How to Adjust the Ducati Streetfighter V4s Front Fork Preload

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Hi this video is to illustrate how I did end up adjusting the front fork Preload on the Street Fighter V4s 2021. This steps is very necessary to help the semi active suspension of the bike to behave accordingly. Is not a super technical video but is realistic enough to show how to get to adjust the front fork preload. Hey if I can do it you can do it as well.

    So how much preload did it have to start with? Before you adjust you have to know how many turns it has, how many turns in total and you have to ensure that both sides have the same amount of preload to start with. You also have to measure the free travel and static of the forks before you start adjusting.

    Hey Jay, so from start it was around 12 turns in. I dont have the notes with me at the moment but I believe the total turns are 17 1/4. In terms of SAG and others of course everybody is different I setup my to my weight at that moment and now I'm redoing again to fit my current weight for this season. For this season I also changed the front and rear springs + different oil Viscosity. Just for expectations purposes the video is not intended to illustrate how to adjust your motorcycle suspension to your own ride style the video is intended to show where to adjust the front fork preload of the SFv4s as it was not that obvious so I want to share. If you are looking to adjust the whole suspension check the #calimoto video that have dave moss talking about the settings. However the same principles apply where static sag and preload needs to be completed and is per rider weight and riding style needs.

    @@jaykay1168 thank you for pointing that out. Is the first video that I do like that. In my thought process I assumed that if somebody will attempt to adjust the preload is because they have some sort of sense of what they are doing. But is a good call out on the next one I will start with that disclaimer.

    Just got a 22 Panigale V4S and the preload is Cadillac soft. I’m 230lbs so I guess it’s me but yeah I need to do this. Totally out of wack.

    Yeah, in your case I would recommend check with your local dealer and explore the idea of changing your springs and fork oil to match your weight

    @@sportbikesadventures2354 I’m told the fork preload comes soft, the rear shock is perfect after messing with the DES settings (I think that’s what it’s called, can’t remember), my stock ZX10R suspension is perfect and it’s not even close to the max setting. I ride pretty hard, all the rotors plus tires on my bikes and cars are all quite colorful.
