Ducati ST4S ABS Owner'S Manual Download Page 37

Page: 37 / 96

Warning

The shock absorber is filled with gas under

pressure and may cause severe damage if taken apart by
unskilled persons.

Important

When carrying a passenger and luggage, set the

rear shock absorber spring to proper preload to improve
motorcycle handling and keep safe clearance from the
ground. You may find that rebound damping needs
adjusting as well.
