I would go as far as to say, anyone that owns a Ducati should have it set up for themselves straight away. |
Agreed Andy but the good old owners handbook doesn't say that it might be unsafe. I always aceept that i have to swap springs out as i'm not the average weight bike makers use for suspension but to spend 10 -20 K on a bike then have to work on it to a lot of folk is crazy, they just expect that it'll work and be safe to use. Ultimate performance does require adjustments but should you need to do that to have a safe bike?? the real problem lies with the deep sump bit which does hand down a long way below belly pan.
As bikes leave factory the front is quite high as is the rear so in theory provided spring isn't bottoming out it should be ok, if you drop forks through 4 lines and set rear to 285 then i guess thats the owners fault if it does catch.
