FAQs
What is this socket used for?
This socket is specifically designed for removing and installing the fork caps on Öhlins electronic shock absorbers, commonly found on Ducati Multistrada motorcycles.
Is this socket compatible with all Ducati Multistrada models?
It is designed for models equipped with Öhlins electronic shock absorbers. Always check your motorcycle's specific suspension type and consult your service manual for compatibility.
What does 'equivalent to OEM 887133465' mean?
It means this socket performs the same function and has the same specifications as the original equipment manufacturer's part number 887133465.
What are the drive options?
The socket features both a 1/2" square drive for ratchets and torque wrenches, and a 27mm hex head for use with standard wrenches.
What material is the socket made from?
It is manufactured from non-marking POM (Polyoxymethylene), a durable plastic designed to prevent damage to suspension components.
Can I use this socket with an impact wrench?
While it has a 1/2" drive, it is generally recommended to use hand tools for delicate suspension components. If using an impact wrench, use it on the lowest setting with caution and short bursts to avoid damage.
How do I clean and maintain the socket?
Clean with a soft cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals and store in a dry environment.
Troubleshooting
Socket does not fit fork cap securely.
Verify that the motorcycle model and suspension type are compatible (Öhlins electronic shock absorbers on Ducati Multistrada). Ensure the correct side of the socket is engaged with the fork cap. Check for any debris in the fork cap slots or on the socket pins.
Difficulty turning the fork cap.
Ensure the correct drive tool (1/2" or 27mm hex) is properly seated. Apply steady, controlled force. If the cap is excessively tight, check if it is cross-threaded or if there is an obstruction. Do not use excessive force that could damage the tool or the fork cap.
Socket appears to be slipping.
Confirm the 8-point pins are fully engaged within the fork cap slots. Ensure the socket is held perpendicular to the fork cap. If the fork cap slots are damaged, this may require professional attention beyond the socket's capability.
