Ducati DESERTX, Owner'S Manual

Adjusting the rear shock absorber
The rear shock absorber has external controls that
enable you to adjust the setting in order to suit the
load on the motorcycle.
The adjuster (1), located on the lower mount which
fastens the shock absorber to the swinging arm,
adjusts the damping during the rebound phase
(return).
To gain access to rebound adjuster (1), bend
protection (4) backwards.
Note
The protection is flexible, anyway we
recommend bending it only as much as necessary to
gain access with the screwdriver.
The knob (2), located on the RH of the motorcycle,
adjusts the preload of the shock absorber external
spring.
