To the guys who have tracked their Pani's

I'm finally getting on the track and want to know what settings you used for your particular body weight

front and rear R and C

cold and hot tire temps

trying to build a base index to start from

clearly I'll be using race mode to start my changes from stock settings in F mode wrt rear shock

appreciate your brief inputs

Linkage in F

Tire 27 PSI front cold
27 Rear cold

I have to go look at my suspension settings as I can't remember off the top of my head

Here's a link I posted before, this guy is a top suspension guy. Here's a link to the settings for a pani S. He set my base up:

I've posted this link before but easier to repost than find it.
Ducati Panigale S model | Feel The Track

He recommended cold pressures to me of 27 rear 29 front

will edit later and post my other settings, but 27r and 29f didn't work out for me.
in full gear i am ~215 lbs and on a pretty hot day (90F) it gave me a massive hot tear and chewed up the tires in 3 (not full pace) sessions. after talking to pirelli they recommended 2.3 bar for these tires (33.3 psi) front and rear.

We've been running the same, 27 rear, 29 front, cold, in the OEM Supercorsa SP tires. Set your sag first, make sure you're in the 40mm range front, 30mm rear +/- 5mm, assuming you're in the 160-200 lb. range. Damping settings would depend on how much preload you put in to get your sag numbers, as well as riding style/skill level. Main thing I've found is for fast track riding you need more rebound damping in the front, last time I rode an S-model at the track I had the front rebound set to 8.

Thanks for the input, guys.

What would you think to set at initially with a weight of ~250 lbs.? (no I'm not going on a diet; I'm at < 10% BF as it is!)

The same sag numbers are relevant to fat oakes also...use your preload adjusters to get to the front 40mm and rear 35mm (rider).

I'm 240lbs dry weight and the front fork springs (1kg/mm) seems to be fine for even some track use. The rear shock spring is a little light...I've tried to compensate for it with preload, but you really need to change the spring. There is thread where WAfatboy has done just the shock spring and he was extremely happy with it...after sag, you can start with hydraulic adjustment
