JPM have you ever bottomed your sump out, I havnt.

I think the personalising of the suspension is key here. To say Ducati have got it wrong, well it is a well known fact the rear 64 spring is too light for the majority.

Although that is the same as a 998 mono rear, the bikes weigh a similar weight, and a similar group of the public ride/own them.

I dont know of any 996r-998r deep sump models to have bottomed out??
