Ducati S4 2002 Showa Adjustable Forks
 

I bought a set of Showa adjustable forks off of the 'bay from a 2002 S4 (apparently) for my red 620.

Can anyone give me a clue as to the "factory" base settings for compression and rebound and how to get to them!.......and if you have any settings for a short fat slow F*$&er like me? :lol:

Try these

...the man is a veritable mine! Cheers Kev.....thats a great start! I'm assuming compression is 1, preload is 2, and rebound is 3?

Think rebound is 1 and compression is 3. If these are sprung like my old SS1000 showas you'll likely need max preload to stop them bottoming out.

as Mac says
1=Rebound
3=Compression
2 = preload (which is just rideheight)

My S4 Monster forks are fitted with single rate 0.85kg/mm springs
