Product Overview
Timing work goes better when the crank can be moved slowly and held where you need it. This tool gives the mechanic a controlled way to rotate many Ducati twin-cylinder engines instead of bumping the starter or turning through the rear wheel.
Ducati used different engine and access arrangements across the years. Confirm the tool thread and drive style for your exact engine, then remove the spark plugs and turn only in the service-manual direction.
This is an aftermarket replacement part and is not manufactured or supplied by the original equipment brand.

Compatibility Notice
Northline Parts does its best to list all known compatible models, but the correct part may fit an application not shown. Model names alone may not guarantee fitment. Compare the original component, reference number, connector or mounting design, dimensions, and any serial-number or production-date break before purchase.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use an impact wrench with this tool? A: No. It is meant for slow hand rotation during service.
Q: Does it fit every Ducati made from 1990-2020? A: No. The range is broad, but the engine thread and access design must match.
Q: Why remove the spark plugs? A: That reduces cylinder pressure and makes controlled hand rotation easier.
