On to the next one!
When does the 23 R arrive? Planning to swap the old bikes stuff over or start anew? Fancy your thoughts on the move to the 23

Good question, hopefully soon. If all goes well April.
Swapping full front brake setup from previous bike and then the basics rearsets/subframe/front stay. I am going to get the better shock w/ pneumatic PL collar and fork carts - with throw the shock on right aways then hold off on the carts. I really want to start out in this one very baseline.

Rick has me convinced that pneumatic PL collar is the way to go. Will be looking to fit one of these on the S (if it’ll fit) when I get around to changing out the rear spring. Cheaper than the Ohlins version

Graves one seems to be half the price too. Doing a little research I found that the Ohlins version is €800-1000 w the canister sold separately.

I think I’ll keep stock shock (TTX36) and length. Rick from Graves got back to me and had this to say about spring length which has me a bit perplexed.
From the research I’ve done, the only 51 mm ID spring (21040- series) is 160 mm in length. Once you get into 180 mm in length, the spring ID bumps up to 65 mm.

oh wait sorry I thought you meant shock length, I have never ordered another spring length - does he know what bike you are on?

Yup. Said they don’t do many Ducatis so no experience on their end.
As for answering Andy’s underhanded musing, when you make something easier to adjust you’re more likely to make that adjustment and optimize settings. Breaking out spanners and spending 5-10 mins in the between sessions is the last thing I’d like to do.

Yeah esp when you just got off the track on a summer day and your hand is right in between a smoldering engine and a smoldering manifold

Once setup properly do you guys find yourself adjusting pre-load often?
This is what I have on my TTX GP, not even sure how to use it because after getting it set up I haven’t had to adjust it lol

You do, and it sucks, but at least at my level I wasn’t adjusting it much.

You have the wrong hydraulic adjuster. There is one part number which places the adjustment on the left, and one on the right. That looks to be the right side adjuster on an application which needs a left.
The R springs are longer IIRC.
