Hi all
I just started racing again after a long layoff and need to upgrade the stock suspension hoping some racers here who have sorted there 1199r can give me some advice on what to buy.
I'm 3 races in on a 2013 1199r im really liking the Ducati I wish it had a slipper clutch/wheelie control and the clutch less shifter both up and down but I guess those are parts for the future.
The bike is completely stock except for a tank extender and I have put in heavier springs in forks (11)and I have put a ride height adjuster to lower the rear to get it too hook up when I got the bike I think it was jacked up alot and would spin easily. I haven't sorted ride height front or rear yet but slowly understanding more and getting better on it.
My times are around 5 seconds off lap record at tracks Iv been too. So I was looking for advice on what is the best option re fork kits and new shock or revalve the shock I have. I'm only after advice from anyone who has actually raced a 1199 worked on them for racing etc experience.
There is not a lot of feel under braking I'm 90kg without gear not sure if this is the way the bike feels or because the rebound is .... on the 1199 I have had to put shims in the forks to try increase the rebound a band aid until I upgrade it but it's still rebounding too quick and I'm running 0 rebound on the front and 0 in the rear it's still not enough I do want to drop a couple more seconds off so can anyone suggest what suspension worked for them I'd appreciate it
Cheers
