Had a few moments tonight whilst out for a blast where if im pushing hard in a corner the bikes just wallowing, its holding its line but doesnt feel planted. Potential mid corners tank sappers are very unnerving. Even my mate who was following can see that its bouncing
I just dont know zip abut suspenson set ups. The preload and rebound on front & rear are set to hard.
Any help apriectated.

You could start by reading through this lot. It's based on a 996 / 748 setup, so the base settings may be slightly different, but the principles of setup remain the same.

If that's the case then the best place to start would be to put the suspension back to the factory settings as stated in the owner's manual and take it from there. Any work you do on the suspension has to assume it's in good working order - how many miles has it done? Also your tyres need to be decent and set to appropriate pressures - you're probably better off with the tyre manufacturer's suggestions as Ducati's are a bit on the low side.
