Anyway... here's a simple guide Motorcycle Suspension Set-up

You need to remember though that HM forks have greater overall travel than sports bikes so static sag will be in a greater range. There are some good posts on ducati.ms on this. Alternatively you could take it to a suspension specialist. I intend to do this with mine in the winter. Ah yes....also...you need to make sure your tyres are pretty newish and correctly inflated before you start fiddling..

Understood, thanks for the set-up sheet too.
