear shock fitted the chain adjusting cam :spin:
