Ducati 1000LE - Rear Suspension Settings

My rear suspension had been changed from standard and I had forgotten by how much, the settings as standard I wasn't a fan of and while the changed settings helped, they wheren't perfect.

I spent about 2 hours and a tank of fuel riding along a local road that is perfect for setting suspension up as it has a number of different type of corners and surfaces. I wound both compression and rebound down to thier softest setting and worked my way towards the standard setting from there. The one setting that felt almost perfect was 8 clicks on both towards hard from the stop on soft.

There is a slight loss of feel on turn in and it can feel stiff below 30-35mph, but everywhere else it's perfect for me. And even just one click above or below on either adjuster on this shock doesn't feel right so if anyone tries it, you'll know when you've found it. :wink:
