Adjusting The Rear Shock Absorber - Ducati Hyperstrada Owner's Manual

Adjusting the rear shock absorber

The rear shock absorber has commands that enable
you to adjust the setting to suit the load on the
motorcycle. The adjuster (1), located on the
swingarm, controls rebound damping. Turn the
adjuster (1) clockwise to increase damping, or
counter-clockwise to reduce damping. Knob (2)
allows adjusting the external spring preload. To
change spring preload work on the knob: Then
TIGHTEN or SLACKEN the lower ring nut to
INCREASE or DECREASE spring preload.
STANDARD setting from the fully closed position
(clockwise):
- rebound: unscrew the adjuster (1) by -1.5 turns
from Max. (fully closed);
- spring preload: 0 mm from all unpreloaded.
