Hi all, I'm new to the Ducati scene, just picked up my new Pani 1199 s dark stealth & I have to say its bloody awesome (even tho i'm only running in). I have come from a KTM RC8R which was an amazing bike, The Pani is equally a joy to ride but with loads more grunt. I do have one question to ask tho. Is there a way of raising the rear end ride height? I know how to change between flat & progressive but will the progressive make the rear higher or do I just wind the adjuster out??? Cheers.
Hi, I came from RC8R myself and find the Pani in a different league. Changing from Flat to Progressive doesn't alter the ride height as far as I know. Not sure you can adjust the ride height easily, sure someone will come along soon. Out of interest - why do you feel it needs the ride height altered?
I loved the way the 8 turned in, I have dropped the forks 5mm n just wanted the rear up a little, I did this on the 8 n it cornered superbly, the Pani is lush but just wanna do a little tweaking if possible.
Here you are Jay. Just take off the small triangular plastic cover on the fairing covering the end of the shock and you will see this:
Cheers Jimmy, I was very lucky, ive liked them for ages n when I saw the matt black in the flesh with all the extras i fell in love with it. It really is a fantastic bit of kit, apart from the wafer thin paint, got loads of stone chips on it after 1 outing, im having the paint sorted tomorrow & now have a full matt venturahield kit, I should have done this before I rode it, Silly sod :Banghead: lol.
Can't beat Ventureshield, the best bike condom money can buy. All my babes are covered in it ! It really is awesome.
U can change the geometry of the bike quickly & easily, i set up my own bikes & ive found for me on this bike ive dropped the forks through 6mm & it turns in a lot quicker, almost how I like it, the adjustment on the rear will make the bike slightly shorter & will turn even better, for me anyway.
