Title: 696 Monoshock
Post by: duc4speed on July 21, 2008, 10:10:01 PM
Does anyone with more wrench experience then me know the proper way to adjust the rear monoshock on the 696.  I'm not sure what the proper way to tell if the shock is set right. (for weight, ride type, etc.)

People have mentioned the Ducati Alvaredo shop as where you can go to get this done. The owner, Jeff Nash is a racer and should be able to help.

do a search, there is a thread with info, and morel links to how you can properly set up your suspension. Its the same for all bikes, you just may not have a setting, or it might be in a slightly different position. It requires 2 people to do.

Thanks for the info.  I've actually heard of Nash.  A high end car dealership here in Oklahoma use to have the Ducati/MVAgusta dealership here before they sold it to someone else here.  Family owned...  Basically to make a long story short.  The owner of the car dealership is the ex husband of one of my clients.  The owner was on one of Ducati's race teams.  I think they said Ferragamo.  I hope I got that right.  They said Alvarado, TX is  definitely the place to have your Ducati worked on.

The shop is in Alvarado, TX.  I think it's near Ft. Worth?
