748 suspension settings/alarm. setup help please

hi all.

wahay!!!! i've just returned to ducati ownership after my last one got pinched as yesterday i took possession of a black 748 BP. i would be very, very grateful for a bit of advice on 2 issues:

1) i'd like to change the suspension settings in order to make the steering a bit quicker and to generally make the suspension a bit softer. i know where all the relevant adjusters are located, but want to pick your brains to see if anyone can recommend a starting point for such a setup. it's a 1998 bike and i'm about 11 stone btw. also, i don't want to jack up the rear ride height as i feel this would place too much weight over the front, and i don't want to buy any extra parts, so if possible i'd like to achieve the results through altering the steering head angle and making changes to damping rates etc.

2) the bike is fitted with a ducati security system (spyball). after arming the alarm, it goes off by itself. the dealer declared this fault before i bought the bike, so it's not a big issue, but before i shell out for a new alarm i just want to know if there is any way of repairing or at least working around this fault.

any advice gratefully received.

cheers and "hi" to anyone who knows me from visordown!
