anyone have suspension numbers on the 1098/s yet?

[c.rod]

hey guys, im getting a 1098s. i wanted to know if anyone had the info on the shock/fork rates yet?

so i can get it set up for my weight. on the 999 i was heavy enough for the forks to be just about perfect. but i needed a new spring and re valve on the back...

thanks. i fig. it might be the same as the 999 series?

I just checked my crystal ball and the forks will have to be resprung and the shock is fine.

Well I just asked my magic 8 ball and it said "Try again later"

You guys are just mean, although I did check the Ouija board and it said the rates would come in time.

A little birdy told me I would have access to a 1098 to set up even before the press gets their hands on them. If that is indeed the case I will have set up numbers the day after that.


But, knowing what day I get to play with the bike is based on when it gets here. And I will bet dollars to donuts there is not one person at Ducati that could tell you when the first ones will get here without anything more to base their guess on than the lie the person who they asked told them when presented with the same question

Those bikes will be here and available later than Ducati says, and some time before the fall of 2007

sorry to be the first to tell you that you will not have the bikes before the press gets them, because they have already been tested and next months magazines will have the road tests.


by the way did you figure out the wheel base in your calculations on geometery? just curious if it is close to the 916.

the s models will be arriving in January with Tri colore and plain models following in feb and march

Well then I guess my little birdy lied to me.

And you prize for being "maybe right" is...............................nothing

I am sure they will also be posting their incredibly accurate setup data in those articles also.



There is nothing like data from guys who can hardly ride let alone set up a bike. I am looking forward to the articles.
