Changing Motorcycle Track Alignment - Ducati ST4s Owner's Manual

Changing motorcycle track alignment (fig. 41-42-
43)
Motorcycle track alignment is the result of tests carried
out under different riding conditions by our technical
staff.
Modifying factory setting is a very delicate operation,
which may lead to serious damages if carried out by
unskilled people.
Before changing standard setting, measure the reference
E value (H, fig. 41).
The rider can modify track alignment according to his/her
needs by changing working position of the shock
absorber. Loosen lock nuts (3) to change ball joints (1)
center distance.
Note
Please note that the lower nut (3) has a left-hand
thread.
Set linkage (2) with an open-end wrench.
When finished, tighten the nuts (3) to 25 Nm.
Warning
Length of linkage (2), included between the two
joint center lines (1), should not exceed 272 mm.
