Adjusting The Front Fork - Ducati MULTISTRADA Series Owner's Manual

Adjusting the front fork

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 adjustment;
2) to adjust the compression damping;
3) to adjust the preload of the inner springs.
Position the motorcycle on its side stand so that it is
stable.
Turn adjuster (1) at the top end of the RH fork leg
with a suitable screwdriver to adjust rebound.
Turn adjuster (2) at the top end of the LH fork leg
with a suitable screwdriver to adjust compression.
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 corresponding to
the indicated adjustments.
STANDARD setting:
1) Rebound: - 2 turns (from fully closed)
2) Compression: - 2 turns (from fully closed)
