HI, you will need a C spanner, behind the rear sprocket is the adjuster,it is the ring with the cutouts in it, first loosen the two bolts on the end of the swinging arm then move the ring in a clockwise direction to tension the chain, if you are very carefull you can do this with a punch and hammer but be carefull, have fun

Most any motorcycle comes with an adjustable chain device on the rear swing arm. as you adjust the small nut inwards towards the front of the bike, it tightens the chain. Likewise for loosening. the adjuster should have increment markings on both sides of the swingarm to even the wheel out. Now I can't say for sure that this is the case with your bike, so I just joined a website that has a forum on these bikes. If you'd like to join as well here is the address http://www.ducati.ms/
I'll get the info from them and relay it back to you. Hope this helps

How do I adjust final drive chain

hi place machine on the centre stand, on the chain side of the bike you will see 2 x17mm bolts first undo these, secondly using the special c spanner from the tool kit locate the ecentric splined nut rite behind the sprocket turning this nut clockwise will loosen the chain, anticlockwise will tighten the chain, before adjustment always check the chain condition rotating the whee looking for extreme tightspots the chain should be considered as failed and replaced with a new 1, after tigtening chain re check for tension rotating the wheel and checking tightness all around, when happy retighten the 2 x 17mm nuts, do not overtighten these nuts, good luck easy job

How do i adjust the chain on a ducati multistrada 1000ds thanks

You pull it of course. Nach... first put the bike on its centre stand then look at the end of your swing arms (both) there should be an adjuster where you loosen the bolt/nut and slide it back toward you by wheel axle. It normally tells you if you are in the same distance for both side. Tighten the bolt/nut and off you go.
