Front Fork Adjusters - Ducati Diavel 2014 Owner's Manual

Front fork adjusters

The front fork used on this motorcycle has rebound
(return), compression and spring preload adjustment.
Adjustment is done by external screw adjusters:
1) for rebound damping (Fig. 122);
2) for inner spring preload (Fig. 122);
3) for compression damping (Fig. 123).
Put the motorcycle on the side stand and make sure it
is stable. Turn knob (1) at the top of each fork leg to
adjust rebound damping. Turn adjuster (3) at the
bottom of each fork leg with a flat-blade screwdriver
to adjust compression damping. Turn knob (1) and the
adjusting screws (3) to adjust damping. The stiffest
damping setting is obtained with the adjuster turned
fully clockwise to the "0" position. Starting from this
position, turning counter clockwise, you can count
the turns.
To change preload of the spring inside each fork leg,
turn the hex. adjuster (2, Fig. 122) with a 22 mm (0.87
in) hexagon wrench, starting from the fully open
(clockwise) position.
From reference (A, Fig. 122), every full turn clockwise
corresponds to 1 mm (0.04 in) of preload of the
