Yes, F is brutal. It's fine when you're tracking it and supporting your weight with your legs as you move your body, but for street riding P is rough enough as it is.
I'd be interested to hear from somebody who had it in F and had their suspension adjusted to their body metrics after 2-3K miles on the clock.
 
I changed mine to P before I left the store and had them take some tension out of the preload spring for 1.5" of sag.
 
Hey dude! Got my Tri Color last week with all the carbon accessories and truly love it! It;s my 5th Ducati and I can literally feel the drastic difference once placed on Race Mode!

My question for you here is abut the passenger issue. Did your dealer explain to you the set up issue with the rear shock set up using the "P" and the "F" ? If so what did he tell you that you should do before taking any passengers for a ride on the bike? Im hearing many stories about this topic and it involves making some serious rear suspension changes before doing so. Enlighten me brother?
Many thanks!!'

The shock has a top out spring, so sag should be set about a .5 inch less than you usually would since the rear suspension will not fully extend due to the top out spring on the shock.
 
Standard sag is 2", the Ducati Tech was clear 1.5-1" is nominal for this bike.

And truth be told, do what works for you, I'm definitely going to do what works for me.
