Ducati SUPERBIKE 848 MY 2008 Manual page 107

Maintenance operations
Warning
To turn the preload adjuster ring nuts, use only a specific tool and take care, otherwise the wrench
pins may suddenly slip out of the ring nut. This could injure your hands.
Never use a wrench with a too small pin or with a too short handle.
Warning
The shock absorber is filled with high-pressure gas and can cause injuries if inexpertly dismantled.
Important
If the motorcycle is to be ridden with a pillion rider and luggage, we recommend setting the rear shock
absorber spring preload to the maximum to ensure the best handling and proper ground clearance at
all times. It may also be necessary to adjust the rebound damping accordingly.
