Front Fork Adjusters - Ducati MONSTER 821 2016 Owner's Manual

Front fork adjusters

Monster 821 Stripe
The front fork used on this motorcycle has rebound,
compression and spring preload adjustment. Spring
preload can be adjusted on both fork legs, while
rebound and compression damping can be adjusted
only on the RH fork leg.
Use the external screw adjusters:
1) to adjust the rebound damping;
2) to adjust the preload of the inner springs;
3) to adjust the compression damping.
Position the motorcycle on its side stand so that it is
stable. Turn the adjuster (1) at the top end of the RH
fork leg with a flat screwdriver to adjust rebound
damping. Turn the adjuster (3) at the bottom end of
the RH fork leg with a flat screwdriver to adjust
compression damping. To change preload of the
spring inside each fork leg, turn the hex. adjuster (2)
with a hex wrench by 0.55 in (14 mm).
