    1199S Suspension setup for track day @210ish lbs

    Gentleman looking for some help. I'm 6ft 210-220 and looking for some help with what numbers I should put in on the electronic suspension since I have no one near me that has worked on the electronic setup. I've done 3 track days with the stock setup and I can tell the rear is not squatting and...

    Has anyone eliminated the electronic suspension?

    Curious on this. I am thinking about switching to a Bitubo nitrogen system or upgrading the Ohlins. I am going to be overseas for awhile so I am planning to convert my 14 S into a full track bike while I'm gone.

    Does anyone have any tips on the appropriate front and rear suspension settings (for regular commuting) on a 2013 Panigale 1199, for a 5'7" 90kg male? (no weight loss jokes, folks). :D

    Changing to Carbon wheels and wondering about suspension changes

    First let me say I know that suspension settings are varied from rider to rider depending on preference and many other factors. My question is basically what changes were made when you changed to CF wheels. More compression? less? More or less rebound? Front or rear? Both? Just...

    1299 base suspension settings for street

    I read the sticky and it was pretty useless for people looking for some settings to try. I've been messing around a little but just can't get the front to feel right. Just looking what some street riding people have them set at. I know riding style, weight ect affect it but would like some...

    Upgrade suspension on 899 or upgrade to 1299

    I am looking for advice on what to do with the suspension on my 899. I am no expert in suspension set up but just feel it is a little too soft for spirited riding. A little bit about myself. I am 39 years old and rode mostly CBR'S in my younger years and for the last 10 years or so rode...

    Suspension setup. Again.

    So, I've had this 1199s for a year now. Love everything about the bike but the suspension. I am by no means a suspension guru (obviously), but u can't seem to get the suspension in a spot where the wheels follow the road and doesn't kill me. I've tried setting the sag, if I did it correctly I'm...

    Dynamic Suspension Question

    Had a look around on the forum and can't find the answer so... I was out for a long ride on my 1299S last week (amazing bike). I noticed when riding over rougher roads (not potholed, just not billiard table smooth) the bike was kind of pitching me forward and generally bumping me around more...

    Ducati 1299 Suspension and Handling Settings

    I have been riding with my 1299S in FIXED suspension mode for a few days now and find that I prefer it that way for extremely spirited street riding. Not to say that the Dynamic mode isn't brilliant, because it is, but with fixed, I can get the suspension set exactly to my SPECIFIC tastes...

    Electronic suspension on 1299

    The dealer informed me that the shocks on the 1299S now adjust automatically (dynamic) due to the road conditions. Does the fork or rear shocks lower or raise when the setting is Soft or Hard?

    I have a 2013 Panigale s and I'm trying to find a tutorial or a how to set up the suspension. I read the ones that I can find and still feel unsure about it. I'm aware of how to go in and change the settings, but just not what it means when a change each setting. I do mostly daily driving and...

    Full, half full or low fuel - effect on handling and suspension set up

    I have found that I prefer the handling on the bike with a full tank of fuel as the front feels more planted and I get more feel and then as the fuel load lightens I find the bike starts to get more twitchy. Obviously suspension set up is always going to be a bit of a compromise given that the...
