Adjusting Headstock Angle - Ducati 748R Manuel D'utilisation Et Entretien

Adjusting headstock angle (fig. 33.1)
Loosen the two screws (1) on the frame r.h. side to
adjust the headstock angle.
Fully unscrew the screw (2) and turn the headstock end
(3) by 180° with a pin wrench.
Check that the hole on the eccentric is in line with the
passing hole of the steering head. To this end an arrow
indicating the phase is punched onto the eccentric (upper
side). Fully tighten screw (2). Apply SHELL Retinax HDX2
on the thread of screws (1) and tighten to a torque of
22 Nm.
Note
While performing the above, the handlebars should
not be fully turned.
When finished, the steering damper must be
repositioned. Undo the screw (4, fig. 33.2). Move the
damper rod joint to the frame hole (5). Tighten the screw
(4) previously removed and apply medium-strength
threadlocker.
Important
The steering lock can be used only if the headstock
tube is positioned at 24°30'.
