suspension

Fellas, As we all like to spread the word about potential safety issues with our 1199's, i am doing the same now. Today during a ride on a local freeway, my suspension linkage rod snapped. It sheared right at the middle at the thinnest part of the rod. Thanks to baby Jesus in his tuxedo suit...

Just spent the morning at JHP Ducati Coventry getting my suspension setup. Basically found the original settings to stiff no matter what I tried and with UK roads being so bumpy it unsettled the bike when I was pushing on. I not really a trackday person but will attempt the odd one so most...

THE BIKE: Pani S, stock. ME: This is where it gets tricky.. I'm a big fat MF. 120kg. 265lbs? THE SKILLZ: Decent rider, fast-ish.. Have chicken strips, but they're small. THE RIDE: What most of you would call "canyon" or "Mulholland" style roads mostly, with some mild / moderate bumps to...

Just like to share my setup. Dialed in for aggressive street / trackday setup. 155lb rider including gear Front: Preload - Zero preload, about 41mm sag Compression - 12 clicks out Rebound - 5 clicks out Rear Prelaod - 3 Threads showing, about 26mm sag Compression - 12 clicks out...

Has anyone made any modifications to their 'S' front suspension? Wondering whether there is anything that can be done for the heavier rider with the front end. The new spring at the rear and sag set correctly have made a big difference.

anyone here hear about new suspension on 2013 model? its meant to match the BMW HP4 its called ducati skyhook can anyone explain what this does?

Anyone have a good baseline for the suspension on the non S versions. Friend just picked one up and I am going to help him with some adjustments and figured I would see what others are running. Based on what I have seen on this and other threads guys seem to like the P setting for street...

I just took my possession of my 1199S on friday and have trolling the threads to see what changes anyone has made to their DES, to not much luck. So if anyone can help..? Have got the rear in 'P' but still find it quite firm. I'm 95kg/210lbs and would love to hear any recommendations on a...

Hi guys, Just wanted to share the email thread I had with Dan Kyle at Kyle Racing on the Monterey Peninsula. Dan is a big Ohlins dealer-he's offering a combo kit of a fork cartridge kit + a TTX shock for $2275 plus shipping. He'll do the installation for $200. As of last week he had...

Hey there just bought a 2012 -1199 Panigale. Got about 400 miles on it but front folk susspension is so tight it's killing my wrist (both left and right). Has anyone experienced the same issues? Have made any changes? Have any suggestions, regarding adjustments? What about the rear...

Read the pages in the book, but maybe I'm just too stupid to understand how the hell I get a softer suspension. For the fronts I'm pretty sure I should counter clock turn the "screw" on top, and then same counter turn at the bottom part of the fork. But how do I set up the rear shock to be...

Hey, Now that there is a few base models out there, has anyone figured out a good suspension setting for the road and track?

I picked my bike up from the dealer last week and rode away with my suspension set to "Flat". I knew it was on flat and wanted to try it out before changing it to "progressive". After a few days I took my bike back to the shop to have my suspension changed over to progressive. When the mechanics...

I come to read my manual after having my bike for a little over 3 weeks that my suspension is set to FLAT after I told the dealer to set it to PROGRESSIVE like its recommended by Ducati. I was assured that it WAS in PROGRESSIVE mode and cared not to check for myself this entire time. WTF :mad:

Hey everyone, I picked up my Pani S last Thursday and because of ...... Chicago weather have only been able to put 180 miles on the bike. I wanted to start a thread about what set ups (damping, rebound, spring rate, rider weight [bumpy, smooth, rough, road use]) people are putting on the...

Having never ridden a bike with ohlins before and seeing that I'm getting the tri, I just wanted to get some feedback on guys who has ridden a bike (not necessarily a duc) and how it compares with standard suspension. FYI I rode an 08 R1 before with stock suspension. Never thought that it...

The new ohlins suspension is electronically adjusted on the 1199S and Tricolor edition using the ECU of the bike. Does anybody know if its possible to disconnect the suspension and replace it with aftermarket shocks and forks without a problem?
