Well, it's like this Andy:
Ducati - swingarm raised 4mm.
Reality - swingarm goes from +1 position, to -3 position.

The reality, suggests a change of -4. Ducati advise a change of +4mm.

Ergo, I am unsure, of what moves in which direction. I'm pretty sure, there is a change of 4mm, one way or another.

Potentially, the frame markings indicate the chassis position relative to the swingarm, and Ducati are describing the swingarm position relative to the chassis.

So I’ve just finished three days on track at jerez
E6400715-8C95-4FBA-A261-C9BFDE7C6368.jpeg

Also at the circuit was a well renowned Uk Ducati dealership with their top tech there assisting their group of customers with a variety of v4r.
So I have had this straight from the horses mouth
Original v4 18-19 swing arm was fixed in a position the same as what is -3
When the r came out it had the adjustable pivot but that was std in -3 along with the different length tie rods .
Our 22 base model is fixed in the +1 position
The new 23 R is std in the +1 position. The shock is longer as we know and the rocker has changed
Interestingly one of the 20 R at Jerez had the Pierobon sa extension that was running in the +1 position as well as a linear rocker
 
Ok, now it all seems “correct”. The ‘21< V4s had -3 fixed SA pivot as the ‘22 update says the pivot was raised 4mm such that the ‘22> V4s have the +1 fixed SA pivot.

Hmmm? Were the V4 (WSBK homologation) bikes set at the lower pivot for less “anti-squat” to try and mimic the rear ride height “squat” device used in MotoGP to lower the CG? The front and rear ride height lowering is used at the MotoGP start line for just such and on corner exit until the front was banned during the race.

My next purchase, if there is one anytime soon, would definitely be an HP4 Race over the new V4R

this is so hilarious. people are attaching so much value to an overpriced 2017 bike that hasn't won anything apart from dodgy TT race.

its a nice bed room decor to prop up the value of your flat. 70k buys you near WSBK spec Duc prepped by Barni.
