It set up for, two up.

Yes get sag set straight away, before riding anymore. YOu may need a new rear spring.


At 190lbs I needed to loosen the rear and tighten the front some .

Next set your tire pressure, I like 32/31 stock from the dealer it is way to high.

Tech had me on the bike and measured sag on the front and rear, did not make any adjustments, said he got it just right.

Is that 32psi on the front and 31psi on the rear ?

Yes 32f 31r


If he didnt make any adjustments, I doubt its right. It couldnt be.


Get a friend and measure CORRECTLY for 35mm front ISH and 30MM rear ISH.

Make sure you top out the suspension for your first measurement.

Thank you, I will.
 
If the suspension is stiff set it to progressive P rather then the other setting don't let them charge you
 
Unless you are going to track the bike, just ride the ....... thing (yes, we can say that on this forum) the way it is until you decide what you don't like about it. Forums have a way of making a lot of people unhappy with their bikes when they would not have been if they had never found the forum.

Great shots, your first impressions mirror mine, I got the DP comfort seat, the front is built up so you don't keep sliding up on the tank, I took 2 1/2 rounds out of the rear spring pre-load, and back down on the compression damping, my rear is still on F.
I like the stock gearing, but I am pretty rural, not very much traffic around here. I haven't tapped mine out in 6 th gear yet, but I know it will get on top of high gear, stock.
 
Congrats and enjoy. Stomp grip with stock R seat is better for me; then I can use my knees on hard braking yet slide left to right on the seat nice and smoothly.

What's the Stomp grip ?

Pardon the ignorance, I'm really new to Ducati and sport bikes, been doing mostly touring for the last 20 years or so.

Stomp grips are stick on pad that adhere to the fuel tank and provide a bit more grip for your knees/legs than a shiny new slippery tank.

I hate stomp grips. :)
