Frequently Asked Questions - Monster 659 ABS (2013) DUCATI

What type of oil should I use for my Ducati Monster 659 ABS?
Use a high-quality SAE 10W-40 motor oil that meets API SG or higher specifications. Synthetic or semi-synthetic oils are recommended for optimal performance.
How often should I change the oil and filter?
Change the engine oil and filter every 6,000 miles (10,000 km) or 12 months, whichever comes first. Frequent track use or harsh conditions may require shorter intervals.
What is the correct tire pressure for the Monster 659?
Recommended tire pressure is 2.3 bar (33 psi) for the front tire and 2.5 bar (36 psi) for the rear tire when cold. Adjust based on load and riding conditions.
How do I adjust the chain slack?
Chain slack should be 25-30 mm (1.0-1.2 in) measured at the midpoint of the chain's bottom run. Loosen the rear axle nut and adjust the chain tensioners evenly. Retighten to the specified torque (100 Nm).
What should I do if the ABS warning light stays on?
If the ABS light remains on after starting, there may be a system fault. Check wheel speed sensors for dirt or damage, and ensure the battery voltage is adequate. Consult a Ducati dealer if the issue persists.
How do I reset the maintenance reminder?
The maintenance reminder can be reset using the instrument panel buttons. Turn the ignition on, navigate to the service menu, hold the 'MENU' button until 'SERVICE' appears, then confirm reset. Refer to the manual for detailed steps.
What is the correct valve clearance for the Monster 659?
Valve clearances for the air-cooled L-twin are: intake 0.05-0.10 mm, exhaust 0.15-0.20 mm (when cold). Adjustment is required every 18,000 miles (30,000 km).
Can I install aftermarket parts on my Ducati?
Yes, but ensure aftermarket parts (exhaust, ECU, etc.) are compatible with the Monster 659 ABS and do not affect emissions compliance. Unauthorized modifications may void warranty or cause performance issues.
How do I check the engine oil level?
With the motorcycle on level ground and the engine warm, allow it to idle for a few minutes. Turn off the engine, wait 2 minutes, then check the dipstick. The level should be between the min and max marks.
What should I do if the engine overheats?
If the engine temperature warning light illuminates, stop the motorcycle safely, turn off the engine, and allow it to cool. Check coolant level (if water-cooled) or ensure air flow. For air-cooled engines, avoid prolonged idling and reduce load. Seek service if overheating persists.

General indications

Warranty

In your own interest, and in order to guarantee product reliability, you are strongly advised to refer to a Ducati Dealer or Authorised Service Centre for servicing that requires any particular technical expertise.

Our highly skilled staff have access to the implements required to perform any servicing job at best, and use Ducati original spare parts only as the best guarantee for full interchangeability, smooth running and long life.

All Ducati motorcycles come with a "Warranty Card". The warranty does not apply to motorcycles used in competitions or in cases where there is evidence of poor maintenance. No motorcycle part may be tampered with, altered, or replaced with parts other than original Ducati spare parts during the warranty period, or the warranty right will be automatically invalidated.

Warning

Read this section before riding your motorcycle.

Accidents are frequently due to inexperience. Always make sure you have your licence with you when riding; you need a valid licence to be entitled to ride your motorcycle.

Do not lend your motorcycle to inexperienced riders or who do not hold a valid licence.

Both rider and pillion passenger must ALWAYS wear a safety helmet.

Wear proper clothing, with no loose items or accessories that may become tangled in the controls or limit your zone of vision.

Never start or run the engine indoors. Exhaust gases are poisonous and may lead to loss of consciousness or even death within a short time.

Both rider and pillion passenger should keep their feet on the footpegs when the motorcycle is in motion.

ALWAYS hold the handlebars firmly with both hands so you will be ready for sudden changes in direction or in the road surface. The pillion passenger should ALWAYS hold on to the grabhandles under the seat with both hands.

Ride within the law and observe national and local rules.

Always respect speed limits where these are indicated and ALWAYS adapt your speed to suit the current visibility, road and traffic conditions.

ALWAYS signal your intention to turn or pull to the next lane in good time using the suitable turn signals.

Be sure you are clearly visible and do not ride within the blind spot of vehicles ahead.

Be very careful when tackling road junctions, or when riding in the areas near exits from private grounds, car parks or on slip roads to access motorways.

ALWAYS turn off the engine when refuelling.

Be extremely careful not to spill fuel on the engine or on the exhaust pipe when refuelling.

Do not smoke when refuelling.

While refuelling, you may inhale noxious fuel vapours.

Should any fuel drops be spilled on your skin or clothing, immediately wash with soap and water and change your clothing.

ALWAYS remove the key when you leave your motorcycle unattended.

The engine, exhaust pipes, and silencers stay hot for a long time.

DUCATI Monster 659 ABS (2013) - Warning - 1

Warning

The exhaust system might be hot, even after engine is switched off; take special care not to touch exhaust system with any part of your body and do not park the motorcycle next to inflammable material (wood, leaves etc.).

Park your motorcycle where no one is likely to hit it and use the side stand.

Never park on uneven or soft ground, or your motorcycle may fall over.

Carrying the maximum load allowed

Your motorcycle is designed for long-distance riding, carrying the maximum load allowed in full safety.

Even weight distribution is critical to preserving these safety features and avoiding trouble when performing sudden manoeuvres or riding on bumpy roads.

Information about carrying capacity

The total weight of the motorcycle in running order including rider, pillion passenger, luggage and additional accessories should not exceed 390 kg.

Arrange your luggage or heavy accessories in the lowest possible position and close to motorcycle centre.

Be sure to secure the luggage to the supports provided on the motorcycle as firmly as possible. Luggage incorrectly secured may cause the motorcycle to become unstable.

Never fix bulky or heavy objects to the handlebar or to the front mudguard as this would affect stability and cause danger.

Do not insert any objects you may need to carry into the gaps of the frame as these may foul moving parts.

Make sure the tyres are inflated to the proper pressure indicated at page 103 and that they are in good condition.

Headlight "smart" auto-off

This function helps reduce battery use by automatically switching off the headlight. The device is enabled in three instances:

  • 1) When the key is turned from OFF to ON and the engine is not started within 60 seconds, the headlight is turned off and will be turned back on next time you start the engine.
  • in case 2, after the vehicle has been running with the headlights on and the engine is stopped using the RUN-STOP button on the RH switch.
    In this case, 60 seconds after stopping the engine, the headlight is turned off and will be turned back on next time you start the engine.
  • 3) While starting up the engine, the headlight is turned off and back on as soon as the engine is started.

Intelligent headlight switch-on

This function allows programmed activation of the headlight even with the motorcycle off (Key-Off).

The instrument panel stays active for 60 seconds soon after Key-Off, and the headlight can be switched on by pressing switch (1, fig. 10) in position A "▲" or B "▼".

During these 60 seconds, each time switch (1, fig. 10) is pressed in position A “▲” or B “▼”, the instrument panel will activate the headlight for 30 seconds; each press of the switch will add to the headlight activation time, up to a maximum of 6 presses (equivalent to a maximum activation time of 180 seconds).

After the first time you press switch (1, fig. 10) in position A “▲” or B “▼”, the period of 30 seconds starts, thus switching on the headlight. Further switch-on time can be added only if you press the switch again within these 30 seconds. If the 30 seconds have elapsed, no further multiples of 30 seconds can be added, and the instrument panel will switch off the headlight.

To reset this function, you must perform at least one Key-On/Key-Off.

If the battery power is interrupted at any time while this function is active, when power is restored, the instrument panel will deactivate the function (the instrument panel does not remain active for 60 seconds).

The Immobilizer system

For additional antitheft protection, the motorcycle is equipped with an IMMOBILIZER, an electronic system that locks the engine automatically whenever the ignition switch is turned off.

Accommodated in the handgrip of each ignition key is an electronic device that modulates an output signal. This signal is generated by a special antenna incorporated in the switch when the ignition is turned on and changes every time. The modulated signal represents the "password" (which is changed at each start-up) by which the ECU recognizes the ignition key. The ECU will only allow the engine to start if it recognises this password.

Keys (fig. 32)

The Owner receives a set of keys comprising:

- 2 (BLACK) keys B

These keys contain the "immobilizer system code"

DUCATI Monster 659 ABS (2013) - Keys (fig. 32) - 1

Warning

Keep the CODE CARD in a safe place. However, it is advisable to keep the electronic code printed on the CODE CARD handy when you ride your motorcycle, in case it is necessary to enable the engine through the procedure described below. This procedure lets you disable the "engine block" function - indicated by the amber yellow "Vehicle/ engine Diagnosis EOBD" light (8, fig. 3) coming on - in the event of problems with the immobilizer system. But this operation can be carried out only if the electronic code indicated on the code card is known.

each time you press the switch in position B “▼”, the number increases cyclically in steps of one digit every second;

if you press the switch in position A “▲”, you can set the second digit, which will start flashing. Each time you press the switch in position B “▼”, the number increases cyclically in steps of one digit every second;

if you press the switch in position A “▲”, you can set the third digit, which will start flashing. Each time you press the switch in position B “▼”, the number increases cyclically in steps of one digit every second;

if you press the switch in position A “▲”, you can set the fourth digit, which will start flashing. Each time you press the switch in position B “▼”, the number increases cyclically in steps of one digit every second;

if you press the switch in position A “▲”, you can set the fifth digit, which will start flashing. Each time you press the switch in position B “▼”, the number increases cyclically in steps of one digit every second;

press in position A "▲" to confirm the code.

If the code has been entered correctly, the message CODE and the code itself will flash simultaneously for 4 seconds.

The "Vehicle/engine diagnosis EOBD" light (8, fig. 4) will turn off; The instrument panel then automatically exits the menu, thus allowing "temporary" starting of the motorcycle. If the error is still present, at the next Key-On the instrument panel error and the inhibited status will persist.

If the code is not entered correctly, the instrument panel returns automatically to the "COD" menu, displaying code "00000".

Operation

When the ignition key is turned to OFF, the immobilizer inhibits engine operation. When the ignition key is turned back to ON to start the engine, the following happens: 1) if the code is recognised, the immobilizer enables engine ignition. Press the START button (2, fig. 42), to start the engine; 2) if the "Vehicle/Engine Diagnosis - EOBD" light (8, fig. 4) comes on and the page with the "Error" message is displayed when you press switch (1, fig. 10) in position B "▼" it means that the code was not recognised. When this is the case, turn the ignition key back to OFF and then to ON again. If the engine still does not start, try with another black key. If the other key does not work out either, contact the Ducati Service network.

Riding the motorcycle

Running-in recommendations

Maximum rpm (fig. 55)

Rotation speed for running-in period and during standard use (rpm):

1) Up to 1000 km
2) From 1000 to 2500 km

0 ÷ 1.000 Km 1.000 ÷ 2.500 Km LAPEROS AM/MTRIP/FUELLOT 034 OTC mph km/h fig. 55

Up to 1000 km

During the first 1000 km, keep an eye on the rev counter. It should never exceed 5,500-6,000 rpm.

During the first hours of riding, it is advisable to continuously vary the load on the engine and the rpm, though still keeping within the above limits.

To this end, roads with plenty of bends and even slightly hilly areas are ideal for a most efficient running-in of engine, brakes and suspensions.

For the first 100 km, use the brakes gently. Do not brake violently or keep brake applied for too long. This will enable a correct break-in of the friction material on the brake pads against the brake discs.

For all mechanical parts of the motorcycle to adapt to one another and above all not to adversely affect the life of basic engine parts, it is advisable to avoid harsh accelerations and not to run the engine at high rpm for too long, especially uphill.

Furthermore, the drive chain should be inspected frequently. Lubricate as required.

From 1000 to 2500 km

At this point, you can ask for more power from the engine, being careful, however, never to exceed 7,000 rpm.

DUCATI Monster 659 ABS (2013) - From 1000 to 2500 km - 1

Important During the whole running-in period, the maintenance and service rules recommended in the Warranty Card should be observed carefully. Failure to comply with these rules will release Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A. from any liability whatsoever for resulting engine damage or shorter engine life.

Strict observance of running-in recommendations will ensure longer engine life and reduce the likelihood of overhauls and tune-ups.

Pre-ride checks

Warning Failure to carry out these checks before riding, may lead to motorcycle damage and injury to rider and passenger.

Before riding, perform a thorough check-up on your bike as follows:

FUEL LEVEL IN THE TANK

Warning (for Monster 659 ABS only)

Prolonged rearing could deactivate the ABS system.

Braking

Slow down in time, shift down to engine-brake first and then brake applying both brakes. Pull in the clutch lever before the motorcycle comes to a stop to prevent the engine stalling.

ABS device (for Monster 659 ABS only)

Using the brakes correctly under adverse conditions is the hardest – and yet the most critical – skill to master for a rider. Braking is one of the most difficult and dangerous moments when riding a two wheeled vehicle: the possibility of falling or having an accident during this difficult moment is statistically higher than any other moment. A locked front wheel leads to loss of traction and stability, resulting in loss of control.

The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) has been developed to enable riders to use the vehicles braking force to the fullest possible amount in emergency braking or under poor pavement or adverse weather conditions.

ABS uses hydraulics and electronics to limit pressure in the brake circuit when a special sensor mounted to the wheel signals the electronic control unit that the wheel is about to lock up.

This avoids wheel lockup and preserves traction. Pressure is raised back up immediately and the control unit keeps controlling the brake until the risk of a lockup disappears. Normally, the rider will perceive ABS operation as a harder feel or a pulsation of the brake lever and pedal.

The front and rear brakes use separate control systems, meaning that they operate independently. Likewise, the ABS is not an integral braking system and does not control both the front and rear brake at the same time.

If desired, the system can be deactivated from the instrument panel, using the “ABS disabling function” (see page 38).

Warning With the AB

With the ABS system deactivated, the vehicle maintains the characteristics of the standard braking system, therefore the use of only one of the brakes reduces the motorcycle's braking efficiency. Using only one of the brakes will give you less braking power, as you may lock the wheels and lose control of the motorcycle. When riding in the rain or on slippery surfaces, braking capacity is significantly reduced. Always use the brakes very gently and carefully when riding under these conditions. Any sudden manoeuvres may lead to loss of control.

When tackling long, steep downhill road tracts, shift down gears to use engine braking. Apply one brake at a time and use brakes sparingly. Keeping the brakes applied all the time would cause the friction material to overheat and reduce braking power dangerously. Tyre inflation pressures below the specified value will reduce braking efficiency, and compromise steering precision and roadholding on bends.

DUCATI Monster 659 ABS (2013) - Warning With the AB - 1

Stopping the motorcycle (fig. 61)

Reduce speed, shift down and release the throttle twistgrip. Then, shift down releasing the clutch, and finally change from first to neutral. Apply the brakes and bring the motorcycle to a complete stop. To switch the engine off, simply turn the key to (2).
