Adjusting The Rear Ride Height - Ducati MULTISTRADA 1100 S Use And Maintenance Manual

Adjusting the rear ride height

The rear ride height is the result of tests carried out under
different riding conditions by our technical staff.
Modifying this parameter is a very critical operation, and
can be dangerous if carried out by untrained persons.
Before changing the standard setting, measure the
reference value (H, fig. 36.1).
E
The rider can adjust the rear ride height to suit his/her
needs by changing the working position of the rear
shock absorber (fig. 36.2).
Increase/decrease the distance between the ends of
tie-rod (2) by loosening the nuts (3) of the ball joints (1)
and turning the flats (A).
Once the tie-rod length is adjusted correctly, tighten the
nuts (3) to 25 Nm.
Notes
Note that the lower nut (3) has a left-hand thread.
Warning
The length of the tie-rod (2) between the centres of
the two ball joints (1) is 255 mm.
