Shock Absorber Adjusters 748/748S - Ducati 998 2002 Mode D'emploi

Shock absorber adjusters 748/748S (fig. 26
and 27)
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 748S:
turn the adjusters (1 and 2) all the way in (clockwise) then
slacken them 1 turn.
STANDARD setting for 748:
turn the adjusters (1 and 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. Once adjusted,
tighten the upper ring nut.
