Adjusting the rear shock absorber
The rear shock absorber has adjusters that enable
you to suit the to the load on the motorcycle.
The shock absorber is filled with gas under
pressure and may cause severe damage if taken
by unskilled persons.
When carrying a passenger and luggage, set the rear
shock absorber spring to proper preload to improve
motorcycle handling and keep safe clearance from
the ground (work ring nuts to set spring preload). You
may find that rebound damping needs adjusting as
well.
The shock absorber is adjusted by electric impulses
sent by the instrument panel to the adjusters inside
the shock absorber body.
Rebound and compression: rebound and
compression are adjusted through electric impulses
with Öhlins EC 2.0 controlled semi-active
mode sent by the instrument panel to the adjusters
inside the fork legs.
Spring preload: 11 mm (0.43 in)
Have the preload adjusted at a Ducati Dealer or
authorised Service Centre.
