Useful road safety information Waming 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 entiies you to ride a motorcycle. Do not lend your motorcycle to persons that are inexperienced or do not hold a valid licence. Riders and passengers must always wear appropriate clothing and a safety helmet Do not wear loose clothes or accessories that could become tangled in the controls or limit your field of vision: Never start or run the engine in an enclosed space Exhaust gases are poisonous and may lead to loss of consciousness or even death within a short time. The rider should keep his/her feet on the footrests when the motorcycle is in motion. Always hold the handlebars firmiy with both hands so vou will be ready for sudden changes in direction or in the road surface. The pillion passenger should always hold on to the grabhandies under the seat with both hands. Obey the legal requirements and observe national and local regulations Always respect speed limits where these are indicated and always adapt your speed to suit the current visibility, road and traffic conditions. Always signal your intention to turn or change lane in good time, using the appropriate turn signal indicators. Be sure you are clearly visible and avoid riding within the blind spot of the vehicle in front of you: 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 motonways. 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 if leaving your motorcycle unattended. The engine, exhaust pipes and silencers stay hot for à long time. Waming The exhaust system might still be hot even if the engine is switched off; take special care not to touch exhaust system with any part of your body and do not park the motorcycle next to inflammable material (wood, leaves etc.) Park your motorcycle where no one is likely to knock against it, and use the side stand. Never park on uneven or soft ground, ar your motorcycle may fall over.

Riding with a full load Your motorcycle is designed for travelling over long distances with a full load in complete safety. Even weight distribution is critical for maintaining safety standards, and to avoid getting into difficulties when making sudden manoeuvres or riding on bumpy roadés. Information on load capacity The total weight of the motarcycle in running order with rider, luggage and additional accessories should not exceed 390 kg. Arrange your luggage or heavy accessories in the lowest possible position and as close to centre of the motorcycle as possible. Secure the luggage firmly to the motorcycle structure. Luggage incorrectiy secured may cause the motorcycle to become unstable Never fix 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. Check that the tyres are inflated to the pressure indicated on page 62 and that they are in good condition

Identification data All Ducati motorcycles have two identification numbers, one for the frame (fig. 1) and one for the engine (fig. 2). Frame number Engine number Notes These numbers indicate the motorcycle model, and should be quoted when ordering spare parts. TTAA ty \

Never operate the instrument panel controls while riding

Automatic headlight switch-off This function helps reduce battery use by automatically switching off the headlight. The device is triggered in two cases: =_ in the first case, if you turn the key from OFF to ON and do not start the engine, After 60 seconds the headlight will be deactivated and will only be reactivated the next time the key is turned from OFF to ON or the engine is started in the second case, after normal use of the motorcycle with the lights on, if the engine is kiled using the ENGINE STOP switch (1, fig. 12). In this case, 60 seconds after the engine is stopped, the headlight will be turned off and will only be turned on again the next time the engine is started. Notes Also during engine starting, the system turns the headlight off and turns it back on once the engine has started.

The immobilizer system For additional anti-theft protection, the motorcycle is equipped with an IMMOBILIZER, an electronic system that locks the engine automatically whenever the ignition switch is turned off. The handgrip of each ignition key contains an electronic device that modulates the output signal from a special antenna in the switch when the ignition is switched On. The modulated signal represents the “password” (which is changed at each start-up} by which the ECU recognizes the ignition key. The ECU will only allow the engine to start if it recognises this password. Keys fig. 7) The owner receives a set of keys, comprising - 1 key A (RED) The red key is a service tool and is part of the motorcycle’s immobilizer system. It contains the code of the immobilizer system and should not be used for normal everyday use of your motorcycle. Your dealer may ask you to produce the red key in order to carry out certain service operations. For security reasons, the red key cannot be replaced. In cases where the red key is required for servicing purposes and the owner is unable to produce it, it will be necessary to renew the motorcycle's electronic control unit, instrument panel and ignition switch assembly, and the cost of these operations will be met by the owner. It is therefore important to keep the red key in a safe place. - 2 keys B (BLACK)

Warming The red key (AI has a rubber sleeve to keep it in perfect condition and to prevent contact with other keys. Never remove this protection unless absolutely necessary. The B keys are the keys for normal use, and are used to: = Startthe engine = open the lock on the fuel tank filler cap open the seat lock The À key performs all the same functions as the B keys and it can also be used to reset and re-program other black keys if necessary.

Notes The three keys have a small tag (1} attached, which shows their identification number. Waming Keep the keys separate, and store the tag (1) and key A in a safe place. It is also advisable to use only one of the black keys to start the motorcycle. Code card The keys come with a CODE CARD (fig. 8), which shows: the electronic code (A, fig. 9) to be used if the engine is locked, and if the engine fails to start when the key is at On. CA PES Keep the CODE CARD in a safe place. It is advisable to always carry the electronic code shown on the CODE CARD with you when using the motorcycle, in case it is necessary to override the engine immobilizer by means of the procedure that uses the throttle twistgrip. In case of faulty immobilizer system, the following procedure gives the chance to disable “engine lock" function - Signalled by illumination of the yellow amber EOBD warning light (7, fig. 4.1). This operation is only possible with the electronic code shown on the code card. fig. 8

Procedure to override the immobilizer using the throttle twistgrip

1) Turnthe key to ON, fully open the throttle and hold it open

The EOBD waming light (7, fig. 4.1) goes off after the pre-set time of 8 seconds.

2) Release the throttle twistgrip as soon as the EOBD light

3) The EOBD light flashes. Now enter the electronic release

code shown on the CODE CARD given to the customer when the motorcycle was handed over by the dealer.

4) Count a number of flashes of the EOBD light equal to

the first number of the secret code. Open the throttle twistgrip, hold fully open for 2 seconds, then release it. The digit entered is acknowledged, and the EOBD light comes on and stays on for the pre-set time of 4 seconds. Repeat the operation until you have entered the final digit If no operation is performed with the throttle, the EOBD light will flash 20 times and then come on steadily. In this case, repeat the procedure from step (1).

5) When you release the throttle, if the code was entered

correctiy, the EOBD light flashes to indicate that the engine is unlocked. The EOBD light returns to its normal state (offl after 4 seconds. ) If the code has NOT been entered correctiy, the EOBD light remains lit and the procedure can be repeated as many times as necessary by turning the key to OFF, then re-starting from step (11 Notes If you release the twistgrip too soon, the warning light comes on again. Return the ignition key to OFF and repeat the procedure from step (1).

Operation When the ignition key is tumed from ON to OFF, the immobilizer system activates the engine lock. When the ignition key is turned from OFF to ON to start the engine:

1) ifthe code is recognised, the waming light (6, fig. 4.1) on

the instrument panel wil flash briefiy. This means that the immobilizer system has recognised the code and disabled the engine lock. When you press the START (2, fig. 121 button, the engine will Start up.

2) If either the warning light (6, fig. 4.1) or the EOBD light (7,

fig. 4.1) remain lit, the code has not been recognized. In this case, itis advisable to turn the ignition key back to OFF and then to ON again. If the engine still does not start, try. using another black key. If the engine still does not start, contact the DUCATI Service network.

3) If the warning light (6, fig. 4.1) keeps flashing, it means that

an error signal from the immobilzer system has been cleared {e.g. with the override procedure using the throttle twistgrip} Turn the key to OFF and back to ON; the immobilizer light should return to its normal state (see step 1). Waming Sharp knocks can damage the electronic components inside the key. Always use the same key during the procedure. The use of different keys could prevent the system from recognizing the code in the inserted key. Duplicate keys If you need additional keys, contact your DUCATI Service Centre with all the keys you have in your possession and your CODE CARD. DUCATI Service will program new keys and re-program your original keys (up to a maximum of 8 keys). DUCATI Service may ask for proof that you are the legitimate owner of the motorcycle The codes for any keys not present during the memory programming procedure are cancelled, to ensure that any keys that may have been lost can no longer be used to start the engine. Notes # you sell your motorcycle, do not forget to give all keys and the CODE CARD to the new owner.

Riding the motorcycle Running-in precautions (fig. 34) 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 will release Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A. from any liability for any engine damage or shortened engine life. Max. engine speed Rpm limits to be observed during the running-in period and in normal use: 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 tachometer. The revs should never exceed 6,000 rpm. During the first hours of riding, it is advisable to continuously vary the load on the engine and the rpm, though still keeping within the above limits. For this reason, roads with numerous bends and hilly areas are ideal for running in the engine, brakes and suspension! For the first 100 km, use the brakes gently. Do not brake violentiy or keep brake applied for too long. This will enable à correct break-in of friction material on brake pads against brake discs. To allow all the mechanical moving parts in the motorcycle &0 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 Itis also advisable to check the drive chain frequentiy and ensure that it is lubricated as required.

From 1000 to 2500 km At this point, you can ask for more power from the 0+1000 Km 10002500 Km engine, being careful, however, never to exceed: 7,500 rpm Keeping to the running-in recommendations will ensure longer engine life and reduce the need for overhauls and re-tuning. fig. 34

Pre-ride checks Waming Failure to carry out these checks before starting may result in damage to the motorcycle and injury to rider. Before starting, check the following points: Fuel level in the tank Check the fuel level in the tank. Re-fuel if necessary (page 45). Engine oil level Check the oil level in the sump through the sight glass Top up with recommended oil if needed (page 64). Brake and clutch fluid Check the fluid levels in the respective reservoirs: Coolant Check coolant level in the expansion reservoir. Top up if necessary (page 51) Tyre condition Check the pressure and condition of the tyres (page 62) Controls Operate the brake, clutch, gearchange and throttle controls llever, pedal and twistgrip) and check that they function correcty. Lights and indicators Check that lights, indicators and horn are working properiy. Replace any burnt-out bulbs (page 57) Key locks Check that the fuel filler cap and the seat are locked. Sidestand Make sure the sidestand operates smoothly and is in the correct position (page 30) Waming If there are any faults or malfunctions, do not start the motorcycle and contact your DUCATI Dealer or Authorized Service Centre.

Starting the engine Warning Before starting the engine, familiarise yourself with the controls you will need to use when riding. Never start or run the engine in enclosed space. Exhaust gases are toxic and may lead to loss of consciousness or even death within a short time.

1) Turn the ignition key to ON (fig. 35). Check that both

the green light N and the red light 7 on the instrument panel come on Important The oil pressure warning light should go out a few seconds after the engine has started (page 11) Waming The sidestand should be in the rest position (horizontal), otherwise the safety sensor prevents the engine starting. Notes The engine can be started with the sidestand down and the gearbox in neutral. lf starting with a gear engaged, pull in the clutch lever (in this case the sidestand must be up].

2) Check that the stop switch (1, fig. 36) is positioned to ©

(RUN), then press the starter button (2). This model features servo-assisted starting, Press and immediately release the start button (2) to use the servo-assisted engine starting function When you press button (2 the starter motor runs automatically for a period of time that varies according to the engine temperature. The system disengages the starter motor as soon as the engine starts If the engine fails to start, wait at least 2 seconds before pressing the start button (2) again Allow the engine to start without turning the throttle twistgrip. le Important Do not rev the engine when cold. Allow some time for the oil to warm up and reach all points that need lubricating.

Moving off 1] Disengage the clutch by squeezing the clutch lever.

2) Push down the gearchange lever firmiy with the tip of

your foot to engage first gear. 31 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 change to second gear, close the throttle to reduce

the engine revs, disengage the clutch, lift the gearchange lever and release the clutch lever. To change down, proceed as follows: release the twistgrip, disengage the clutch, briefly accelerate the engine to allow the gears to synchronize, shift down and release the clutch. Use the controls intelligently and opportunely: when riding uphill, change down immediately when the motorcycle begins to slow down, to avoid abnormal stresses on the motorcycle structure as well as on the engine. Important Avoid sudden acceleration, as this may lead to misfiring and transmission snatching. The clutch lever should not be held in longer than necessary after a gear is engaged, otherwise friction parts may overheat and wear out. Braking Slow down in time, change down to use the engine brake, then apply both brakes. Pull in the clutch lever before the motorcycle comes to a stop to prevent the engine stalling.

Warming Use both the brake lever and the brake pedal for effective 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 riding down long, steep downhill slopes, change down to use engine braking. Apply the brakes intermittently for brief periods only. Keeping the brakes applied continuously causes the friction material to overheat and dangerously reduces braking effectiveness. Under-inflated tyres reduce braking efficiency and may. adversely affect handling and road-holding on bends.

Stopping the motorcycle fig. 37) Reduce speed, change down and release the throttle twistgrip. Change down to engage first gear and then neutral Apply the brakes and bring the motorcycle to a complete stop. To switch the engine off, simply turn the key to OFF. le Important Do not leave the key in the ON position when the engine is stopped as this could damage electrical components. Refuelling fig. 38) Do not overfill the tank when refuelling. The fuel level should always be below the rim of the filler recess. A Waming Use fuel with low lead content and an original octane number of at least 95 Check that no fuel is trapped in the filler cap recess. fig. 37 Max level

Parking (fig. 39) Stop and park the motorcycle on the side stand (see page 30). To avoid theft, 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 indoor area, make sure that there is proper ventilation and that the motorcycle is not near a source of heat. If necessary, you can leave the side lights on by tuning the key to position P. le Important Do not leave the key at P for long periods or the. battery will run down. Never leave the motorcycle unattended with the ignition key inserted A Warming The exhaust system might still be hot even if the engine is switched off; take special care not to touch exhaust system with any part of your body and do not park the motorcyele next to inflammable material (wood, leaves etc. Waming Using padiocks or other locks designed to prevent movement of the motorcycle (such as brake disc locks, rear sprocket locks, and so oni is very dangerous, and may impair motorcycle operation and the safety of rider and passenger. fig. 39

Toolkit and accessories The following accessories are stowed under the seat: use and maintenance manual; helmet fastening cable: toolkit for routine maintenance operations and checks. To access the compartment, you need to remove the seat (page 29) and remove the cover (1, fig. 40) unscrewing the special screw with a coin. The toolkit (fig. 41) Contains:

2) spark plug wrench:

Main Maintenance Operations Removing the fairing panels tig. 42) Some parts of the motorcycle fairing have to be removed for certain maintenance or repair operations. Warning Failure to replace or incorrect refitting of any of the components removed could cause parts of the fairing to come loose when riding and the consequent loss of control of the motorcycle. Removing the headlight shell Unscrew and remove the two bolts (1} securing the headight shell to the headlight support Notes Be careful not to lose the nuts for the bolts (1) located on the inside of the headlight shell. Remove the headlight shell (2).

Lifting the fuel tank Waming To prevent fuel from spilling out through the filler cap breather hole, the quantity of fuel in the tank should be less than 5 litres. Remove the seat (page 29), release the catch (1, fig. 43) Lift fuel tank and release service rod (2, fig. 44) from beneath the seat; Rest the tank on the support strut. To replace the tank, perform the above operations in the reverse order. Waming When lowering the fuel tank, take care to position the hoses correctly so they are not pinched or crushed.

the “’Routine maintenance” schedule (see Warranty Card) To access the airbox, lift the fuel tank as described in {page 49). To remove the filter, unhook the tabs (1) securing the cover on both sides of the airbox and remove the cover (2) Remove the old filter cartridge (3, fig. 46) and fit a new one Important A dirty filter reduces the amount of intake air, which increases fuel consumption, reduces engine power and causes deposits to form on the spark plugs Do not use the motorcycle without a filter; as impurities in the air could get into the engine and cause damage Reinstall the filter correctiy in its housing in the airbox, as shown in the figure, and refit al the parts originally removed le Important If the vehicle is used in very damp or dusty conditions the air filter cartridge must be changed more frequently than indicated in the routine maintenance table (Warranty Card).

Checking coolant level fig. 47) Check the coolant level in the expansion tank on the right- hand side of the motorcycle; it must be between the MAX and MIN marks on the tank. If the level is low, top it up. Unscrew the filler cap (1) and add a mixture consisting of water and antifreeze SHELL Advance Coolant or Glycoshell (35-40% of the volume] up to MAX mark. Replace the cap (1). This type of mixture gives the best operating conditions: {the coolant starts to freeze at -20 °C/-4 °F. Cooling circuit capacity: 2,7 dm (litres) A Waming This operation must be carried out with the engine cold and with the motorcycle perfectly level.

Checking the brake and clutch fluid levels fig. 48) The levels should not fall below the MIN marks on the respective reservoirs If the level is too low it can allow air to get into the circuit, thus impairing the efficiency of the relative system. Brake and clutch fluid must be topped up and changed at the intervals specified in the routine maintenance schedule see Warranty Card) by a Ducati Dealer or Authorized Workshop. Important It is recommended that all brake and clutch hoses be renewed every 4 years Brake system I there is excessive play at the brake lever or pedal even though the brake pads are still in good condition, contact à Ducati Dealer or Authorized Workshop to have the system inspected and any air expelled from the circuit. Waming Brake and clutch fluid is harmful to paintwork and plastic parts, so do not allow it to come into contact with them Hydraulic oil is corrosive and can cause damage and injuries. Never mix different quality oils. Check that the seals are in good condition:

Clutch system I there is too much play at the control lever and the motorcycle jumps or stops when a gear is engaged, this indicates air in the system. Contact à Ducati Dealer or Authorized Service Centre to have the system inspected and the air bled from the system. Waming The level of clutch fluid tends to increase in the reservoir as the friction material on the clutch plates wears out. Do not exceed the specified level (8 mm above the minimum level).

Checking the brake pads for wear fig. 49) Front brake The brake pads are marked with wear indicators so that they can be checked without removing them from the calipers. If the grooves in the pad friction material are still visible, the pad is still in good condition Rear brake The thickness of the friction material on each pad must be at least 1 mm. le Important Have the brake pads replaced at a Ducati Dealer or Authorized Service Centre. Adjusting the throttle cable In ail steering positions, the throttle twistgrip should have about 2 - 4 mm of free travel, measured at the outer edge of the twistgrip housing. lf necessary, adjust the play with the adjuster (1, fig. 50) located on the twistgrip itself.

Lubricating cables and joints (ig. 51) The condition of the throttle cable sheaths should be checked at regular intervals. There should be no signs of pinching or cracking on the outer plastic sheath. Operate the control to check that the inner cable slides smoothly: if you feel any rubbing or catching, have the cable replaced by a Ducati Dealer or Authorized Service Centre. To prevent problems, periodically lubricate the ends of each control cable with SHELL Advance Grease or Retinax LX2. In the case of the throttle cable, open the twistgrip housing by unscrewing the two screws (1) and grease the end of the cable and the race. Warming Close the twistgrip housing carefully, inserting the cable in the race. Refit the housing and tighten the screws (1) to 1.8 Nm To ensure smooth operation of the pivot on the sidestand, remove any dirt and apply SHELL Alvania R3 to all points subject to friction.

Charging the battery (fa. 52) Before charging the battery, it is best to remove it from the motorcycle. First disconnect the black negative terminal (-}, then the red positive terminal (#| Release the retaining clamp (1} and remove the battery. Waming The battery produces explosive gases: keep it away from heat sources and flames. Charge the battery in a welkventilated area. Connect the battery charger leads to the battery terminals: red to the positive terminal (#), black to the negative terminal (+. le Important Connect the battery to the charger before switching on to prevent sparks at the battery terminals that could ignite the gases inside the cells. Always connect the red positive terminal first. Waming Keep the battery out of the reach of children Charge the battery at 1 À for 5 to 10 hours

Checking the chain tension (fo. 53) Move the motorcycle slowly until you find the point at which the upper section of the chain is most taut. Place the motorcycle on its sidestand. Push the chain upwards with a finger in correspondence with the centre of the swingarm (see adhesive label). The bottom run of the chain must be able to deflect 30 to 32 mm If not, have the chain tensioned at a Ducati Dealer or Authorized Workshop. Warming For the safety of the rider, it is essential that the eccentric hub clamp bolts are correctly tightened. Important An incorrectly tensioned chain will cause the rapid wear of transmission parts. Lubrication of the drive chain The chain fitted on your motorcycle has O-rings to protect its moving parts from dirt, and to hold the lubricant inside. 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. fig. 53 le Important Using non-specific lubricants may cause severe damage to the chain and the front and rear sprockets.

Replacing bulbs Before replacing a burnt-out bulb, make sure that the new one complies with voltage and wattage as specified in the “Electrical System” for that lighting device at page 78. Headlight (fig. 54) To facilitate access to the headlight for servicing, remove the headlight shell as explained in “Removing the headlight shell” (page 48) To access the headlight bulbs, unscrew the lower screw {1} securing the lens/reflector assembly to the headlight body. Disconnect the wiring connector (2, fig. 56) from the headlight bu. Release the bulb retaining clip (3, fig. 55) and remove the bulb from its housing.

Fit a new bulb (4, fig. 56) Notes Do not touch the transparent part of the bulb with your fingers, this will darken it and cause a loss of brightness. Insert the tabs on the bulb base into the corresponding slots in the bulb housing to ensure the bulb is correctly positioned: hook the end of the clip (3, fig. 55) on to the headlight LA ountings. Reconnect the wiring To replace the parking light bulb, detach its wiring connector The bulb (5, fig. 57) is of the bayonet type: push it in and turn it anti-clockwise to remove it. Push the new bulb in and tu it clockwise until i clicks into place. Reconnect the wiring connector and replace the lens/reflector assembly.

The bulb has a bayonet- type base: 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 lens.

Number plate light (io. 60) To access the bulb in the number plate light (3), pull the bulb holder out from the light, then pull the bulb out of the holder and renew it

Headlight aim (fig. 61) To check the headlight aim, place the motorcycle upright with the tyres inflated to the correct pressure and one person sitting astride the motorcycle. The motorcycle should be perfectly vertical, with its longitudinal axis at right angles to a wall or screen at a distance of 10 metres. 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 conditions of low ambient 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. Notes Note: this procedure is the one specified by Italian regulations for checking the maximum height of light bearns. Owners in other countries should adapt this procedure to the regulations in force in the country where the motorcycle is used. The vertical aim of the headlamp is adjusted by tuming the screws (1, fig. 62) that attach it to the side mountings. fig. 61

Tyres Front tyre pressure: 2,1 bar -2.3 kg/em? Rear tyre pressure, 2,2 bar -2.4 kg/em? 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. le Important Check and adjust the pressures with the tyres cold To prevent distortion of the front wheel rim, increase tyre pressure by 0.2 to 0.3 bar when riding on bumpy road.

Repairing or renewing tyres With minor punctures, tubeless tyres take a long time to deflate, as they tend to hold the air inside. If you find that one of the tyres is slightiy deflated, check the tyre for slow punctures. Warming Punctured tyres must be renewed. Replace with tyres of the original brand and type. Be sure to tighten the valve dust caps securely to prevent leaks while 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. © Notes If tyres need changing, contact a Ducati Dealer or Authorized Service Centre to make sure wheels are removed and refitted correctly.

Minimum tread depth Measure the tread depth (S, fig. 63) at the point where the tread is most worn. 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. fig. 63

Checking the engine oil level tg. 64) Check the engine oil level through the sight glass (1) on the right-hand crankcase cover. When checking oil level, the motorcycle should be upright and the engine cold. The oil level should be between the marks next to the sight glass. Top up oil level with SHELL Advance Ultra 4, if low. Undo the filler cap (2) and top up to correct level. Replace the filler cap. le Important Engine oil and oil filters must be changed by a Ducati Dealer or Authorized Workshop at regular intervals, as specified in the routine maintenance schedule {see Warranty Card) Oil viscosity SAE 10W-40 The other viscosity values shown in the table can be used if the local average temperature is within the limits: specified for that oil viscosity.

Cleaning and renewing the spark plugs (fig. 65) Spark plugs are an important part of the engine and should be checked at regular intervals. This is a relatively simple operation and provides a good indication of how well the engine is running Disconnect the HT leads from the spark plugs and remove them from the cylnder heads with the wrench provided. Check the colour of the ceramic insulation around the central electrode: an even brown colour is à sign that the engine is in good condition: If the insulation is any other colour, or if there are dark deposits, renew the spark plug and describe the condition of the old plug to a Ducati dealer or Authorized Service Centre. Also check the central electrode; if it is worn or glazed, renew the spark plug. Check the electrode gap, which must be: 0,6:0,7 mm Important Take care when bending the side electrode to adjust the gap. À gap outside the specified limits will adversely affect engine performance and may lead to difficult starting or erratic idling. Thoroughly clean the electrode and insulation using a wire brush, and check the condition of the washer. Clean the spark plug socket on the head and take care not to allow foreign bodies to fall into the combustion chamber. 0,6+0,7 mm fig. 65 Insert the spark plug in the cylinder head and screw in fully by hand. Tighten to a torque of 20 Nm. If you da not have a torque wrench, after tightening by hand, turn the unit a further half turn with the provided wrench. le Important Do not use spark plugs with an unsuitable heat rating or incorrect reach The spark plug must be tightened correctly.

General cleaning To preserve the original Shine on metal surfaces and paintwork, wash and clean your motorcycle at regular intervals depending on the type of use and according to the particular road conditions. Use specific products, where possible biodegradable. Avoid aggressive detergents or solvents. 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 high-pressure washers may lead to seizure or severe failure of the front forks, wheel axles, electrical system, front fork seals, air inlets or exhaust silencers and adversely affect the operation of motorcycle safety features. If parts of the engine are unusually dirty or greasy, use a degreasing agent, avoiding contact with transmission components (chain, front and rear sprockets, etc.) Rinse with warm water and dry all surfaces with chamois leather. Warming 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.

Storing the motorcycle If the motorcycle is to be left unused for a long period, it is advisable to carry out the following operations first: clean the motorcycle; drain the fuel from fuel tank; pour a few drops of engine oil into the cylinders through the park plug bores, then crank the engine by hand a few times. to form a protective film of oil on the cylinder inner walls; support the motorcycle on the sidestand: disconnect and remove the battery. If the motorcycle has been left unused for more than a month, the battery should be checked and re-charged if necessary. Protect the motorcycle with a special motorcycle cover that will not damage the paintwork or retain moisture. This type of motorcycle cover is available from Ducati Performance. Important notes The legislation in some countries (France, Germany, Great Britain, Switzerland etc.) sets certain noise and pollution standards. 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.

Control of hydrocarbons is very important because under certain conditions, they react to form photochemical smog when subjected to sunlight.

USA Ru Carbon monoxide does not react in the same way, but is toxic. Ducati utilizes lean carburetor settings and other systems to reduce carbon manoxide and hydrocarbons. Exhaust Emission Control System The Exhaust Emission Control System is composed of lean carburetor settings, and no adjustments should be made except idie 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 ges is returned to the combustion chamber through the air cleaner and the throttie body. Evaporative Emission Control System California motorcycles are equipped with an evaporative emission contral 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 waming 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. {2i Removal or puncturing of any part of the intake system (81 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 shoud 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 2 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). usA Ki Waming Before starting engine, check for proper operation of brake, clutch, shifter, throttle controls, correct fuel and oil Supply.

USA Ru 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 45). 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. Waming 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 91.
