My 2001 748s has an ohlins rear shock

What would be considered a standard road setting for this?

[Jools]

Standard settings are in the owners manual if you have it. If you don't have it you can get it from Ducati's website on www.ducati.com

Or because I'm nice, and I've looked it up, you can click this link

Thanks Jools - but the standard 2001 748s didnt come with the ohlins rear shock hence my question - did the ohlins appear on later model 748 bikes?

[JPM]

Came on the R models I believe

[loverobot]

will have a looky at the r model manual - should work out the same no?

[JPM]

No idea, but I am guessing the R's may have a different spring at a minimum being available in a mono only

[loverobot]

i reckon it is as per the settings on p26 as the 2002 748r carried the ohlins and has exactly the same standard settings as the 996 which i thing also had ohlins?

[keefer]

the 748sp and R came with ohlins and they had different maximum weights allowed. down to the fact that they were single seaters.
but the settings maybe the same. just the spring that's different ?
give it a go and see how it feels.

[loverobot]

will do - i have had a look at the ohlins site as well and got details of which shock it is supposed to be

[Bungi]

i may be wrong but...

the 748s didnt come with the ohlins rear .. as has been said so it would appear that somone has fiited it

this does not necesserly mean that they have fitted a new one, ie post 2001, they may have fitted one off an older model bike such as 916sps for example. the point is there are at two main types of ohlins rear shock which have differant damping curcuits and thus differant settings.

be sure you have the correct ones!!!!for your shock
