Ducati Monster 1200 Owner's Manual page 213

STANDARD calibration, from the fully closed
position:
- rebound: loosen adjuster (3) by 14 clicks (from
fully closed);
- compression: loosen adjuster (1) by 10 clicks
(from fully closed);
- spring preload: 0.47 in (12 mm) (spring length in
place = 6.22 in (158 mm)).
Attention
To turn the preload adjuster ring nut use a pin
wrench. Pay attention to avoid hand injuries by hitting
motorcycle parts in case the wrench tooth suddenly
slips on the ring nut groove while moving it.
Attention
The shock absorber is filled with gas under
pressure and may cause severe damage if taken apart
by someone who is unskilled.
