Possibility of damaging the motorcycle and/or its components.

Note

Additional information on the job being carried out.

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.

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

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

The rider must always wear adequate clothing and a safety helmet.

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

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

Keep your 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.

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 indicators.

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

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

Always turn off the engine when refuelling.

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

Do not smoke when refuelling.

While refuelling, you may inhale noxious fuel vapours.

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

Always remove the key when you leave your motorcycle unattended.

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

Warning

The exhaust system might be hot, even after engine is switched off; pay particular attention not to touch exhaust system with any body part and do not park the vehicle next to inflammable material (wood, leaves etc.).

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

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

Carrying the maximum load allowed

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

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

Information about carrying capacity

The total weight of the motorcycle in running order including rider, luggage and additional accessories should not exceed: 320 Kg.

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

Be sure to secure the luggage to the supports provided on the motorcycle as firmly as possible. Improperly secured luggage may affect stability.

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

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

Make sure the tyres are inflated to the proper pressure indicated at page 85 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

Backlighting function

Instrument panel backlighting is active only if the parking light or the low/high beam is on.

In this case the instrument panel automatically turns on or off the backlighting, thanks to some sensors measuring light condition and ambient temperature.

Headlight "smart" auto-off

This function allows you to reduce current consumption from the battery, by automatically managing headlight switching-off. The device is enabled in three instances:

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

Headlight "Smart" SWITCH-ON

This function lets you set the headlight to switch on for a predetermined period of time after Key-Off.

The instrument panel stays active for 60 seconds soon after Key-Off, and the headlight can be switched on by pressing button (1, fig. 8) in position B .

During this 60-second time period, the instrument panel will turn on the headlight for 30 seconds each time the button (1, fig. 8) is pressed in position B "▼", at each press of the button (1, fig. 8) in position B "▼", the headlight will stay on for an additional 30 seconds, up to 180 seconds maximum (six presses of the button).

After the first press of the button (1, fig. 8) in position B "▼", the 30-second countdown STARTs and the headlight is turned on; if the button is pressed a second time within these 30 seconds, the headlight will stay on an additional 30 seconds; after the 30 seconds have timed out, the function will no longer work and the instrument panel will switch off the headlight.

The function will work again after a Key-On / Key-Off sequence.

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

The immobilizer system

For improved anti-theft protection, the motorcycle is equipped with an IMMOBILIZER, an electronic system that inhibits engine operation whenever the ignition switch is turned off.

Accommodated in the handgrip of each ignition key is an electronic device that modulates an output signal. This signal is generated by a special antenna incorporated in the switch when the ignition is turned on and changes every time. The modulated signal acts as a password and tells the CPU that an "authorised" ignition key is being used to start up the engine. When the CPU recognises the signal, it enables engine start-up.

Keys (fig. 24)

The Owner receives a set of keys comprising:

• 2 (BLACK) keys B

These keys contain the "immobilizer system code".

Note

Your Ducati dealer might ask you to submit the Code

Card for some service operations.

The black keys (B) are regular ignition keys and are used to:

• start up the engine
• open the lock of the fuel tank filler plug
• open the seat lock.

Note

The two keys have a small plate (1) attached that

reports their identification number.

Warning

• Keep the keys in different places. Store the plate (1) in the place.

It is advisable to always use the same black key to start the engine.

Code Card

The CODE CARD (fig. 25) supplied with the keys reports an electronic code (A, fig. 26) to start the engine in the event it fails to start after key-ON because the immobilizer system inhibited the ignition.

Warning

Keep the CODE CARD in a safe place. However, it is advisable to keep the electronic code printed on the CODE CARD handy when you ride your motorcycle, in case it is necessary to enable the engine through the procedure described below. This procedure lets you disable the "engine block" function - indicated by the amber Check Vehicle light (9, fig. 4) coming on - in the event of problems with the immobilizer system.

But this operation can be carried out only if the electronic code indicated on the code card is known.

Warning

1 Your Dealer will ask you to submit your Code Card to reprogram the immobilizer system in the event you lose a key or when you need a replacement key.

Immobilizer override procedure

In the event of an "Immobilizer BLOCK", you will have to perform the "Immobilizer override procedure" from the instrument panel; enter the corresponding function as described below:

Enter the menu and go to page "CODE".

Note

This menu should only be active when at least one

Immobilizer error is present.

This page shows a default "00000" code; press button (1, fig. 8) in position B "▼" for 3 seconds to access the electronic code entry procedure.

Entering the code:

when you access this function, the first digit on the left will flash.

Button (1, fig. 8):

each time you press the button in position B "▼", the digit will increase by one unit per second;

if you press the button in position A "▲", you will move to the second digit, which will start to flash. Each time you press the button in position B "▼", the digit will increase by one unit per second;

if you press the button in position A "▲", you will move to the third digit, which will start to flash. Each time you press the button in position B "▼", the digit will increase by one unit per second;

if you press the button in position A "▲", you will move to the fourth digit, which will start to flash. Each time you press the button in position B "▼", the digit will increase by one unit per second;

if you press the button in position A "▲", you will move to the fifth digit, which will start to flash. Each time you press the button in position B "▼", the digit will increase by one unit per second;

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

If the code has been entered correctly, the word "CODE" and the code you just entered will flash for 4 seconds; the Check Vehicle light (9, fig. 4) goes out; the instrument panel automatically exits the menu and the engine start-up inhibition is temporarily overridden.

If the error is still present at the next Key-On, the instrument panel error and the inhibited status will persist.

If the code is not entered correctly, the instrument panel reverts to the "CODE" menu and the default "00000" code.

Operation

When the ignition key is turned to OFF, the immobilizer inhibits engine operation. When the ignition key is turned back to ON to start the engine, the following happens:

1) if the code is recognised, the immobilizer enables engine ignition. Press the START button (2, fig. 31), to start the engine;
2) if the Check Vehicle light (9, fig. 4) comes on and the page with the message "Error IMMO" is displayed when you press button (1, fig. 8) in position , it means that the code was not recognised. When this is the case, turn the ignition key back to OFF and then to ON again. If the engine still does not start, try with another black key. If the other key does not work out either, contact the Ducati Service network.

Warning

The keys accommodate electronic components inside.

If dropped or hit, they might damage.

Use only one key during the procedure. Failure to do so might prevent the system from recognising the code of the key in use.

Duplicate keys

If you need any duplicate keys, contact the Ducati Service network with all the keys you have left and your CODE CARD.

Ducati Service will program new keys and re-program your original keys.

You may be asked to identify yourself as the legitimate owner of the motorcycle. Be sure you have any documents you might need to this end ready.

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.

Note

If you sell your motorcycle, do not forget to give all keys and the CODE CARD to the new owner.

Changing motorcycle track alignment

(fig. 46 and fig. 47)

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

Modifying factory setting is a very delicate operation, which may lead to serious damages if carried out by unskilled people.

Before changing standard setting, measure the reference value (H, fig. 46).

The rider can modify track alignment according to his/her needs by changing working position of the shock absorber.

To change track alignment, loosen the check nut (1), apply an open-end wrench to the flats (2) and set as required. When finished, tighten the nut (1) to 25 Nm.

Directions for use

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

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

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

Running-in recommendations

Maximum rpm (fig. 48)

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

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

Up to 1000 km

During the first 1000km keep an eye on the revolution meter. The indicator must not 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 suspensions.

From 1000 to 2500km

At this point, you can squeeze some more power out of your engine. However never exceed 7000 rpm.

Important

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

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

Pre-ride checks

Warning

Failure to carry out these checks before riding, may

lead to motorcycle damage and injury to rider.

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

Fuel level in the tank

Check fuel level in the tank. Fill tank if needed (page 64).

Engine oil level

Check oil level in the sump through the sight glass. Top up if needed (page 87).

Brake and clutch fluid

Check fluid level in the relevant reservoirs (page 72).

Coolant level

Check coolant level in the expansion reservoir. Top up if necessary (page 70).

Tyre condition

Check tyre pressure and condition (page 85).

Controls

Work the brake, clutch, throttle and gear change controls (levers, pedals and twistgrips) and check for proper operation.

Lights and indicators

Make sure lights, indicators and horn work properly. Replace any burnt-out bulbs (page 80).

Key-operated locks

Check that fuel filler plug is closed firmly (page 50).

Stand

Make sure side stand operates smoothly and is in the correct position (page 51).

Warning

In case of malfunction, do not ride the motorcycle and contact a Ducati Dealer or Authorised Workshop.

Starting the engine

Note

Follow the "High ambient temperature" procedure to start the engine when it is warm.

Warning

Before starting the engine, become familiar with the controls you will need to use when riding (see page 10).

Regular ambient temperature

(10°C/50°F to 35°C/95°F):

1) Move the ignition key to ON (fig. 49). Make sure both the green light N and the red light on the instrument panel come on.

Important

The oil pressure light should go out a few seconds after the engine has started (page 11).

Warning

The side stand must be fully up (in a horizontal position) as its safety sensor prevents engine start when down.

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).

2) Move the cold start lever (1) to position (B, fig. 50).
3) Check that the stop switch (2, fig. 50) is positioned to (RUN), then press the starter button (3, fig. 50).

This model is equipped with a servoignition system.

To achieve assisted engine starting, press the button (3) and release it immediately.

Pressing the button (3) operates automatic engine cranking for a maximum period of time that varies depending on engine temperature.

When the engine has started, the system prevents the starter motor from turning over.

If the engine fails to start, allow at least 2 seconds before pressing the starter button (3) again.

Let the engine start without using the throttle control.

Note

If the battery is flat, the system will automatically

inhibit engine cranking (starter motor).

4) Gradually move the cold start lever (1) to the vertical position (A) (fig. 50).

Warning

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

High ambient temperature (over 35^ / 95^ ):

Follow the same procedure for "Regular ambient temperature", however, do not use the cold start device (1, fig. 50).

Cold ambient temperature (below 10^ / 50^ ):

Follow the procedure for "Regular ambient temperature", however allow 5 minutes for the engine to warm up.

Moving off

1) Disengage the clutch squeezing the control lever.
2) Push down on gear change lever sharply with the tip of your foot to engage the first gear.
3) Speed up engine, by turning the throttle twistgrip and slightly releasing the clutch lever at the same time; the motorcycle will start moving off.
4) Let go of clutch lever and speed up.
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, release the twistgrip, pull the clutch control lever, shortly speed up to help gears synchronise, shift down 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 tends to slow down, so you will avoid stressing the engine and the motorcycle abnormally.

Important

Avoid harsh accelerations, as this may lead to misfiring and transmission snatching. The clutch lever should not be pulled longer than necessary after gear is engaged, or 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.

Warning

Use both brake lever and pedal for effective braking.

Using only one of the brakes will give you less braking power.

Never use brake controls harshly or violently or you may lock the wheels and lose control of the motorcycle.

When riding in the rain or on slippery surfaces, braking will become less effective. 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 all the time would cause the friction material to overheat and reduce braking power dangerously. Underinflated or overinflated tyres reduce braking efficiency, handling accuracy and stability in a bend.

Stopping the motorcycle

If you let go of the throttle twistgrip, the motorcycle will slow down gradually and smoothly. Then, shift down releasing the clutch, and finally change from first to neutral. Apply brakes and you will bring the motorcycle to a complete stop. To switch the engine off, simply turn the key to OFF (page 41).

Parking

Stop the motorcycle, then put it on the side stand (see page 51).

Turn the handlebar fully left and block it by pushing in the ignition key and turning it to the LOCK position.

If you park in a garage or other facilities, make sure that there is proper ventilation and that the motorcycle is not near a source of heat.

You may leave the parking lights on by turning the key to position P.

Important

Do not leave the key turned to P for long periods or the

battery will run down. Never leave the ignition key in the switch when you are leaving your bike unattended.

Warning

The exhaust system might be hot, even after engine is

switched off; pay particular attention not to touch exhaust system with any body part and do not park the vehicle next to inflammable material (wood, leaves etc.).

Warning

Using padlocks or other locks designed to prevent motorcycle motion, such as brake disc locks, rear sprocket locks, and so on is dangerous and may impair motorcycle operation and affect rider safety.

Refuelling (fig. 51)

Never overfill the tank when refuelling. Fuel should never be touching the rim of filler recess.

Warning

Use low-lead fuel with 95 octane rating at origin

minimum (see "Top-ups" table, page 96).

Be sure there is no fuel trapped in the filler recess.

Unscrew the screw (1) that holds the headlight fairing to the headlight support.

Note

After refitting the headlight fairing, refit the side fairings and the rear-view mirrors.

Checking and topping up coolant level

(fig. 59)

Check coolant level in the expansion tank on the right side of the motorcycle; it should be between the MIN (1) and MAX (2) level marks.

Top up if the level is below the MIN mark.

Note

Coolant level is better visible when looking up at the tank from the lower left side through the gap between front wheel and right fairing.

Remove the right fairing (see page 67). Unscrew the filler plug (3, fig. 60) and add a mixture consisting of water and antifreeze SHELL Advance Coolant or Glycoshell (35÷ 40% of the volume) up to MAX mark.

Refit the filler plug (3) and reassemble all removed parts. This mixture improves operating conditions (coolant will start freezing at -20^ / - 4^

Cooling circuit capacity: 4 cu. dm (litres).
Thermostat begins to open at 65^ ± 2^ .
Fan switches on at 102^ .
Fan switches off at 100^ .

Warning

Place the motorcycle upright on a flat surface and

make sure the engine is cold before proceeding.

Checking brake and clutch fluid level

Level should never drop below the MIN marks on the tanks (fig. 61) (shown in the figure are the front and rear brake fluid tanks).

If level drops below the limit, air might get into the circuit and affect the operation of the system involved.

Brake and clutch fluid must be topped up and changed at the intervals specified in the scheduled maintenance chart reported in the Warranty Card; please contact a Dealer or Authorised Workshop.

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 Dealer or an Authorised Workshop to have the system inspected and any air drained out of the circuit.

Warning

Brake and clutch fluid will damage paintwork and

plastic parts if accidentally spilled. Hydraulic oil is corrosive; it may cause damage and lead to severe injuries. Never mix different quality oils.

Check seals for proper sealing.

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 Dealer or an Authorised Workshop to have the system inspected and air drained out.

Warning

Clutch fluid level will increase as clutch plate friction

material wears down. Do not exceed specified level

(3 mm above minimum level).

Checking brake pads for wear (fig. 63)

To facilitate inspection without removing the pads from the callipers, brake pads have a wear mark. If the grooves in the friction material are still visible, the pad is still in good condition.

Important

Have the brake pads replaced at a Dealer or Authorised Workshop.

Lubricating 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. Work the controls to make sure the cables slide smoothly inside the sheaths: if you feel any friction or jamming, have the cable replaced by a Dealer or Authorised Workshop.

To avoid this kind of problem with the throttle cable, unscrew the two retaining screws (1, fig. 64) to open the case and then grease cable ends and pulley with SHELL Advance Grease or Retinax LX2 grease.

Warning

Close the case carefully after threading the cables onto.
ulley.

Refit the cover and tighten the screws (1) to 10Nm .

To ensure smooth operation of side stand joint, clean off any dirt and apply SHELL Alvania R3 at all points exposed to friction.

Adjusting throttle control free play

The throttle twistgrip must have a free play of 1.5÷ 2.0 mm measured at the edge of the twistgrip, at all positions of the handlebars. If it needs adjusting, use the suitable adjusters (1 and 2, fig. 65) provided on the throttle control.

Adjuster (1) is for throttle opening, adjuster (2) for closing. For major adjustments of the throttle cable use the adjuster (3) on the right side of the throttle body.

Slip the rubber gaiter off the adjuster and loosen the check nut. Adjust adjusters proportionally: turn clockwise to increase play, counter clockwise to decrease it. When finished, tighten the check nuts and refit the rubber gaiters to the adjusters.

Checking drive chain tension

Important

Have chain tension adjusted by a Dealer or Authorised

Workshop.

With the motorcycle on the side stand, push down on the lower stretch of chain with one finger, release the chain and measure the distance between the aluminium section of the swinging arm and chain pin centres. Distance should be between 52 ÷ 54 mm.

Adjust chain tension as follows.

Loosen rear wheel shaft nut (1, fig. 69.2).

Tighten screw (2) (clockwise) on either sides of the swingarm by equal amounts to increase chain tension or loosen them to slacken chain. In this last instance, it is necessary to push the wheel forward.

Ensure that reference marks (A) on either sides of the swingarm match; in this way wheel alignment is guaranteed.

Warning

Correct tightening of tensioner check nuts (1, fig. 69.2)

is critical to rider safety.

Important

Improper chain tension will lead to early wear of

transmission parts.

Chain lubrication

The chain fitted on your motorcycle has O-rings that keep dirt out of and lubricant inside the sliding parts.

The seals might be irreparably damaged if the chain is cleaned using any solvent other than those specific for O-ring chains or washed using steam or water cleaners.

After cleaning, blow the chain dry or dry it using absorbent material and apply SHELL Advance Chain or Advance Teflon Chain on each link.

Important

Using non-specific lubricants may lead to severe

damage to chain, front and rear sprocket.

Replacing the high and low beam bulbs Before replacing a burnt-out bulb, make sure that the new one complies with voltage and wattage as specified in the section covering the Electric System for that lighting device (page 102). Always test the new lamp before refitting the parts you have removed.

Shown in fig. 70 are the locations of the low beam bulb (LO), high beam bulb (HI) and parking light bulb (1).

Headlight

To gain access to the right bulb, turn the ring nut (2) of the upper lamp holder counter clockwise and extract the burnt-out bulb. Fit a new bulb with equal rating.

On refitting, turn the ring nut (2) clockwise to lock the bulb in place.

To gain access to the left bulb and replace it, follow the same procedure as for the right bulb.

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 brilliance.

Refitting

After replacing the burnt-out bulb, refit the cover and press it against the lever to close it.

Replacing the parking light bulb

To gain access to the parking light bulbs (1), insert your hand into the light support and extract the bulb holders from their seat; turn the bulb ring nut (1) counter clockwise and extract the burnt-out bulb.

Replace the burnt-out bulb.

On refitting, turn the bulbs (1) clockwise to lock them in place.

Rear turn indicators (fig. 73)

To change the rear turn indicator bulbs, rotate the indicator body (1) through one quarter of a turn so that the lens is up and extract indicator body from the indicator light unit. The bulb is of the banjo-type: press and rotate anticlockwise to remove. Fit the spare bulb by pressing and turning clockwise until it clicks. Refit the indicator body (3); rotate it through one quarter of a turn to secure it to indicator light unit.

Number plate light (fig. 74)

To gain access to the number plate light bulb, unscrew the screws (3) that retains the number plate holder to the tail guard.

Remove the number plate holder, remove the bulb and replace it.

Beam setting (fig. 75)

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, then draw a horizontal line dictated by headlamp centre and a vertical one in line with the longitudinal axis of motorcycle. If possible, perform this check in dim light.

Switch on the low beam.

The height of the light spot (measured at the upper limit between dark and lighted-up area) should not exceed 9/10th of the height from ground of headlamp centre.

Note

The procedure described here is in compliance with

the Italian Standard establishing the maximum height of the light beam.

Owners in other countries will adapt said procedure to the provisions in force in their countries.

The side position of the left beam can be corrected using the screw (1, fig. 76) on the rear side of the headlamp. Turn the screw clockwise to move the beam to the right, counter clockwise to move it to the left.

The height of the left beam can be corrected using the screw (2, fig. 76) on the rear side of the headlamp. Turn the screw clockwise to lower the beam, anticlockwise to raise it. Repeat the process to adjust the right beam.

Rear-view mirror adjustment (fig. 77)

The rear-view mirror can be adjusted manually by pressing on point (A).

Tubeless tyres

Front tyre pressure:

2.2 bar - 2.3 Kg/sq. cm

Rear tyre pressure:

2.2 bar - 2.4 Kg/sq. cm

As tyre pressure is affected by temperature and altitude variations, you are advised to check and adjust it whenever you are riding in areas where ample variations in temperature or altitude occur.

Important

Check and set tyre pressure when tyres are cold.

To avoid front wheel rim distortion, when riding on bumpy roads, increase front tyre pressure by 0.2 - 0.3 bar.

Tyre repair or change (Tubeless tyres)

In the event of a tiny puncture, tubeless tyres will take a long time to deflate, as they tend to keep air inside. If you find low pressure on one tyre, check the tyre for punctures.

Warning

A tyre must be replaced when punctured.

Only fit tyres of the same type as original-equipment tyres. Be sure to tighten the valve caps securely to avoid leaks when riding. Never use tube type tyres. Failure to heed this warning may lead to sudden tyre bursting and to serious danger to rider and passenger.

After replacing a tyre, the wheel must be balanced.

Important

Do not remove or shift the wheel balancing weights.

Note

Have the tyres replaced at a Dealer or Authorised

Workshop to ensure correct removal and installation of the wheels.

Minimum tread depth

Measure tread depth (S, fig. 78) at the point where tread is most worn down.

It should not be less than 2mm and anyway not below the legal limit.

Important

Visually inspect the tyres at regular intervals for cracks and cuts, especially on the side walls, bulges or large spots that are indicative of internal damage. Replace them if badly damaged.

Remove any stones or other foreign bodies caught in the tread.

Checking engine oil level (fig. 79)

Engine oil level can be checked through the sight glass (1) provided on the clutch cover. Oil level must be checked with the motorcycle perfectly upright and the engine cold. Oil level should be between the marks on the sight glass. Top up oil level with SHELL Advance Ultra 4, if low. Undo the filler plug (2) and top up to correct level. Refit the plug.

Important

Engine oil and oil filters must be changed by a Dealer

or Authorised Workshop at the intervals specified in the scheduled maintenance chart reported in the Warranty Card.

Viscosity

SAE 15W-50

The other viscosity degrees indicated in the table can be used if the local average temperature is within the limits specified for that oil viscosity.

Cleaning and replacing the spark plugs (fig. 80)

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

This operation provides an indication of engine condition. Have the spark plugs checked and replaced (as required, a Dealer or Authorised Workshop, who will check the col of the ceramic insulator of the centre electrode; a uniform light brown colour indicates good engine condition.

Note

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

2-0.8±0.1 mm

Important

If gap is too wide or too close, engine performance will be affected. This could also cause misfiring or irregular idling.

Cleaning the motorcycle

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 only. Prefer biodegradable products. Avoid aggressive detergents or solvents.

Important

Do not wash your motorcycle right after use. When the motorcycle is still hot, water drops will evaporate faster and spot hot surfaces. Never clean the motorcycle using hot or high-pressure water jets. Cleaning the motorcycle with water cleaners may lead to seizure or severe failure of front fork, wheel hub assembly, electric system, front fork seals, air inlets or exhaust silencers and adversely affect the operation of motorcycle safety features.

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 chamos leather.

Warning

Braking performance may be impaired immediately after washing the motorcycle. Never grease or lubricate the brake discs. Loss of braking and further accidents may occur. Clean the discs with an oil-free solvent.

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 seats, then crank the engine by hand a few times so a protective film of oil will spread on cylinder inner walls; place the motorcycle on the service stand;

disconnect and remove the battery.

Battery should be checked and charged (or replaced, as required) whenever the motorcycle has been left unridden for over a month.

Protect the motorcycle with a suitable canvas. This will protect paintwork and let condensate breathe out.

The canvas 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.

It is the Owner's responsibility to have any parts not in compliance with the standards in force in his/her country replaced with genuine Ducati spare parts and parts complying with local law.

Important only for Australia

Tampering with noise control system is prohibited.

Owners are warned that the law may prohibit:

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

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, U.S. Department of Transportation, 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: [phone] - Fax: [phone].

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 50).

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 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.

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.

IV. Legal rights

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.
