suspension

Hi all I was wandering if you can tell me the front triples/fork pitch/span and distance between rotors measured on the inside faces. Thanks in advance

In reading as much as I can on the new 1299, I watched a YouTube video showing some of the functions that are new to the 1299; one that piqued my interest was the "fixed" setting for the suspension that allows us to manually set our preferred settings. I rode a BMW HP4 at a local track and the...

Hello guys, This is my first post (of many I hope). I ride a Ducati 1199 and a Honda CBR1000RR. I find the Ducati far too stiff in the rear end, not all like the Fireblade. Has anyone else similar sentiments? I tried approaching Ducati Australia (I live in New Zealand)...

Can anyone shed some light on the differences between Ducati 1299's Ohlins Semi-Active 'event-based' suspension and how it differs from BMW's semi-active electronic suspension. thanks..

This is from the 1199 owners manual "The STANDARD adjustments from fully closed are as follows: compression: 10 clicks from fully closed; rebound: 10 clicks from fully closed; spring preload: FULLY OPEN (counterclockwise): 6 turns." and rear, "STANDARD calibration; from the fully...

Oh yes! It's happening!

hi guys does anybody have workshop manual for Panigale S (electronic) suspension? thxs

another great idea ducati had was the rubber booties that cover the electronic suspension. they kind of look like flexible straws and ducati in their infinite wisdom didnt give an extra 1/4 of an inch so these things are pretty stretched out to begin with.. anyhow mine are of course split...

Does anyone know if the Ohlins EC suspension is purely the steppers adjusting compression and rebound on the move or whether the system features mechatronic adjustment as well?

Brought my bike to Ducati Manhattan for warranty work. I live 60 mikes north of the city where the roads are pretty smooth. But once I hit the Bronx the bike was taking the bumps like a pogo stick. I weigh 195 what do you have your settings at for the city.

Hi there, I was just wondering how I should tweak the preload on the springs to suit my 95kg riding weight? Or should I just leave it? It feels ok but I want to have the best this beast can offer. Cheers

Hey there smart people. I have a question regarding suspension setup and getting the bike to behave. I had my preload set at the dealership during the first service and we go the sag to appx 30 front 35 rear. However this bike is squirrley. When carrying speed through an extended...

What reference point on the bike are you guys using when setting rear shock sag? After that, gonna move on to these: note: for the rear setup, by clockwise I am standing at the rear tire facing forward to the front end. When adjusting rear compression (red dial with flat tip screw on...

I say unique because I have been on this forum for a few months now but haven't noticed anyone with quite the extent of my problem. I am about 315 lbs. Also 6'11" tall. I already got my rear spring replaced and set all of my suspension to where I think it should be. but I had 2 questions...

SATO RACING | Carbon Suspension Cover - Ducati 1199 Panigale I am wondering if it reduces the heat transfer to the left leg ???? I find in traffic in the summer having my left leg down is really hard due to the massive heat output of the shock...... I am hoping this might help... But its...

Hello all, just came from a track day yesterday mainly working on getting comfortable and body position. Saw a few race prepped 1199's and picked the guys brains about setup. They've been working with a local suspension shop and they have been raising the rear about 5-10mm on average. Said it...

Looking for some input/advice, I have a 2012 base that I track ride/ canyon carve and everything inbetween. I have upgraded the suspension to the FGRT203 forks and the TTX MK2 shock all sprung for my weight. When the forks were installed the put the top of the forks even with the top of the...

I can't get my 1199s dialed in. Anyone know of some good shops for this? I live in Los Angeles. Thx

Dear friends of "the Bling" Today I installed some new parts recently ordered on the DucaBike website. Perfect fittment, easy to install (if you have a crane handy), and IMHO cool looking. It's very easy to change the riding height and there are two different versions of the pushrod lenght...

I just made a suspension datalogger from Arduino board, a couple of ultrasound distance sensor, three days of swearing, and a few bruised fingers. Read here for the prototype rest results: https://1199s.wordpress.com/2014/06/14/building-motorcycle-suspension-datalogger/ (too bad I...
