2013 Hyper rear hub orientation
Help Support Hypermotard Forum:
Ok so I have a project. I will tear it apart and see if it all assembles the other way and still maintains clearance for the ABS sensor.

I just hope now I'm not wrong, I'll appolagise now if If I've been talking bollocks. Just wish I could go outside and check things, but stuck in the middle of the north sea for another week. You got me doubting myself.

No worries. This has been some great dialogue and hopefully we get a good answer and it is of use to others in the future.
Either way, we know there are parts of the manual related to this that are inaccurate.
Final update.....the manual is wrong.
Spoke with a trusted Duc tech who actually serviced this bike. The hub gets installed with the axle hole clocked in the 1-2 clock position. The manual drawing is CORRECT, the description is 180 degrees out (incorrect) and the directions for chain adjustment are INCORRECT as well.
The tech told me that the "older" bikes have the hub clocked in the 4-5 clock position but this is part of the "newer" regime. He did not elaborate the difference between what years constitute "old" and "new".
Got it together and rode it. The clutch was a nightmare but the ride height and assembly are correct.
Thanks for all the help to the contributing posters.

Right I'm just home from offshore, been out to check my bike hub and yes I'm officially a senile old git. Righty tighty and left loosy and hub set at 1=2 pm.
I'll keep my mouth shut next time.
