Shock Absorber Adjusters - Ducati MONSTER S4R Manuel D'utilisation Et Entretien

Shock absorber adjusters (fig. 24 and fig. 25)
The shock absorber has outer adjusters that enable you to
adjust your motorcycle to the load.
The adjuster (1) located on the right 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, or counterclockwise to
reduce damping.
STANDARD setting:
from fully screwed in, turn adjuster (1) out by one turn and
adjuster (2) out by two turns.
Spring preload 25 mm.
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 off the upper ring nut.
Then tighten or slacken the lower ring nut to increase or
decrease spring preload as required. Once the desired
spring preload has been set, lock down the upper ring nut.
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.
