Adjusting The Rear Shock Absorber - Ducati Superbike 1299 Panigale S 2016 Owner's Manual

Adjusting the rear shock absorber

The rear shock absorber has adjusters that enable you
to suit the setting to the load on the motorcycle.
Warning
The shock absorber is filled with gas under
pressure and may cause severe damage if taken apart
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.
