Ducati 996 (1999) Инструкция по эксплуатации онлайн [24/80] 114429

When carrying a passenger and a load, set the rear shock

absorber spring to maximum preload to improve

motorcycle handling and keep safe clearance from the

ground. You may find that rebound damping needs

readjusting.

Shock absorber adjusters (fig. 18)

The shock absorber has outer adjusters that enable you

to adjust your motorcycle to the load.

The adjuster (1) located on the left side, on the

connection holding the shock absorber to the swingarm,

controls rebound damping.

The adjuster (2) on the shock absorber expansion

reservoir controls compression damping.

Turn the adjusters (1 and 2) clockwise to increase

damping, anticlockwise to reduce it.

STANDARD setting for 996, 996S, 748S:

turn the adjusters (1and 2) all the way in (clockwise) then

slacken them 1 turn.

STANDARD setting for 748:

turn the adjusters (1and 2) all the way in (clockwise) then

slacken them 12 clicks.

Two ring nuts (3), located on the top section of the shock

absorber are used to adjust the outer spring preload.

To change spring preload, slacken the upper ring nut.

Then tighten or slacken the lower ring nut to increase

or decrease spring preload as required.

Warning

Use a specific pin wrench only to turn the preload

adjusting nut. Be careful when turning the nut to avoid

hurting your hand hitting motorcycle parts. The pin may

slip out of the nut recess while carrying out such

operation.

The shock absorber is filled with gas under pressure and

may cause severe damage if taken apart by unskilled

persons.
