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 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. This booklet uses a set of symbols with special meanings:

Warning
Failure to comply with these instructions may put you at risk, and could lead to severe injury or even death.

Important
Risk of damage to the motorcycle and/or its components.

Note
Additional information about the current operation.
The terms RIGHT and LEFT are referred to the motorcycle viewed from the riding position.

Useful information for safe riding

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Identification data
All Ducati motorcycles have two identification numbers, for frame (fig. 1) and engine (fig. 2).
Frame number
Engine number

Note
These numbers indicate the motorcycle model and should be quoted when ordering spare parts.

Residual range indication when the SERVICE is due
When 1000 Km (621 miles) are left until reaching the mileage programmed by Ducati for having the "SERVICE"
performed, the instrument panel activates (at the end of the initial check) the indication of which type of service should be performed and the residual range (count-down).
The indication is activated each time the motorcycle is turned on (Key-On) for 5 seconds (flashing).
The residual range is updated every 100 Km (-1000, -900, -800, -700, etc.....).

Warning
This message can only be reset by the Ducati Dealer or
Authorised Service Centre that performs the maintenance.
Indication of range reached for SERVICE
If you reach the mileage programmed by Ducati, the information panel will activate (at the end of the initial check) the indication that you should go to a Ducati Dealer or Authorised Service Centre to have the scheduled maintenance "DESMO SERVICE" or "OIL SERVICE" performed.
The indication is activated each time the motorcycle is turned on (Key-On) (not flashing); pressing the button (2, fig.7) “▼” the other functions can be displayed;
The indication will remain until it is reset and it can be displayed at any moment by scrolling the functions.

Warning
This message can only be reset by the Ducati Dealer or

SET UP - "Riding Style set" indication
This function indicates the "Riding Style" set for the vehicle. Four "Riding Styles" are available: SPORT, TOURING, URBAN and ENDURO.
Each riding style can be changed using the "Riding Style" function.
In the "base" version, only the set riding style is indicated.
In the "S" version, the setup (fig. 28) and the riding style (fig. 29) that are set are indicated.


"S" version

fig. 29

"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).
vs. EU, CND, FRA, JAP

vs. UK, USA


Warning
It is recommended to turn off the motorcycle (Key-Off) when refuelling; if adding fuel without turning off the motorcycle (Key-On/engine off), the reading will be updated as soon as the vehicle starts to move (speed greater than zero).

Warning
The residual range that is measured is an approximate value; Ducati recommends not trying to use all the residual range indicated.
Indicator "CONS I." - Instantaneous fuel consumption
This function indicates the "instantaneous" fuel consumption.
The calculation is made considering the quantity of fuel used and the distance travelled during the last second.
The active calculation phase only occurs when the engine is running and the vehicle is moving (moments when the vehicle is not moving when speed is equal to 0 and/or when the engine is off are not considered). Dashes “- - - .” are shown on the display when the calculation is not made.
vs. EU, CND, FRA, JAP

vs. UK, USA



fig.31
Indicator "CONS M." - Average fuel consumption
This function indicates the "average" fuel consumption.
The calculation is made considering the quantity of fuel used and the km travelled since the last Trip 1 reset. When Trip 1 is reset, the value is set to zero and the first available value is shown on the display 10 seconds after the reset. Dashes “--.-” are shown on the display during the first 10 seconds when the value is not yet available.
The active calculation phase only occurs when the engine is running and the vehicle is moving (moments when the vehicle is not moving when speed is equal to 0 and/or when the engine is off are not considered).
vs. EU, CND, FRA, JAP

fig. 32

Indicator "AVG" - Average speed
This function shows the average speed of the motorcycle. The calculation is made considering the distance and time travelled since the last Trip 1 reset. When Trip 1 is reset, the value is set to zero and the first available value is shown on the display 10 seconds after the reset. Dashes “- - -” are shown on the display during the first 10 seconds when the value is not yet available.
The active calculation phase only occurs when the engine is running and the vehicle is moving (moments when the vehicle is not moving when speed is equal to 0 and/or when the engine is off are not considered).
The calculated value is displayed increased by 8% to align it with the vehicle indicated speed.
Air temperature indicator
This function shows the external temperature.
Display limits: -39^ ÷ +124^
In the event of a sensor FAULT (-40°C,+125°C or disconnected), a string of dashes “- - -” (not flashing) is displayed and the “Engine/Vehicle Diagnosis - EOBD” light (8, fig. 3) comes on and an error is indicated inside “Errors” Menu.

Note
When the vehicle is stopped, the engine heat could
influence the displayed temperature.

The values for each metric are explicitly labeled on the circular diagrams.
When the detected temperature drops to 4°C (39°F), the display warns that the formation of ice is possible. The indication turns off when the temperature rises to 6°C (43°F).

Warning
This warning does not exclude the possibility of icy road sections even at temperatures above 4°C (39°F); when external temperatures are "low" it is always recommended to drive carefully, particularly on sections that are not exposed to the sun and/or on bridges.
Indicator "TIME TRIP" - Trip time
This function shows the vehicle trip time.
The calculation is made considering the time travelled since the last Trip 1 reset. When Trip 1 is reset, the value is set to zero.
The active time calculation phase only occurs when the engine is running and the vehicle is moving (when the vehicle is not moving and the speed is equal to 0 and/or when the engine is off, the time is automatically stopped and automatically restarts when the active counting phase restarts).




"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.

Warning
Ducati recommends changing the riding style when the vehicle is stopped. If the riding style is changed while riding, be very careful (it is recommended to change the riding style at a low speed).

"LOAD" FUNCTION (setup change)
This function, which is only available in the "S" version, changes the vehicle setup.
Each individual riding style is associated with four different setups (fig. 28).
To change the vehicle setup, press the reset button (14, fig. 4) for 3 seconds consecutively and the "LOAD" menu will appear on the circular display (B, fig. 6).
The desired setup can be selected by pressing the same reset button multiple times (14, fig. 4). To confirm the setup, press the same reset button again for 3 seconds (14, fig. 4).
At the end of the 3 seconds, the change occurs immediately and the instrument panel exits the display mode automatically.
Example: if a setup change is made from "individual passenger" to "passenger with luggage", the change may vary depending on the set riding style (the "passenger with luggage" setup may have different adjustments depending on if the riding style that is set to SPORT, TOURING, URBAN or ENDURO).
If the "LOAD" 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.

Warning
The setup change can lead to a different motorcycle riding style; it is recommended to be careful if changing the setup while riding (it is recommended to change the setup at a low speed).

Tips on how to select the sensitivity level

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).

Stored LAP display function
This function displays the stored LAPs.
To display the function, enter the "setting" menu page 46 and access the "LAP" page.
In the next display, press the reset button (14. fig. 4) showing "MEMORY".
The instrument panel displays the information as follows:
Circular display (B, fig. 6):
- the number of the displayed lap (ex: no.1);
- "NEXT" to display the next LAP;
- "RESET" to delete all the stored times.
To exit, select "EXIT" and press the reset button (14, fig. 4).
Main display (A, fig. 6):
- the time in the upper left (ex: 1:50:97);
- the maximum speed reached in the registered LAP to the upper right;
- the number of maximum RPMs reached in the registered lap at the bottom.

Note
The MAX stored speed is indicated on the main display
(A) (increased by 8%).
If the MAX speed reading exceeds 299 Km/h (186 mph)
while the information is stored, the speed that was reached is still displayed (example: 316 Km/h).
If there is no reading in the memory, the 30 times are shown, with the display showing "0.00.00", MAX rpm = 0 and MAX speed = 0.
If while registering the LAP the engine reaches the threshold that precedes the rev limiter or rev limiter threshold, the relative light "Over Rev" (9, fig. 3) will turn on when displaying the stored times.
To display other stored times, select "NEXT" and press the reset button (14, fig. 4); the next lap will be displayed each time the reset button (14, fig. 4) is pressed.
To delete all the stored times, select "RESET" and press the rest button (14, fig. 4) for 3 seconds.

Note
If the stored times are deleted while the LAP function

DTC (Ducati Traction Control) on/off function

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.

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.


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).

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.

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.



Replacing the battery in the active key Only use 3 Volt CR 2032 lithium ion batteries.

Note
The keys do not need to be reprogrammed after using the battery.
Remove the metal part of the battery. Use a large sized coin to pry open the shells of the plastic grip (2€ coin) as shown in fig. 62.

Important
Insert the coil only in the indicated point. Do not other use other objects inserted in points that are different than what is shown, as it could damage the integrated circuit and/or the protective gasket.
Once the plastic shells have been separated, remove the printed circuit board (1, fig. 63) prying it up GENTLY with a small flat screwdriver, as shown in the figure.

Important
Insert the point of the flat screwdriver just under the printed circuit board, being very careful not to damage it. Do not apply force on the battery or battery holder.

natural_image
Illustration of a hand holding a small object with an arrow indicating rotation (no text or symbols)
Remove the battery (2, fig. 64) from the printed circuit board (1, fig. 64) and replace it with a new one.
Pay attention to polarity: the positive pole (+) must face upward.

Important
Only use the required type of battery.
Reinsert the printed circuit board (1, fig. 65) from the side with the battery (2, fig. 65) into the plastic shell.




Apply slight pressure on the antenna (3, fig. 66) of the printed circuit board until you hear a click.
Align the two shells of the grip and press on the area indicated by the arrows (fig. 67) to reclose them.
Make sure that you hear a "click" upon closing and that the key is well closed.


natural_image
Illustration of a hand holding a small object with two downward arrows indicating movement or force (no text or symbols present)Duplicate keys
If you need any duplicate keys, contact the Ducati Service network with all the keys you have left.
The Ducati Service Centre will program all the new keys as well as any keys you already have.
You may be asked to provide proof that you are the legitimate owner of the motorcycle.
The codes of any keys not submitted will be wiped off from the memory to make those keys unserviceable in case they have been lost.


Immobilizer override procedure
This procedure makes it possible to "temporarily" turn on the motorcycle if the HF (Hands Free) System is not working.

Note
The PIN CODE function must be activated by entering your 4 digit PIN in the instrument panel, otherwise the vehicle cannot be turned on temporarily in the case of a malfunction.

Warning
The motorcycle owner must activate (store) the PIN code; if there is already a stored PIN, contact an Authorised Ducati dealer to have the function "reset". To perform this procedure, the Authorised Ducati Dealer may ask you to demonstrate that you are the owner of the motorcycle.
PIN CODE activation function
To display the function, enter the "setting" menu page 46 and access the "PIN CODE" page.

Note
If "MODIFY" appears when accessing this function, this means that there is already a stored PIN and therefore the function is already active.
When accessing the function, "NEW PIN" four dashes "----" will appear on the circular display (B, fig. 6); now enter a 4 digit code.
Entering the code:
each time you press the button (2, fig. 7) "▼" the displayed number increases from "0" to "9" and then returns to "0"; to confirm the number, press the reset button (14, fig. 4).
Repeat the procedure until inserting the fourth digit.
Press the reset button (14, fig. 4) again to confirm.
"OK" and "EXIT" will appear on the display.
To confirm the PIN that was entered, press the reset button (14, fig. 4) again showing "OK".
"NEW PIN MEM" will appear on the display for 3 seconds to confirm that the PIN was stored.
At the end of the 3 seconds, the instrument panel exits automatically from the display and returns to the "setting" menu.
From this moment, "MODIFY" will be displayed when accessing the "PIN CODE" function and the PIN can be changed again.

If the code is not correct, "OLD PIN WRONG" will appear for 3 seconds and then the instrument panel will return displaying "MODIFY" so you can repeat the attempt of entering the "old" code.

Note
If "NEW PIN" and the dashes "----" appear when
accessing this function, this means that the function was not active as the PIN CODE was never entered. Enter your PIN as described in the previous paragraph "PIN CODE activation function".
When accessing the function, "MODIFY" will appear on the circular display (B, fig. 6); press the reset button (14, fig. 4) showing "MODIFY" to modify the PIN.

Note
To change the PIN, you must know the currently stored
PIN.
"OLD PIN" and four dashes "----" will appear on the circular display (B, fig. 6); enter the old 4 digit code that was stored previously.
Entering the "old" PIN: each time you press the button (2, fig. 7) "▼" the displayed number increases from "0" to "9" and then returns to "0".
To confirm the number, press the reset button (14, fig. 4); repeat the procedure until inserting the fourth digit;
Press the reset button (14, fig. 4) again to confirm.
"OK" and "EXIT" will appear on the display.

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.

Note
If there is a sudden interruption in the battery while the
function is active, the instrument panel will disable the function when the voltage is restored.

Warning
The frequent use of this function can considerably
reduce the battery charge; Ducati recommends using this function only when necessary.



"Steering in position for being locked" indication
This function informs that the steering is in position for turning on the steering lock.
The sensors detect that the steering is in position during the first 60 seconds after turning off the vehicle and the instrument panel activates the indication on the circular display for max. 5 seconds.

"Steering lock" on indication
This function informs that the steering lock was turned on. The steering lock can be turned on during the first 60 seconds after turning off the vehicle by pressing down on the "RUN" button.
If the steering lock was turned on correctly, the instrument panel will show the indication in the circular display for 5 seconds.

Adjusting the front fork
The front fork used on this motorcycle has rebound, compression and spring preload adjustment.
The settings are adjusted using external adjuster screws.
1) to adjust rebound damping (fig. 112);
2) to adjust spring preload (fig. 112);
3) to adjust compression damping (fig. 113).
Park the motorcycle in a stable position on its side stand. Turn the adjuster (1) on fork leg top with a flat screwdriver to adjust rebound damping.
Turn the adjusting screws (1 and 3) to adjust the dampening. Turn the screw all the way in to set the hardest damping (position "0"). Starting from this position, turning anticlockwise, you can count the turns.
To change preload of the spring inside each fork leg, turn the hex. adjuster (2, fig. 112) with a 22 mm hexagon wrench, starting from the fully open position (clockwise).


STANDARD factory setting is as follows:
Compression:
1 and a half turns;
Rebound:
2 turns.
Spring preload: FULLY OPEN (anticlockwise).

Important
Adjust both fork legs to same settings.
In the "S" model, the fork is adjusted by electric impulses sent by the instrument panel to the adjusters (fig. 114) inside the fork legs.
For fork adjustment, follow the description on page 60 "DES setting function (Ducati Electronic suspension)".



Adjusting the rear shock absorber
The rear shock absorber has external commands that enable you to adjust the setting to suit the load on the motorcycle. The adjuster (1, fig. 115) located on the lower connection holding the shock absorber to the swingarm adjusts the damping during the rebound phase (return).
The knob (2, fig. 115), located on the left side of the motorcycle, adjusts the preload of the shock absorber external spring.
The adjuster (3, fig. 116) located on the expansion reservoir of the shock absorber adjusts the damping during the compression phase.


To access the adjuster (3, fig. 116) remove the rider seat and the cover (4, fig. 117) located to the side of the battery. The adjuster (3, fig. 116) can be turned through the hole in the battery support.
Turning the adjusters (1) and (3) or the knob (2) in a clockwise direction increases the damping or the preload; they decrease turning them in the opposite direction.
STANDARD setting; from fully closed (clockwise) loosen: adjuster (1) by 9 clicks;
knob (2) by 18 mm (max. 18 - min. 25 mm); adjuster (3) by 1.5 clicks.

Warning
The shock absorber is filled with gas under pressure and may cause severe damage if taken apart by unskilled persons.
When carrying a passenger and luggage, set the rear shock absorber spring to proper preload to improve motorcycle handling and keep safe clearance from the ground. It may also be necessary to adjust the rebound damping accordingly.
In the "S" model, the shock absorber is adjusted by electric impulses sent by the instrument panel to the adjusters (fig. 118) inside the shock absorber body.

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.


From 1000 to 2500 km
At this point, you can squeeze some more power out of your engine. However never exceed: 7000 rpm.

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.
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
Check the fuel level in the tank. Fill tank if needed (page 140).
ENGINE OIL LEVEL
Check oil level in the sump through the sight
glass. Top up if needed (page 161).
Check coolant level in the expansion reservoir. Top up if needed (page 144).
TYRE CONDITION
Check tyre pressure and condition (page 159).
CONTROLS
Operate the brake, clutch, throttle and gear change controls (levers, pedals and twistgrip) to check that they function correctly.
LIGHTS AND INDICATORS
Make sure the lights, indicators and horn work properly.
Replace any burnt-out bulbs (page 153).
KEY-OPERATED LOCKS
Ensure that fuel filler plug (page 118) and seat (page 119) are firmly secured.
STAND
Make sure side stand operates smoothly and is in the correct position (page 122).
ABS light
After Key-On, the ABS light (10, fig. 3) stays on. When the vehicle speed exceeds 5 km/h; the light turns off to indicate that the ABS system is functioning properly.

Warning
In case of malfunction, do not ride the motorcycle and contact a Ducati Dealer or authorised Service Centre.

ABS device
Check that the front (1, fig. 121) and rear (2, fig. 122) phonic wheels are clean.

Warning
Clogged reading slots would compromise system
proper operation.
It is recommended to disable ABS system in case of muddy road surface because under this condition the system might be subject to sudden failure.

Warning
Prolonged rearing could deactivate the ABS system.


Engine on/off

Warning
Before starting the engine, become familiar with the tools you will need to use when riding (page 99).

Warning
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.
In the presence of the active or passive key, perform a Key-On (turning on the "Hands free" system and all on-board electronic devices) by pushing the red switch (1, fig. 123), on the right side of the handlebar, downward.
The instrument panel will perform the initialisation and will control the onboard systems, turning on all lights in sequence, from the bottom to the top, for a few seconds. After this control, only the green light (2, fig. 124) and the red light must remain on.

Warning
The side stand must be fully up (in a horizontal position) as its safety sensor prevents engine start when down.
After Key-On, but with the engine not yet started, the system will perform a Key-Off automatically if the presence of the active key is not detected within 10 seconds.




Note
It is possible to start the engine with side stand down and the gearbox in neutral. When starting the bike with a gear engaged, pull the clutch lever (in this case the side stand must be up).
Move the red switch (1) up to uncover the black button (4, fig. 125).
Push the button (4) to start the engine.

Important
Do not rev up the engine when it is cold. Allow some time for the oil to warm up and reach all points that need lubricating.
The red oil pressure warning light should go out a few seconds after the engine has started.
The engine will shut off by turning the red key (1, fig. 125) on the handlebar to RUN OFF.

Note
To turn on the "Hands free" system and all electronic onboard systems, refer to page 100 "Hands Free System".

Moving off
1) Disengage the clutch by squeezing the clutch lever.
2) Push down the gear change lever firmly with the tip of your foot to engage first gear.
3) Raise the engine revs by turning the throttle twistgrip while gradually releasing the clutch lever. The motorcycle will start moving.
4) Release the clutch lever completely and accelerate.
5) To shift up, close the throttle to slow down engine, disengage the clutch, lift the gear change lever and let go of clutch lever.
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.

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.

Warning
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 the clutch lever before stopping the motorcycle, to avoid sudden engine stop.


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".

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.

Main maintenance operations
Warning This operation must be carried out with the engine cold and with the motorcycle vertical and level.
Checking and topping up coolant level
Check the coolant level in the expansion reservoir on the right-hand side of the headstock.
Steer the handlebar completely to the left and check that the level is between the MIN and MAX marks on the side of the expansion reservoir.
Top up if the level is below the MIN mark.
Unscrew the filler plug (1) and add a mixture consisting of water and antifreeze SHELL Advance Coolant or Glycoshell (35÷ 40%) of the volume) up to the MAX level.
Refit the plug (1).
This type of mixture ensures the best operating conditions (the coolant starts to freeze at -20 °C/-4 °F).
Cooling circuit capacity: 4.10 cu. dm (litres).

Checking brake and clutch fluid level
The level must not go below the MIN mark shown on the respective reservoirs (fig. 140 shows the front and rear brake fluid reservoirs, fig. 141 shows the clutch fluid reservoir). If the level is too low, air can get into the circuit, thus impairing the efficiency of the system.
Brake and clutch fluid must be topped up and changed at the intervals specified in the scheduled maintenance chart reported in the Warranty Booklet; please contact a Ducati Dealer or authorised Service Centre.

Important
It is recommended all brake and clutch lines be
changed every four years.
Brake system
If you find exceeding play on brake lever or pedal and brake pads are still in good condition, contact your Ducati Dealer or authorised Service Centre to have the system inspected and any air drained out of the circuit.

Warning
Brake and clutch fluid can damage paintwork and
plastic parts, so avoid contact. Hydraulic fluid is corrosive and can cause damage and injuries. Never mix fluids of different qualities.
Check that the seals are in good condition.




Clutch system
If the control lever has exceeding play and the transmission snatches or jams as you try to engage a gear, it means that there might be air in the circuit. Contact your Ducati Dealer or authorised Service Centre to have the system inspected and air drained out.

Warning
The clutch fluid level in the reservoir tends to rise as the friction material on the clutch plates wears out. Do not exceed the specified level (3 mm above the minimum level).
Checking brake pads for wear
To facilitate inspection without removing the pads from the callipers, brake pads have a wear mark. If the grooves in the pad friction material are still visible, the pad is still in good condition.
The pads must be replaced when approx. 1 mm of friction material (fig. 142 and fig. 143) can be seen through the opening between the callipers.

Important
Have the brake pads replaced at a Ducati Dealer or
authorised Service Centre.



Lubricating cables and joints
Check the outer sheath of the throttle control and cold start lever cables for damage at regular intervals. The outer plastic cover should not be flattened or cracked. Operate the controls to make sure the inner cables slide smoothly inside the outer sheath: if you feel any friction or catching, have the cable replaced by a Ducati Dealer or Authorised Service Centre.
To avoid this kind of problem with the throttle cable, unscrew the two retaining screws (1, fig. 144) to open the case and then the grease cable ends and pulley (2, fig. 145) with SHELL Advance Grease or Retinax LX2 grease.

Warning
Close the twistgrip housing carefully, inserting the
cable in the pulley.
Refit the housing and tighten the screws (1) to 10 Nm.
To ensure smooth operation of the side stand pivot, remove dirt and apply SHELL Alvania R3 grease to all friction points.

The throttle twistgrip must have free play of 1.5 - 2.0 mm in all steering positions, measured on the outer edge of the twistgrip. If necessary, adjust it using the adjusters (1 and 2, fig. 146) located on the headstock on the left-hand side of the vehicle.
Adjuster (1) is for throttle opening, and adjuster (2) is for throttle closing.
Slip the rubber gaiters off the adjusters and loosen the counter nuts (3). Adjust both adjusters by the same amount: turn clockwise to increase free play and anticlockwise to reduce free play. When finished, tighten the counter nuts (3) and refit the rubber gaiters to the adjusters.



Charging the battery (fig. 148)
Before charging the battery, it is recommended to remove it from the motorcycle.
Remove the rider seat, unscrew the screw (1) and remove the bracket (2). Always disconnect the black negative terminal (-) first, then the red positive terminal (+).

Warning
The battery produces explosive gases: keep it away
from heat sources and flames.
Charge the battery in a well-ventilated area.
Connect the battery charger leads to the battery terminals: red to the positive terminal (+), black to the negative terminal (-).

Important
Connect the battery to the charger before switching it
on; failure to do so can result in sparking at the battery terminals, which could ignite the gases inside the cells.
Always connect the red positive terminal (+) first.
Reinstall the battery on its mount and secure the bracket (2) with the screw (1). Apply some grease on the fastening screws to improve conductive capacity and connect the terminals.

Warning
Keep the battery out of the reach of children.
Charge the battery at 0.9 A for 5÷10 hours.

Checking drive chain tension (fig. 149)

Important
Have chain tension adjusted by a Ducati Dealer or rised Service Centre.
Measure chain tension at the centre of the lower section, with the motorcycle on the side stand: lower the chain by pressing down on it only with your finger, release it and measure the distance (A) between the centre of the chain pins and the aluminium section of the swingarm. It must be: A = 35 ÷ 37 mm.

Warning
Correct tightening of screws (1, fig. 150) is critical to and passenger safety.

Important
Improper chain tension will lead to early wear of mission parts.




To access the screws (1), remove the rear gravel guards (2, fig. 150) and chain guard (3), unscrewing the three screws (4).

Chain lubrication
The chain fitted on your motorcycle has O-rings that keep dirt out of and lubricant inside the sliding parts.
So as not to damage these seals when cleaning the chain, use special solvents and avoid aggressive washing with high-pressure steam cleaners.
After cleaning, blow the chain dry with compressed air or wipe with an absorbent material, then lubricate each link with SHELL Advance Chain or Advance Teflon Chain.

Important
Using non-specific lubricants may cause severe
damage to the chain and the front and rear sprockets.
Replacing the high and low beam bulbs
Before replacing a burnt-out bulb, make sure that the new bulb complies with the voltage and wattage specified in the "Wiring diagram", page 176. Always test the new bulb before refitting any parts you have removed.
fig. 152 shows the locations of the low beam bulbs (LO), high beam bulbs (HI) and the parking light bulb (1).
Headlight
To access the right or left side headlight bulbs, remove the corresponding panel, proceeding as follows.

Note
The figures show the replacement of the right side headlight bulbs: the procedure is the same for the left side.

Unscrew the four screws (3, fig. 154) that fasten the panel (4) to top fairing.
Remove the panel (4), lifting the rear part to unhook the tabs from the slots (A, fig. 155) in the top fairing. Detach the connector (5) from the bulb holder (6). Turn the bulb holder with the burnt-out bulb anticlockwise and remove it. Replace the bulb with an identical one.

Note
Be careful to hold the new bulb at the base only. Never
touch the transparent body with your fingers or it will blacken resulting in reduced bulb brilliancy.




Refitting
When refitting, turn the bulb holder (6) clockwise to lock it into the headlight body.
Reconnect the connector (5) and refit the structures that were removed being careful to insert the tabs (B, fig. 156) into the slots (A, fig. 155) made in the top fairing.

Note
To replace the parking light LED bulb, contact an
Authorised Ducati Service Centre.
Rear turn signals (fig. 157)
Remove the screw (1) and detach the glass (2) from the indicator body holder.
The bulb has a bayonet-type end fitting: to remove it, push it in and turn it counter-clockwise. Push in the new bulb and turn it clockwise until it clicks into place. Refit the cup (2) by inserting the tab into the corresponding slot in the turn signal support.
and tighten the screw (1).



Number plate light (fig. 158)
To access the bulb in the number plate light open the number plate lens (3), pull the bulb (4) out of the holder and replace it.
Beam setting (fig. 159)
When checking beam setting, put the motorcycle upright. Tyres should be inflated at the correct pressure and one person should be sitting astride the motorcycle, keeping it at right angles to its longitudinal axis. Place the motorcycle opposite a wall or a screen, 10 meters apart from it, Draw a horizontal line on the wall at the height of the centre of the headlight and a vertical one in line with the longitudinal axis of the motorcycle.
If possible, perform this check in dim light.
Switch on the low beam headlight.
The height of the upper limit between the dark area and the lit area must not be more than nine tenths of the height of the centre of the headlamp from the ground.

Note
The procedure described here is in compliance with the Italian Standard establishing the maximum height of the light beam.
Owners in other countries should adapt this procedure to the regulations in force in the country where the motorcycle is used.


The height of the headlight beam can be adjusted using the adjusting screws (1, fig. 160) located at the bottom on the sides of the headlight. Turning the screw (1) of the headlight clockwise, the light beam will move downwards: turning it in the opposite direction, will move it upwards. The side position of the headlight can be adjusted using the adjusting screws (2) located at the centre on the upper part of the headlight. Turning the screws (2) on the left side of the headlight clockwise, the light beam will move to the right: turning it in the opposite direction, will move it to the left. To move the light beam in the same manner, turn the screw (2) on the right side of the headlight, inverting the direction of rotation.

Warning
The headlight might fog up if the vehicle is used under
the rain or after washing.
Switch headlight on for a short time to dry up any condensate.


Rear-view mirror adjustment (fig. 161)
The rear-view mirror can be adjusted manually by pressing points (A).

Tubeless tyres
Front tyre pressure:
2.50 bar (rider only) - 2.9 bar (with passenger and/or bags)
Rear tyre pressure:
2.50 bar (rider only) - 2.9 bar (with passenger and/or bags) As tyre pressures are affected by changes in temperature and altitude; check and adjust them whenever you are riding in areas where there are large variations in temperature or altitude.

Important
Check and adjust the pressures with the tyres cold.
To prevent distortion of the front wheel rim, increase tyre pressure by 0.2 ÷ 0.3 bar when riding on bumpy roads.
Tyre repair or change (Tubeless tyres)
With minor punctures, tubeless tyres take a long time to deflate, as they tend to hold the air inside. If you find low pressure on one tyre, check the tyre for punctures.

Warning
Punctured tyres must be renewed.
Replace with tyres of the original brand and type.
Be sure to tighten the valve caps securely to avoid leaks when riding. Never fit tyres with inner tubes, as these can cause the tyre to burst suddenly, with possibly serious consequences for the rider and passenger.
After renewing a tyre, the wheel must be balanced.

Important
Do not remove or alter the position of the wheel balancing weights.

Note
Have the tyres replaced at a Ducati Dealer or authorised Service Centre. Correct removal and installation of the wheels is essential.
as some parts of the ABS (such as sensors and phonic wheels) are mounted to the wheels and require specific adjustment.


Minimum tread depth
Measure tread depth (S, fig. 162) at the point where tread is most worn down.
It should not be less than 2 mm, and in any case not less than the legal limit.

Important
Visually inspect the tyres at regular intervals for cracks and cuts, especially on the side walls, and bulges or large stains that indicate internal damage. Replace them if badly damaged.
Remove any stones or other foreign bodies stuck in the tread.

Checking engine oil level (fig. 163)
Check the engine oil level through the sight glass (1) on the clutch cover. When checking oil level, the motorcycle should be perfectly upright and the engine cold. The oil level should be between the two marks next to the sight glass. If level is low, top up with SHELL Advance Ultra 4 engine oil. Remove the filler plug (2) and top up to correct level. Replace the filler cap.

Important
Engine oil and oil filters must be changed by a Ducati
Dealer or authorised Service Centre at the intervals specified in the scheduled maintenance table reported in the Warranty Booklet.
Viscosity
SAE 15W-50
The other viscosity values shown in the table can be used if the local average temperature falls within the limits specified for that oil viscosity.

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.

Note
Inspect the centre electrode for wear and check spark plug gap, which should be:
0.8÷0.1 mm.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.
Vehicle identification number (VIN);
Every Ducati motorcycle is identified by two identification numbers (see page 9). fig. A specifically shows the frame identification numbers.
