Adjusting The Rear Ride Height - Ducati MONSTER S4Rs Anleitung- Und Instandhaltungsheft

Adjusting the rear ride height (fig. 27-fig. 28-fig. 29)
The standard ride height setting is the result of tests carried
out in a wide variety of conditions by our technical staff.
Modifying the rear ride height is a very critical operation,
and can be dangerous if carried out by untrained persons.
Before changing the standard setting, measure the
reference value (H, fig. 27).
E
The rider can adjust the rear ride height to suit his/her
needs by changing the working position of the rear
shock absorber.
To alter the eye to eye length of the tie-rod (1), slacken the
locknuts (3).
Notes
Note that the lower nut (3) has a left-hand thread.
Rotate the tie-rod (2) with an open-ended wrench.
Once the tie-rod length is adjusted correctly, tighten
the nuts (3) to 25 Nm.
Warning
The length of the tie-rod (2) between the centres
of the two eyes (1) should not exceed 272 mm.
