I'm trying to change the tire on my 1098 and i need a special size socket for it its a 55mm 12point socket with a built in mandrel to stop it from slipping.  Does anybody have one i could borrow or know of a shop that carry's these locally?

^problem solved, goto page 2

have you tried calling any of the nearest duc dealer's?  of course today is monday 
speedymoto makes one, perhaps one of the shops have one in stock.

otherwise, try posting on DESMO, perhaps someone will let you borrow one?   
I know some like to dismiss DESMO for some reason, I still haven't figured out, to each their own...... but it's a suggestion.  Take it or leave it.

I tried Formula 1, they suggested speedymoto, but they don't stock it going to try goldcoast.   

I will give DESMO a shot thanks IG.  If all else fails guess i will next day air one off of ebay heh

Are you trying to take that nut off? On my S2R1000 is this spring retainer and 1 nut that looks pretty freakinig large. I just use a massive Spanner wrench.  Home depot carries it them.

55mm 12point socket

I have a set (left and right) for my S4RS but I don't remember the exact size at the moment but I think the 1098 is larger.  I'll check when I get home tonite.

Yeah im trying to take it off, but from what i can gather its a special size for the 1098 and they taper the points differently too.  Figures.....well i really cant complain owning a ducati was never supposed to be easy, otherwise i would have a Honda

Hey!   

You see while you are waiting for your tool to maintain your pretty Duc I'm actually riding my Honda.

My point exactly 

FL the S4R is a 42mm i believe so it would not fit, thanks though!

Thanks for all the fast responses all!  I found one on EBay for 30$ and it has the socket for the front wheels too.  Will be here thursday, just in time for a weekend of hooliganism!
