i just bought a 2007 s2r m800 and the owner before me had ran the bike with a loose chine causing the chine to rub on the generator cover to the point that it needs to be replaced. [bang] i am new to bikes so any advice would be great. thanks.
You should review the ducati workshop manual or something similar, at a minimum for torque values and steps.
You'll need an "alternator cover" puller (cheap) and either an aftermarket fiber gasket or a suitable sealant.
Depending on how you source your replacement cover, you might need to swap over some parts from old to new.
Got a pic of the damage? Case is OK??

A cheap steering wheel puller will work. If you use a gasket you will need to properly shim the ignition timing sensor. When removing the fasteners, note length and position. Yes, having a manual is a good idea. Just in case, sensor air gap is .6-.8mm, cover bolts 10Nm.
i will be buying new parts from ducati along with new o-rings and sealant. thanks for the advice. i really appreciate it.
Also check out the tutorial section here for some potentially useful info/images.
