23 v4 r shock length is 216

The V4R service manual I have is for the 2023 V4R bike. At least they updated the pictures anyway. Ohlins gives the spec as 310mm +4/-2 so 314mm max. At 316mm you’d be past the mark on the threads, which I thought was there to indicate max safe length.

Holy $h!t, Andy has been shouting into the wind haha!!!

Same same. Not sure where Andy's fat fingered 316 mm comes from but who cares tbh

2023 V4R // 2023 SEASON

these are Ducati Fairings, I just the new Speed Carbon fairings in. I will post images today Have you found any fairings (besides the Ducati branded fairings) that fit the bike with the STOCK exhaust? Motocambri has a bunch of choices, but they are all for the RACE exhaust. Yes, First Gear...

What does MotoSpec say?

MotoSpec went out of business after you started publishing your spec overlay images of on the internet.

I wonder if this was an Italian factory one off or by intent. Looks a tad too long.

Yeah that ring delineates the max length. But then again let him fafo

BP PanigaleV4S · 2024-12-23T19:22:38-0800

That's what I thought. If I tried to adjust the length so that ring would show past the lock nut there was a very obvious binding to the threads, almost as if Ohlins was saying stop.

It seems the Ohlins spec, 310mm +4mm/-2mm seems to be on the money.

I took a snapshot of this back in 2022 from this site. The interesting part is that it was some semi-famous fast guy, I forget who and can't find the thread, that was fast using a V4S in its dynamic mode. My maxing out all of the dynamic settings, you'd just be letting the bike adjust more.

Warning

The shock absorber has a maximum distance indicated by a groove on the threaded section of its eyelet.

Warning

Once the maximum centre distance has been reached, the groove is aligned with lock nut (5) when this is tightened.

If, with lock nut (5) tightened, the groove protrudes with respect to the lock nut, the shock absorber centre distance

used is NOT CORRECT (too long).

Spooky….. @spooky take a picture of the bottom eye of you shock and post it please!

What you will see is a std factory fitted ttx with a length eye to eye of 315/316 and the bottom lock nut tightened way beyond the threads on that wide space marker!

andyb · 2024-12-24T01:25:48-0800

and if you read ALL the blurb on the release brochure for the 2023 V4R you will find..

I think SD summed himself up when he said, and I quote, "im not sure!" he should of left it at that!!
