Adjusting The Front Fork - Ducati Diavel Carbon Owner's Manual

Adjusting the front fork

The front fork used on this motorcycle has rebound,
compression and spring preload adjustment.
Adjustment is done by external screw adjusters.
1) for rebound adjustment (fig. 112);
2) for spring preload adjustment (fig. 112);
3) for compression adjustment (fig. 113).
Put the motorcycle on the side stand and make sure
it is stable.
Turn the knob (1) on every fork leg top with a suitable
wrench to adjust rebound damping.
Turn the adjuster (3) on fork leg bottom with a flat
screwdriver to adjust compression damping. Turn
the knob (1) and the adjusting screws (3) to adjust the
dampening. 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. 112) with a 22 mm
hexagon wrench, starting from the fully open
(clockwise) position. From reference (A, fig. 112),
every full turn clockwise corresponds to 1 mm of
preload of the spring, up to a maximum of 15 mm,
corresponding to 15 full turns.
