Changing Chassis Attitude (749/749S) (Fig. 40 - Ducati 749S 2005 Owner's Manual

Changing chassis attitude (749/749S) (fig. 40-

fig. 41-fig. 42)
Motorcycle track alignment 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 danger if carried out by unskilled people.
Before changing the standard setting, measure the
reference value (H, fig. 40).
The rider can modify track alignment according to his/her
needs by changing the working position of the shock
absorber.
To modify the ball joint centre distance (1) first slacken off
the locknuts (3).
Notes
Please note that the lower nut (3) has a left-hand
thread.
Use an open wrench on the socket (4) of linkage (2).
When finished, tighten the nuts (3) to 25 Nm.
Warning
Length of linkage (2) between the two joint centre
lines (1) should not exceed 285 mm.
