Now ive had a bit of experience of this with my various 748r and 998s. My 999 is diffrent as we dont have the rear eccentric hub to alter things.

So whos adjusted their rear ride height and to what length of the tie bar?

I thought the steering was a little slow as standard.I have wound my ride height adjuster out one and a half turns.I dot punched the adjuster for a referance mark.
As skidlids says,works for me!

funnily enough, just picked my 998s up from a service, and got them to do the front sprocket and the ride height ( the bottom nut was done up by some bolonga gorilla on steroids)

Got it back, and it handled like a whale ....

Looked at the tie bar, and they had managed to get the nut undone, but now it looked like its been attacked by metal Ebola, and they reduced the ride height by the two turns I had asked to be increased.

Luckily , now the remains of the nut can be done / done, the height is now adjusted to 2 turns from standard, and all of a sudden it's a nice bike again!

This is a fundemental Ducati thing as far as im concerned. Are we really saying no one else has adjusted their ride height on the 999 range?
