Ducati HYPERMOTARD 939 - Adjusting the Rear Shock Absorber

Adjusting the rear shock absorber
The rear shock absorber has adjusters that enable you
to suit the setting to the load on the motorcycle.
Adjuster (1), located on the swinging arm, adjusts the
damping during the rebound phase (return). Turn
adjuster (1) clockwise to stiffen the damping, or
counter clockwise to soften it. The two ring nuts (2),
located in the shock absorber upper side, adjust the
external spring preload. To change spring preload,
slacken the upper locking ring nut. Then TIGHTEN or
SLACKEN the lower ring nut to INCREASE or
DECREASE spring preload.
STANDARD setting from the fully closed position
(clockwise):
- rebound: loosen adjuster (1) by 8 clicks (from fully
closed position);
- Spring preload: 20 mm from Min. (from fully
uncompressed position).
