Saint aka ML · 10-05-2019, 06:19 AM

Guys what is the bolt size to adjust m1200R chain?

It looks like torx socket if so what size. If not what is it?

I believe T60 Torx, @40Nm, will check later

You are correct Slob, it is a T60 and 40nm, just done mine.

Thx guys. Seems plenty torx on that bike lol. Ordered set one 30 to 70 short. Set 2 below 30 and sets 3 and 4 extended on the way.

What was wrong with allen FFS.

It is annoying that Ducati don't help by having a mixture of allen and torx, my BMW is all torx so I already had a full set.

and E sockets/Female Torx on BMWs now

So basically get any tool set now.

FYI there is no marker for chain tension position on monster swing-arm. Roughly middle it is
