Front Fork Adjusters - Ducati MONSTER 1100 S Owner's Manual

Front fork adjusters

The front fork can be adjusted for rebound, compression and
spring preload.
The settings are adjusted by way of external adjuster screws:
1) to adjust rebound damping (fig. 46 and fig. 47);
2) to adjust inner spring preload (fig. 46 and fig. 47);
3) to adjust compression damping (fig. 48 and fig. 49).
Park the motorcycle in a stable position on its sidestand.
To adjust the rebound damping setting, turn the adjuster (1)
on the top of each fork leg with a flat-blade screwdriver
(1100) or the special wrench (1100S).
To adjust compression damping, turn the adjuster (3, fig. 48
and fig. 49) at the rear of the fork bottoms using a flat blade
screwdriver.
As you turn the adjuster (1 and 3), you will hear it click.
Each click corresponds to a setting.
The maximum damping is obtained with the adjuster
screwed in fully to the "0" position.
