2006 Ducati Superbike 749 Dark Owners Manual - Page 142

Changing chassis attitude (749/749S) (fig. 40fig. 41-fig. 42) Motorcycle track alignment is the result of tests carried out under different riding conditions by our technical staff. Modifying factory setting is a very delicate operation, which may lead to serious danger if carried out by unskilled people. Before changing the standard setting, measure the reference value (H, fig. 40). The rider can modify track alignment according to his/her needs by changing the working position of the shock absorber. To modify the ball joint centre distance (1) first slacken off the locknuts (3). Notes Please note that the lower nut (3) has a left-hand thread. Use an open wrench on the socket (4) of linkage (2). When finished, tighten the nuts (3) to 25 Nm. Warning Length of linkage (2) between the two joint centre lines (1) should not exceed 285 mm. E H fig. 40 1 3 2 4 3 1 fig. 41 45
