Front fork adjusters
The Marzocchi fork of the Supersport is fully adjustable in rebound and compression hydraulic damping and in spring preload.
It is possible to adjust the spring preload on both legs, the compression and rebound can only be adjusted on the LH and RH legs, respectively.
Adjustment is done by external screw adjusters: In particular:

  1. For rebound adjustment;
  2. To adjust the preload of the inner springs;
  3. To adjust the compression damping.

Position the motorcycle on its side stand so that it is stable.
Turn adjuster (1) at the top end of the RH fork leg with a suitable screwdriver to adjust rebound. Turn adjuster (3) at the top end of the LH fork leg with a suitable screwdriver to adjust compression. By turning adjuster screws (1) and (3) you will hear some clicks; each click corresponds to a damping setting.
The stiffest damping setting is obtained with the adjuster turned fully clockwise to the “0” position. 2022 Ducati Supersport 950 Adjustments (4)

By turning counter clockwise starting from this position, count the clicks that will correspond to positions “1”, “2” etc.
To change preload of the spring inside each fork leg, turn adjusters (2) with a hexagon wrench, completely anticlockwise, to obtain fully uncompressed position. From this position, adjust the spring preload by turning the adjuster (2) clockwise. Every turn corresponds to 1 mm (0.04 in) of spring preload.

STANDARD settings are as follows:

  • Compression: 3 turns (from fully closed);
    Rebound: 3 turns (from fully closed);
    Spring preload: 5 turns (from fully unloaded).

Rear shock absorber adjusters
Supersport
The rear shock absorber has external adjusters that enable you to adjust the setting to suit the load on the motorcycle.
The adjuster (1) located on the left side, on the upper connection holding the shock absorber to the engine, adjusts the damping during the rebound phase (return).
Turn adjuster (1) clockwise to stiffen the damping, or counter clockwise to soften it.
Ring nuts (2) and (3), located in the shock absorber lower side, adjust the external spring preload.
To adjust the spring preload, loosen the bottom ring nut (3). Screwing or unscrewing the top ring nut (2) will increase or decrease the preload.
Once the spring preload is set, tighten the bottom ring nut (3).2022 Ducati Supersport 950 Adjustments (6)

STANDARD setting from the fully closed position (clockwise):

  • Rebound: loosen adjuster (1) by 1+1/4 turns (from fully closed position);
