Changing Motorcycle Track Alignement - Ducati 998 Anleitung- Und Instandhaltungsheft

Changing motorcycle track alignment (fig. 30)
Motorcycle track alignment is the result of tests carried
out under different riding conditions by our technical
staff.
Modifying factory setting is a very delicate operation,
which may lead to serious damages if carried out by
unskilled people.
Before changing standard setting, measure the reference
value (H, fig. 29).
E
The rider can modify track alignment according to his/her
needs by changing working position of the shock
absorber.
Loosen lock nuts (3) to change ball joints (1) distance
between centers.
Note
Be careful because lower nut (3) has a left thread.
Fit an open-end wrench to the hexagon portion of linkage
(2) and turn.
When finished, tighten the nuts (3) to 25 Nm.
Warning
Length of linkage (2), included between the two
joint center lines (1), should not exceed 261 mm.
