ducati 996 suspension settings

[nodrog:Me]

has anybody got any tips on setting up the suspension on a 996? i have adjusted it so it turns in and handles better but i am still getting headshake at high speed when hitting bumps in the road, especially mid corner. :unsure:

Check your Steering damper as well may need to be tightend up alittle more . Also check head set bearing for loosness . Hope these help

cheers for that, from memory those numbers are pretty close to what i have dialled in. just cleaned my shed up so i can actually jack the bike up to check the steering bearings without falling over all the crap i have acumulated.

Yea just did my GSXR's last week was feeling alittle vage under hard braking .
All sweet now just needed a 1mm tighter . PS just check you havent lost a front wheel Balance weight either .

checked my head stem bearings today they are sweet, think maybe i have lost a couple of weights, noticed today that the bars shake like shit at 100 when i take both hands off, due for a new front soon anyway so i might just leave it till then.
