Frequently Asked Questions - Multistrada 1200S ABS DUCATI

How can I download the Ducati Multistrada 1200S ABS manual?
The manual is available for free download in PDF format on notice-facile.com. Simply go to the product page and click the download button.
What is the recommended engine oil for this motorcycle?
Ducati recommends using Shell Advance 4T Ultra 15W-50 or equivalent fully synthetic oil meeting API SN/SM and JASO MA2 standards.
How often should I change the oil?
Oil change interval is every 12,000 km (7,500 miles) or 12 months, whichever comes first. Severe use may require more frequent changes.
What tire pressure is recommended?
For solo riding, front: 2.3 bar (33 psi), rear: 2.5 bar (36 psi). For loaded or two-up, increase rear to 2.8 bar (40 psi). Always check cold.
How do I adjust the chain tension?
Place the motorcycle on a stand. Chain slack should be 25-30 mm (1-1.2 in) at the midpoint. Loosen the axle nut and adjust both sides evenly. Torque axle nut to 100 Nm.
What is the valve adjustment interval?
Valve clearance inspection and adjustment is required every 24,000 km (15,000 miles). It is recommended to have this done by a Ducati dealer.
How do I use the ABS system on this bike?
The Bosch 9ME ABS is always active. It can be disabled for off-road use via the dash menu. Rear ABS can be set to 'Off-Road' mode for controlled slides.
What is the correct coolant type?
Use a pre-mixed ethylene glycol-based coolant suitable for aluminum engines, such as Ducati Coolant or equivalent, diluted with distilled water to 50/50.
How do I reset the service light?
Service light reset requires a diagnostic tool (e.g., DDS or MotoScan). It is not a user-resettable function; visit a Ducati dealer or use compatible software.
Where can I find spare parts?
Genuine parts are available through Ducati dealers and online retailers like Ducati.com. Use the parts manual (included in the PDF) for reference numbers.

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 the tools required to perform any servicing job to the highest professional standards, using only Ducati original spare parts to ensure full interchangeability, smooth running and long life.

All Ducati motorcycles come with a Warranty Booklet. However, the warranty does not apply to motorcycles used in competitions. If any motorcycle part is tampered with, modified, or replaced with parts other than original Ducati spare parts during the warranty period, the warranty is automatically invalidated.

Symbols

Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A. advises you to read this manual carefully in order to become familiar with your motorcycle. If in doubt, please contact a Ducati Dealer or Authorised Service Centre. The information contained herein will prove useful on your trips - and Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A. wishes you smooth, enjoyable riding - and will help you keep the performance of your motorcycle unchanged for a long time.

Useful information for safe riding

DUCATI Multistrada 1200S ABS - Useful information for safe riding - 1

Warning

Read this section before riding your motorcycle.

Many accidents are the result of the inexperience of the rider. Always make sure you have your licence with you; you need a valid licence that entitles you to ride a motorcycle.

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

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

Do not wear loose clothes or accessories that could become entangled in the controls or limit your field of vision.

Never start or run the engine indoors. Exhaust gases are toxic 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 of direction or in the road surface. The pillion passenger should ALWAYS hold on to the strap onto passenger seat with both hands.

Ride within the law and observe national and local rules.

ALWAYS respect speed limits where these are posted.

However, ALWAYS adjust your speed to the visibility, road and traffic conditions you are riding in.

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 at road junctions, or when riding in areas near exits from private land or car parks, or on the slip roads to 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, it is possible to 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 remain hot for a long time.

DUCATI Multistrada 1200S ABS - Warning - 1

Warning

The exhaust system may still be hot even after engine is switched off; take special care not to touch the 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 knock against 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 travelling over long distances with a full load in complete safety. Even weight distribution is critical to preserving these safety features and avoiding trouble when performing sudden manoeuvres or riding on bumpy roads.

DUCATI Multistrada 1200S ABS - Carrying the maximum load allowed - 1

Warning

The maximum speed permitted with the side panniers, top case and the tank bag fitted must not exceed 180 km/h.

DUCATI Multistrada 1200S ABS - Warning - 1

Warning

Do not exceed the total permitted weight for the motorcycle and pay attention to information provided below regarding load capacity.

Information on load capacity

The total weight of the motorcycle in running order including rider, passenger, luggage and additional accessories should not exceed: 430 kg.

DUCATI Multistrada 1200S ABS - Information on load capacity - 1

Warning

The total weight permitted for the side panniers, top case and the tank bag must never exceed 35 kg, divided as follows:

10 kg max. per side pannier; 10 kg max for the top case; 5 kg max. for the tank bag.

DUCATI Multistrada 1200S ABS - Warning - 1

Important

Arrange your luggage or heavy accessories in the lowest possible position and close to motorcycle centre. Secure the luggage firmly to the motorcycle structure. Luggage incorrectly secured may cause the motorcycle to become unstable.

Never attach bulky or heavy objects to the top yoke or front mudguard, as this would cause dangerous instability. Do not insert objects into gaps in the frame, where they could interfere with moving parts.

If the side panniers are fitted (available upon request from the Ducati spare parts service), divide the baggage and accessories based on their weight and place them uniformly inside the side panniers. Lock both side panniers using the suitable key lock.

Make sure the tyres are inflated to the proper pressure indicated at page 159 and that they are in good condition.

"RANGE" indicator - remaining range

This function indicates the distance that can be travelled with the fuel currently in the tank.

The calculation is made based on the fuel level and an average consumption in reference to the last 90 seconds of driving (not the average fuel consumption "CONS M.").

If you refuel adding more than 4 litres of fuel with the vehicle switched off (Key-Off), at the subsequent Key-On, the remaining range reading will be updated instantaneously and will be calculated based on the new fuel level and an average fuel consumption of 18.0 Km/L; otherwise (that is, if you add less than 4 litres) the reading will only be updated after the vehicle is in movement (not instantaneously).

When the range arrives to "0" the indication will flash together with the symbol (motorcycle + fuel pump).

"Riding Style" function (riding style change)

This function changes the motorcycle riding style.

Each riding style is associated with a different intervention level of the traction control (DTC - Ducati Traction Control) and different engine power and output.

For the "S" version with electronic suspension, each riding style change is also associated with different motorcycle setup.

To change the motorcycle riding style, press the reset button once (14, fig. 4) and the "SET UP" menu will appear on the circular display (B, fig. 6).

The desired riding style can be selected by pressing the same reset button multiple times (14, fig. 4). Press the same button for 3 seconds to confirm the riding style.

If the twistgrip is closed (vehicle stopped) the riding style change will occur immediately; if the twistgrip grip is open (vehicle moving) the message "CLOSE THROTTLE TO ACTIVATE" will appear on the display, which means that the throttle must be closed; this message will appear for 5 seconds, during which the gas must be closed in order to activate the new riding style.

If the twistgrip is not closed after 5 seconds, the procedure is aborted (no change is made).

If the "SET UP" menu is activated and the rest button is not pressed (14, fig. 4) for 10 consecutive seconds, the instrument panel will automatically exit the display mode without making any change.

The instrument panel will send the disabling request ("WAIT...." will appear on the circular display (B, fig. 6) for 6 seconds) and then if ABS is actually disabled, "DISABLED" will appear on the circular display (B, fig. 6).

The ABS light (10, fig. 3) signals the disabling, switching from an "off" status to "flashing".

To reenable the ABS system, turn the motorcycle off and on (Key-Off/Key-On).

Tips on how to select the sensitivity level

DUCATI Multistrada 1200S ABS - Tips on how to select the sensitivity level - 1

Warning

The 8 level settings of the DTC were calibrated using tyres of the same make, model and size as those originally fitted to the motorcycle.

The use of tyres of different size to the original tyres may alter the operating characteristics of the system.

In the case of minor differences, such as for example, tyres of a different make and/or model than the original, but with the same dimensions (rear = 190/55-17; front = 120/70-17), it may be sufficient to simply select the most suitable level setting from those available to restore optimal system operation.

If tyres of a different size class are used or if the tyre dimensions differ significantly from the original tyres, it may be that the system operation is affected to the point where none of the 8 available level settings will give satisfactory results.

In this case is it is advisable to deactivate the traction control system.

If level 8 is selected, the DTC control unit will kick in at the slightest hint that the rear wheel is starting to spin.

Between level 8 and level 1 there are a further 6 intermediate levels. The level of DTC intervention decreases in equal steps from level 8 to level 1.

When levels 1, 2 or 3 is selected the DTC control unit will allow the rear wheel to spin and also slide sideways on exiting a corner; we recommend that this setting is only used by very experienced riders.

The choice of the correct level depends on 3 main variables:

1) The grip (type of tyre, amount of tyre wear, the road/track surface, weather conditions, etc.)
2) The characteristics of the path/circuit (bends all taken at similar speeds or at very different speeds)
3) The riding style (whether the rider has a "smooth" or a "rough" style)

The relation of the DTC intervention level to grip conditions: The choice of level setting depends greatly on the grip conditions of the track/circuit (see below, tips for use on the track and on the road).

The relation of the DTC intervention level to the circuit characteristics:

If all the corners on the track/circuit can be taken at a similar speed, it will be easier to find an intervention level that is satisfactory for every bend; on the other hand, if the track has, for example, one corner that is much slower than all the others, it will necessary to find a compromise level (on the slow corner the DTC will tend to control more than on the faster corners).

The relation of the DTC intervention level to riding style: The DTC will tend to kick in more with a “smooth” riding style, where the bike is leaned over further, rather than with a “rough” style, where the bike is straightened up as quickly as possible when exiting a turn.

Tips for use on the track

We recommend level 8 be used for a couple of full laps (to allow the tyres to warm up) in order to get used to the system. Then try levels 7, 6, etc., in succession until you identify the DTC intervention level that suits you best (always try each level for at least two laps to allow the tyres to warm up).

Once you have found a satisfactory setting for all the corners except one or two slow ones, where the system tends to kick in and control too much, you can try to modify your riding style slightly to a more “rough” approach to cornering i.e. straighten up more rapidly on exiting the corner, instead of immediately trying a different level setting.

Tips for use on the road

Activate the DTC, select level 8 and ride the motorcycle in your usual style; if the level of DTC intervention seems excessive, try reducing the setting to levels 7, 6, etc., until you find the level that suits you best. If changes in the grip conditions and/or circuit characteristics and/or your riding style, and the level setting is no longer suitable, switch to the next level up or down and proceed as described above to determine the best setting (e.g. if with level 7 the DTC intervention seems excessive, switch to level 6; alternatively, if on level 7 you cannot perceive any DTC intervention, switch to level 8).

LAP registration function

This function describes the "LAP" time registration.

If the function is activated (see "LAP activation/deactivation description"), the lap time can be registered as follows:

- the first time the flash is pressed (13, fig. 4) starts the "lap timer" for the first lap and the instrument panel shows the "START LAP" indication on the circular display (B, fig. 6) for 4 seconds and then returns to the "previous" display;

- from this moment, each time that the flash is pressed (13, fig. 4) the circular display (B, fig. 6) automatically shows the lap time for 10 seconds and then returns to the “previous” display.

You can save a maximum of 30 laps in the memory.

If the memory is full, each time you press the flash button (13, fig. 4), the instrument panel will not store any more lap times and will show the flashing message "LAP MEMORY FULL" on the circular display (B, fig. 6) for 3 seconds until the times are reset.

When the LAP function is set disabled, the current "lap" is not stored.

If the LAP function is active and suddenly the motorcycle is suddenly turned off (Key-Off), the function will be automatically disabled (even if the lap timer was active, the current "lap" is not stored).

If the time is never “stopped”, it will roll over upon reaching 9 minutes, 59 seconds and 99 hundredths; the lap timer starts counting from 0 (zero) and will keep running until the function is disabled.

If however the LAP function is switched on and the memory has not been cleared, but fewer than 30 laps have been saved (e.g. 18 laps), the instrument panel will store any remaining laps until the memory is full (in this case, it will store an additional 12 laps).

This function only displays the times for the lap being registered; but other data are also saved (MAX speed, MAX rpm, rev limiter if reached) for viewing at a later date in the Lap Memory function (stored LAP display).

DTC (Ducati Traction Control) on/off function

DUCATI Multistrada 1200S ABS - DTC (Ducati Traction Control) on/off function - 1

Warning

DTC is a rider aid that can be used both on the track and pad.

The system is designed to make riding easier and to enhance safety, but in no way relieves the rider of the obligation to drive responsibly and to maintain a high standard of riding in order to avoid accidents, whether caused by his own errors or those of other road users, through making emergency manoeuvres, in accordance with the prescriptions of the road traffic code.

The rider must always be aware that active safety systems have a preventive function. The active elements help the rider control the motorcycle, making it as easy and safe to ride as possible. The presence of an active safety system should not encourage the rider to ride at speeds beyond the reasonable limits, in accordance with the road conditions, the laws of physics, good riding standards and the requirements of the road traffic code.

This function activates and deactivates the DTC (Ducati Traction Control).

To display the function, enter the "setting" menu page 46 and access the "DTC" page.

In the next display, press the reset button (14. fig. 4) showing "ON / OFF".

The information will be displayed as follows:

  • the arrows indicate the setting currently in use;
  • use buttons (1, fig. 7) “▲” and (2, fig. 7) “▼” to select the new setting;
  • to store the new setting press the reset button (14, fig. 4); the arrows will move to the new stored condition.

To exit, select "EXIT" and press the reset button (14, fig. 4). Storing the "OFF" condition disables the Traction Control; Storing the "ON" condition enables the Traction Control.

DUCATI Multistrada 1200S ABS - Warning - 1

Note

Deactivating the DTC automatically activates the previously described "warning" "DTC OFF". If a battery is cutoff, when the voltage is restored and at the next Key-On, the DTC will always be set automatically to "OFF".

E

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.

The grip of each ignition key contains an electronic device that modulates the output signal from a special antenna in the top fairing when the ignition is switched On. The modulated signal acts as a password (which is different at each start-up) and tells the ECU that an "authorised" ignition key is being used to start up the engine. When the ECU recognises the signal, it enables engine start-up.

Keys (fig. 59)

The Owner receives a set of keys comprising:

- 1 active key (1, fig. 59)

- 1 passive key (2, fig. 59)

It contains the code used by the "Hands free" system for the Key-On, in different modes.

The active key (1, fig. 60) is the one that is normally used and has a button (A, fig. 60) that when pressed makes the metal part exit (B, fig. 60). The metal part returns inside the grip by pushing it in.

1 2 fig. 59

D028630 1 A B fig. 60

The key contains a battery that must be replaced when the message "low level" is displayed under the key and battery symbols when the instrument panel is turned on (fig. 61).

DUCATI Multistrada 1200S ABS - Keys (fig. 59) - 3

Note

In this case, replace the battery as soon as possible (page 86).

When the charge level goes below a certain limit, the key can only work in passive mode, like the passive key: in this case, the instrument panel will not display any message.

DUCATI Multistrada 1200S ABS - Note - 1

Warning

Do not ride with the key (1 or 2, fig. 59) inserted in the lock of the tank cap or in the seat lock as it could come out and represent a potential danger. Furthermore, if bumped, the key mechanism and the integrated circuit could be damaged.

Also riding in poor weather conditions with the key inserted could cause damage to its integrated circuit.

Do not leave the key on the motorcycle when washing it as it could be damaged, not being watertight.

Light control

Headlight control

This function allows you to reduce current consumption from the battery, by automatically managing headlight switching-off.

At Key-On, the high beam and low beam lights are off. When the engine is started, the low beam lights turn on automatically; from this moment, "normal" operation is activated: it is possible to switch between low beams and high beams (with button 13, fig. 4) or "FLASH" the lights (with button 13, fig. 4). If the engine is not started at Key-On, the lights can be turned on by pressing the button on the left high beam / low beam light switch (button 13, fig. 4); the low beam lights are turned on the first time it is pressed; from this moment, the same button can be used to switch between the low beam and high beam lights (if the engine is not started within 60 seconds, the low beam or high beam light that were turned on will turn off).

If the headlight was turned on before starting the engine with the procedure described above, the headlight turns off automatically when starting the vehicle and will turn on again when the engine has been completely started.

Turn signals (automatic reset)

The instrument panel controls the automatic reset of the turn signals.

After activating one of the two turn signals, they can be deactivated using the RESET button (14, fig. 4). If the turn signal is not "reset" manually, the instrument panel will automatically switch it off after the motorcycle has travelled 500 m (0.3 miles) from when the turn signal was activated.

The counter for the distance travelled for automatic deactivation is activated at speeds below 80 Km/h (50 mph). If the calculation of the distance for automatic deactivation is activated and then the motorcycle exceeds a speed of 80 km/h (50 mph), the calculation is interrupted and will restart when the speed returns below the indicated threshold.

"Parking" function

This function activates the "PARKING" mode.

The "PARKING" function activates the front and rear parking lights when the vehicle is turned off so it is visible when parked.

The function is activated by pressing the button (2, fig. 7) “▼” for 3 seconds during the first 60 seconds after the motorcycle was turned off.

Once the function is activated, the indication will remain on the circular display for 5 seconds and the lights will remain on for 2 hours. After 2 hours, then will turn off automatically.

To interrupt the function, turn the vehicle on and off.

Motorcycle setup variation ("S" version only)

Motorcycle setup is the optimal result of tests carried out under different riding conditions by our technical staff.

The rider can set four different setup configurations on the instrument panel:

  • Single passenger;
  • Single passenger with luggage;
  • Two passengers;
  • Two passengers with luggage.

For each of these settings, four riding modes (SPORT, TOURING, URBAN and ENDURO) can be selected and within each of these, the initial settings for traction control (DTC), engine power and suspension dampening control can be modified.

To change the setup, proceed as described on page 52

Directions for use

For the first 100 km use the brakes gently. Avoid sudden or prolonged braking. This will allow the friction material on the brake pads to bed in against the brake discs.

To allow all the mechanical moving parts in the motorcycle to adapt to one another, and to avoid shortening the life of the main engine components, it is advisable to avoid sudden acceleration and running the engine at high rpm for too long, especially uphill.

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

Running-in recommendations

Maximum rpm (fig. 120)

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

1) up to 1000 km;
2) from 1000 to 2500 km.

Up to 1000 km

During the first 1000 km, keep an eye on the rev counter. It should never exceed:

5500÷6000 rpm.

During the first hours of riding, it is advisable to run the engine at varying load and rpm, though still within recommended limit.

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 suspension.

Important

Throughout the running-in period, be careful to stick to the recommended maintenance schedule and periodic service intervals indicated in the warranty booklet. Failure to follow these instructions releases Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A. from any liability whatsoever for any 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.

To shift down, proceed as follows: release the twistgrip, pull the clutch control lever, shortly speed up to help gears synchronise, shift down (engage next lower gear) and release the clutch.
The controls should be used correctly and timely: when riding uphill, do not hesitate to shift down as soon as the motorcycle starts to slow down, so you will avoid stressing the engine and the motorcycle abnormally.

DUCATI Multistrada 1200S ABS - Moving off - 1

Important

Avoid sudden acceleration, as this may lead to

misfiring and transmission snatching. The clutch lever should not be held in longer than necessary after a gear is engaged, otherwise friction parts may overheat and wear out.

Braking

Slow down in time, shift down to engine-brake first and then brake applying both brakes. Pull the clutch lever before stopping the motorcycle, to avoid sudden engine stop.

DUCATI Multistrada 1200S ABS - Braking - 1

DUCATI Multistrada 1200S ABS - Braking - 2

ABS system

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".

DUCATI Multistrada 1200S ABS - ABS system - 1

Warning

Use both the brake lever and the brake pedal forive braking.

Using only one of the brakes will give you less braking power. Never use the brake controls harshly or suddenly 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, high-gradient downhill road tracts, shift down gears to use engine braking. Apply one brake at a time and use brakes sparingly. Keeping the brakes applied continuously causes the friction material to overheat and dangerously reduces braking effectiveness. Underinflated or overinflated tyres reduce braking efficiency, handling accuracy and stability in a bend.

Stopping the motorcycle

Reduce speed, shift down and release the throttle twistgrip. Shift down to engage first gear and then neutral. Apply the brakes and bring the motorcycle to a complete stop. Turn off the engine moving the red switch downward (1, fig. 127).

Parking

Park the stopped motorcycle on the side stand.

Turn the handle completely to the left or right.

If this operation is performed within 60 seconds of turning off the engine, the message "Waiting for lock" (fig. 126) will appear on the circular display of the instrument panel for approx. 5 seconds.

If you want to enable the steering lock, move the red switch (1, fig. 127) downward during this interval.

WAITING FOR LOCK fig. 126

Cleaning and replacing the spark plugs (fig. 164)

Spark plugs are essential to smooth engine running and should be checked at regular intervals.

The condition of the spark plugs provides a good indication of how well the engine is running.

Have the spark plugs inspected or replaced at an Ducati Dealer or Authorised Service Centre; they will check the colour of the ceramic insulator of the central electrode (1): an even brown colour is a sign that the engine is in good running order.

DUCATI Multistrada 1200S ABS - Cleaning and replacing the spark plugs (fig. 164) - 1

Note

Inspect the centre electrode for wear and check spark plug gap, which should be:

0.8÷0.1 mm.

DUCATI Multistrada 1200S ABS - Note - 1

Important

A gap outside the specified limits will adversely affect engine performance and may lead to difficult starting or erratic idling.

0,8 ÷ 0,1 mm ① fig. 164

General cleaning

To preserve the finish of metal parts and paintwork, wash and clean your motorcycle at regular intervals, anyway according to the road conditions you ride in. Use specific products, where possible biodegradable. Avoid aggressive detergents or solvents.

Use only water and neutral soap to clean the Plexiglas and the seat.

DUCATI Multistrada 1200S ABS - General cleaning - 1

Important

Do not wash your motorcycle immediately after use, as marks can form due to evaporation of the water on hot surfaces. Never clean the motorcycle using hot or high pressure water jets. Cleaning the motorcycle with a high pressure water jet may lead to seizure or serious faults in the front fork, wheel hub assembly, electrical system, headlight (fogging), front fork seals, air inlets or exhaust silencers, with consequent loss of safety.

Clean off stubborn dirt or exceeding grease from engine parts using a degreasing agent. Be sure to avoid contact with drive parts (chain, sprockets, etc.) Rinse with warm water and dry all surfaces with chamois leather.

DUCATI Multistrada 1200S ABS - Important - 1

Warning

There may be loss of braking efficiency immediately after washing the motorcycle. Never grease or lubricate the brake discs. This will cause loss of braking efficiency. Clean the discs with an oil-free solvent.

DUCATI Multistrada 1200S ABS - Warning - 1

Warning

The headlight might fog up due to washing, rain or moisture.

Switch headlight on for a short time to dry up any condensate.

Carefully clean the phonic wheels of the ABS so to ensure system efficiency. Do not use aggressive products so to avoid damaging the phonic wheels and the sensors.

E

Storing the bike away

If the motorcycle is to be left unridden over long periods, it is advisable to carry out the following operations before storing it away:

clean the motorcycle;

empty the fuel tank;

pour a few drops of engine oil into the cylinders through the spark plug bores, then turn the engine over by hand a few times to form a protective film of oil on the inner walls of the cylinder;

place the motorcycle on a service stand;

disconnect and remove the battery.

If the motorcycle has been left unused for more than a month, the battery should be checked and recharged if necessary.

Protect the motorcycle with a specific motorcycle cover that will not damage the paintwork or retain moisture.

This type of motorcycle cover is available from Ducati

Performance.

Important notes

Some countries, such as France, Germany, Great Britain, Switzerland, etc. have compulsory emission and noise standards that include mandatory inspections at regular intervals.

Periodically carry out the required checks and renew parts as necessary, using Ducati original spare parts, in compliance with the regulations in the country concerned.

Reporting of safety defects

If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying Ducati North America. If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your dealer, or Ducati North America. To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-800-424-9393 (or 366-0123 in Washington, D.C. area) or write to: NHTSA, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE W43-488, Washington, D.C. 20590. You can also obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from the Hotline.

Safety warnings

Traffic Rules vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Know the regulations in your jurisdiction before riding this motorcycle.

DUCATI Multistrada 1200S ABS - Safety warnings - 1

Warning

This motorcycle is designed and intended for use on streets and other smooth, paved areas only. Do not use this motorcycle on unpaved surfaces. Such use could lead to upset or other accident.

Noise emission warranty

Ducati Motor S.p.A. warrants that this exhaust system, at the time of sale, meets all applicable U.S. EPA Federal noise standards. This warranty extends to the first person who buys this exhaust system for purposes other than resale, and to all subsequent buyers. Warranty claims should be directed to: Ducati North America,

10443 Bandley Drive, Cupertino, California, 95014

Tel: 001.408.253.0499 - Fax: 001.408.253.4099.

Noise and exhaust emission control system information

Source of Emissions

The combustion process produces carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons. Control of hydrocarbons is very important because under certain conditions, they react to form photochemical smog when subjected to sunlight.

Carbon monoxide does not react in the same way, but is toxic. Ducati utilizes lean carburetor settings and other systems to reduce carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons.

Exhaust Emission Control System

The Exhaust Emission Control System is composed of lean carburetor settings, and no adjustments should be made except idle speed adjustments with the throttle stop screw. The Exhaust Emission Control System is separate from the crankcase emission control system.

Crankcase Emission Control System

The engine is equipped with a closed crankcase system to prevent discharging crankcase emissions into the atmosphere. Blow-by gas is returned to the combustion chamber through the air cleaner and the throttle body. Evaporative Emission Control System

California motorcycles are equipped with an evaporative emission control system which consists of a charcoal canister and associated piping. This system prevents the escape of fuel vapors from the throttle body and fuel tank.

Tampering warning

Tampering with Noise Control System Prohibited. Federal Law prohibits the following acts or causing thereof: (1) the removal or rendering inoperative by any person, other than for purposes of maintenance, repair, or replacement, of any device or element of design incorporated into any new vehicle for the purpose of noise control prior to its sale or delivery to the ultimate purchaser or while it is in use; or

(2) the use of the vehicle after such device or element of design has been removed or rendered inoperative by any person.

Among those acts presumed to constitute tampering are the acts listed below:

(1) Removal of, or puncturing the muffler, baffles, header pipes or any other component which conducts exhaust gases.
(2) Removal or puncturing of any part of the intake system.
(3) Lack of proper maintenance.
(4) Replacing any moving part of the vehicle, or parts of the exhaust or intake system, with parts other than those specified by the manufacturer.

This product should be checked for repair or replacement if the motorcycle noise has increased significantly through use. Otherwise, the owner may become subject to penalties under state and local ordinances.

Problems that may affect motorcycle emissions

If you are aware of any of the following symptoms, have the vehicle inspected and repaired by your local Ducati dealer.

Symptoms:

Hard starting or stalling after starting.

Rough idle.

Misfiring or backfiring during acceleration.

After-burning (backfiring).

Poor performance (driveability) and poor economy.

Riding safety

The points given below are applicable for every day motorcycle use and should be carefully observed for safe and effective vehicle operation.

A motorcycle does not provide the impact protection of an automobile, so defensive riding in addition to wearing protective apparel is extremely important.

Do not let protective apparel give you a false sense of security.

Before changing lanes, look over your shoulder to make sure the way is clear. Do not rely solely on the rear view mirror; you may misjudge a vehicle's distance and speed, or you may not see it at all.

When going up steep slopes, shift to a lower gear so that there is plenty of power to spare rather than overloading the engine.

When applying the brakes, use both the front and rear brakes. Applying only one brake for sudden braking may cause the motorcycle to skid and lose control.

When going down long slopes, control vehicle speed by closing the throttle. Use the front and rear brakes for auxiliary braking.

Riding at the proper rate of speed and avoiding unnecessarily fast acceleration are important not only for safety and low fuel consumption but also for long vehicle life and quieter operation.

When riding in wet conditions or on loose roadway surfaces, the ability to maneuver will be reduced. All of your actions should be smooth under these conditions. Sudden acceleration, braking or turning may cause loss of control.

When the roadway is wet, rely more on the throttle to control vehicle speed and less on the front and rear brakes.

The throttle should also be used judiciously to avoid skidding the rear wheel from too rapid acceleration or deceleration.

On rough roads, exercise caution, slow down, and grip the fuel tank with your knees for better stability.

When quick acceleration is necessary as in passing, shift to a lower gear to obtain the necessary power.

Do not down shift at too high an r.p.m. to avoid damage to the engine from overreving.

Avoiding unnecessary weaving is important to the safety of both the rider and other motorists.

Do not exceed the legal speed limit or drive too fast for existing conditions. High speed increases the influence of any condition affecting stability and the loss of control.

Operate motorcycle only at moderate speed and out of traffic until you have become thoroughly familiar with its operation and handling characteristics under all conditions. This is a very high performance motorcycle, designed and intended for use by experienced careful riders only!

A new motorcycle must be operated according to a special break-in procedure (see Running in recommendations).

DUCATI Multistrada 1200S ABS - Riding safety - 1

Warning

Before starting engine, check for proper operation of

brake, clutch, shifter, throttle controls, correct fuel and oil supply.

Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions. Refuell in a well ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks when refuelling or servicing the fuel system.

Always close the fuel petcock when the engine is not running to prevent flooding of the throttle body. Do not overfill fuel tank (see instructions page 55).

Motorcycle exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas. Do not inhale exhaust gases and never run the engine in a closed garage or confined area.

Use only Ducati approved parts and accessories.

This motorcycle was not intended to be equipped with a sidecar or to be used to tow any trailer or other vehicle.

Ducati does not manufacture sidecars or trailers and cannot predict the effects of such accessories on handling or stability, but can only warn that the effects will be adverse and any damage to motorcycle components caused by the use of such accessories will not be remedied under warranty.

Warning Do not ride

Do not ride the motorcycle with helmets attached to the hook; the helmets could cause an accident by distracting the operator or interfering with normal vehicle operation.

Protective apparel

Always wear a helmet. Most motorcycle accident fatalities are due to head injuries.

For safety eye protection, gloves, and high top, sturdy boots should also be worn.

The exhaust system becomes very hot during operation, never touch the exhaust system. Wear clothing that fully covers your legs. Do not wear loose clothing which could catch on the control levers, footrests, wheels, or chain.

Any amount of alcohol will significantly interfere with your ability to safely operate your motorcycle. Don't drink and ride.

California emission control warranty statement Your warranty rights and obligations

The California Air Resources Board is pleased to explain the emission control system warranty on your MY 2010 motorcycle. In California, new motor vehicles must be designated, built and equipped to meet the State's stringent anti-smog standards. Ducati North America, Inc. must warrant the emission control system on your motorcycle for the periods of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your motorcycle. Your emission control system may include parts such as fuel-injection system, the ignition system, catalytic converter, and engine computer. Also included may be hoses, belts, connectors and other emission-related assemblies. Where a warrantable condition exists, Ducati North America, Inc. will repair your motorcycle at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.

Manufacturer's warranty coverage

- 5 years or 30,000 kilometers (18641 miles), whichever first occurs.

Owner's warranty responsibilities:

  • As the motorcycle owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your owner's manual. Ducati North America, Inc. recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your motorcycle, but Ducati North America, Inc. cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.
  • You are responsible for presenting your motorcycle to a Ducati dealer as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
  • As the motorcycle owner, you should also be aware that Ducati North America, Inc. may deny you warranty coverage if your motorcycle or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.

If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact Ducati North America, Inc. at 1 -408-253-0499 or the California Air Resource Board at 9528 Telstar Avenue, El Monte, CA 91731.

Ducati limited warranty on emission control system

Ducati North America, Inc., 10443 Bandley Drive Cupertino, California, 95014 warrants that each new 1998 and later Ducati motorcycle, that includes as standard equipment a headlight, tail-light and stoplight, and is street legal:

A) is designed, built and equipped so as to conform at the time of initial retail purchase with all applicable regulations of the United States Environmental Protection Agency, and the California Air Resources Board; and
B) is free from defects in material and workmanship which cause such motorcycle to fail to conform with applicable regulations of the United States Environmental Protection Agency or the California Air Resources Board for a period of use of 30,000 kilometers (18,641 miles) or 5 (five) years from the date of initial retail delivery, whichever first occurs.

I. Coverage

Warranty defects shall be remedied during customary business hours at any authorized Ducati motorcycle dealer located within the United States of America in compliance with the Clean Air Act and applicable regulations of the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the California Air Resources Board. Any part or parts replaced under this warranty shall become the property of Ducati.

In the state of California only, emissions related warranted parts are specifically defined by that state's Emissions Warranty Parts List. These warranted parts are: carburetor and internal parts; intake manifold; fuel tank, fuel injection system; spark advance mechanism; crankcase breather; air cutoff valves; fuel tank cap for evaporative emission controlled vehicles; oil filler cap; pressure control valve; fuel/vapor separator; canister; igniters; breaker governors; ignition coils; ignition wires; ignition points, condensers, and spark plugs if failure occurs prior to the first scheduled replacement, and hoses, clamps, fittings and tubing used directly in these parts. Since emission related parts may vary from model to model, certain models may not contain all of these parts and certain models may contain functionally equivalent parts.

In the state of California only, Emission Control System emergency repairs, as provided for in the California Administrative Code, may be performed by other than an authorized Ducati dealer. An emergency situation occurs when an authorized Ducati dealer is not reasonably available, a part is not available within 30 days, or a repair is not complete within 30 days. Any replacement part can be used in an emergency repair. Ducati will reimburse the owner for the expenses, including diagnosis, not to exceed Ducati's suggested retail price for all warranted parts replaced and labor charges based on Ducati's recommended time allowance for the warranty repair and the geographically appropriate hourly labor rate. The owner may be required to keep receipts and failed parts in order to receive compensation.

II. Limitations

This Emission Control System Warranty shall not cover any of the following:

A. Repair or replacement required as a result of
(1) accident,
(2) misuse,
(3) repairs improperly performed or replacements improperly installed,
(4) use of replacement parts or accessories not conforming to Ducati specifications which adversely affect performance and/or
(5) use in competitive racing or related events.
B. Inspections, replacement of parts and other services and adjustments required for routine maintenance.
C. Any motorcycle on which odometer mileage has been changed so that actual mileage cannot be readily determined.

III. Limited liability

A. The liability of Ducati under this Emission Control Systems Warranty is limited solely to the remedying of defects in material or workmanship by an authorized Ducati motorcycle dealer at its place of business during customary business hours. This warranty does not cover inconvenience or loss of use of the motorcycle or transportation of the motorcycle to or from the Ducati dealer. Ducati shall not be liable for any other expenses, loss or damage, whether direct, incidental, consequential or exemplary arising in connection with the sale or use of or inability to use the Ducati motorcycle for any purpose. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation

of any incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you.

B. No express emission control system warranty is given by Ducati except as specifically set forth herein. Any emission control system warranty implied by law, including any warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, is limited to the express emission control systems warranty terms stated in this warranty. The foregoing statements of warranty are exclusive and in lieu of all other remedies. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts so the above limitation may not apply to you.

C. No dealer is authorized to modify this Ducati Limited Emission Control Systems Warranty.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.

V. This warranty is in addition to the Ducati limited motorcycle warranty.

VI. Additional information

Any replacement part that is equivalent in performance and durability may be used in the performance of any maintenance or repairs. However, Ducati is not liable for these parts. The owner is responsible for the performance of all required maintenance. Such maintenance may be performed at a service establishment or by any individual. The warranty period begins on the date the motorcycle is delivered to an ultimate purchaser.
