Rear suspension help - Ducati.ms

I pulled my rear spring to powder coat it black and like a dolt I forgot to measure the length prior to backing it out.

Does anyone know the length the spring should be on a standard model (sag measurement would work as well)

thanks

the link provided below will give you a great starting point, but feel free to search "sag" or "suspension setup" or the like. it offers a more rewarding experience, that's for sure.

research is fun!

I measured my sag based on that Youtube video and got ridiculously small numbers and though ahaa that's why my suspension is so harsh.

But then I figured the sag must include bike weight as well as my weight, so I need a starting number with the bike lifted up.

I'm and idiot... where's that tape measure.
