Help w/special screw near alternator

psyclone · Aug 16, 2016

Hello,

I mistakenly removed a special screw as I attempted to install an engine slider on my 2012 Ducati Panigale S. I realized my mistake when oil started pouring out of the crankcase!

I quickly screwed the fastener back in, but I am not sure how many threads should be showing for correct installation. Diagram:

Would one of you kind souls run out to the garage and let me know how many threads are showing on your bike?

Thanks in advance

FYI, there's no diagram in your post

ohhhhh....
Frankly I never touched this allen screw. A Ducati tech told me 3 years ago that this one is used to regulate some oil pressure and shoudn't be touched. I hope that somebody on the forum can clarify on this!

Yikes! Thanks for the info. I suspected it is an important part. I haven't started the bike, and I'll wait for clarification.

Cool aproach!
On the SL I measured 4.3mm
On the 1199S 3,3mm
