Sports: Re: [DucatiST] Multistrada ground clearance

Thanks for your reply Mark.

I need to get a bit of time to check out whether I can raise it up a bit, it's just way too low at present. Part of the issue is perhaps that the rear spring is probably a little too soft two-up (and neither of us are that heavy), so that might be something I need to address. The rear preload is wound all the way up, so I might see if I can adjust the tie-bar too, to give a bit more height.

Would love to have the excuse to de-cat the exhaust too....

If you have a different exhaust, the centre stand stop can be higher, with the stand higher and more clearance.

With the stock one I think you can modify it to ride higher.

Of course, slowing down on the corners is not an option.

Oh yeah, if you have an early Multi, there was a recall to install the 2005 and up side stands- quite a bit better.

> Is anyone else getting ground clearance issues with the centre stand on the Multistrada? Mine is only an issue two-up, but it's pretty annoying. I can't get rid of it, because the side stand is too unstable, but it's seriously spoiling my fun round the twisties.
