Changing Motorcycle Setup - Ducati Streetfighter Owner's Manual

Changing motorcycle setup

(fig. 56, fig. 57 and fig. 58)
Motorcycle setup 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 value (H, fig. 56).
The rider can modify setup according to his/her
needs by changing working position of the shock
absorber.
Loosen lock nuts (3) to change ball joints (1) centre
distance.
Note
Please note that the lower nut (3) has a left-hand
thread.
Apply an open-end wrench to the flats (4) on linkage
(2) and set as required.
When finished, tighten the nuts (3) to 25 Nm.
Warning
Length of linkage (2), included between the two
joint centre lines (1), should not exceed 285 mm.
