Adjusting Headstock Angle - Ducati 748 2000 Owner's Manual

Adjusting headstock angle

Loosen the two screws (1) on the frame r.h. side to
adjust the headstock angle.
Fully unscrew the screw (2) and turn the headstock end
(3) by 180° with a pin wrench.
Check that the hole on the eccentric is centred with the
through hole in the headstock. Look at the arrow etched
in the top area of the eccentric to centre both holes
accurately.
Fully screw the screw (2). Grease the screw threadings
(1) with SHELL Retinax HDX2 and tighten to 22 Nm.
Note
While performing the above, the handlebars should
not be fully turned.
When finished, the steering damper must be
repositioned. Undo the screw (4, fig. 33.2). Move the
damper rod joint to the frame hole (5). Tighten the screw
(4) previously removed and apply some medium-strentgh
threadlocker.
Important
The steering lock can be used only if the headstock
tube is positioned at 24°30'. This adjustment is possible
for 748S and 996 models only.
