Changing Motorcycle Track Alignment - Ducati Superbike 749R 2006 User And Maintenance Manual

Changing motorcycle track alignment

(fig. 37, fig. 38 and fig. 39)
Motorcycle track alignment is the result of tests carried
out under different riding conditions by our technical staff.
Modifying the track alignment is a very delicate operation,
and can be dangerous if carried out by untrained persons.
Before changing the standard setting, measure the
reference value (H, fig. 37).
The rider can modify track alignment according to his/her
needs by changing working position of the shock absorber.
To change the centre-to-centre distance between ball
joints (1), slacken the counter nuts (3).
Notes
Please note that the lower nut (3) has a left-hand
thread.
Use an open-end wrench on socket (4) of linkage (2).
When finished, tighten the nuts (3) to 25 Nm.
Warning
Length of the rod (2) between the two ball joint
centres (1) should not exceed 285 mm.
