Safety guidelines

We would like to welcome you among Ducati enthusiasts, and congratulate you on your excellent choice of motorcycle. We think you will ride your Ducati motorcycle for long journeys as well as short daily trips. Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A. wishes you smooth and enjoyable riding.

Your motorcycle is the result of Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A.'s on-going research and development efforts. It is important that you preserve its quality standard by strictly observing the maintenance plan and using genuine spare parts. This manual provides instructions on minor maintenance operations. Major maintenance operations are described in the Workshop Manual available to Ducati Authorised Service Centres.

In your own interest, for your safety and in order to guarantee product reliability, you are strongly advised to refer to our authorised Dealers and Service Centres for any operations listed in the scheduled maintenance chart, see page 194.

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

All Ducati motorcycles come with a Warranty Card. The warranty does not apply to motorcycles used in racing competitions.

Tampering with or altering any components, even partially, will make the warranty null and void effective immediately. Improper or poor maintenance, using other than original spare parts or parts not expressly approved by Ducati may invalidate your warranty rights and lead to damage or loss of performance.

Your safety and that of other road users are very important. Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A. recommends that you ride responsibly.

Before using your motorcycle for the first time, read this entire manual carefully and closely follow the guidelines outlined in it. The manual provides full information on proper motorcycle operation and maintenance. In case of any doubts, please contact a Dealer or Authorised Service Centre.

F.A.Q.

1) Why don't I receive any notification of received e-mails?

E-mails are notified only if configured on the telephone source application. Check also that your phone supports the MAP profile.

If so, the DUCATI MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM, during the pairing phase, will send an access request to such profile which can be notified to the user explicitly (depending on the operating system) by requesting access authorisation to message notifications.

2) Why don't I receive any notification of received messages?

Check that your phone supports the MAP profile. If so, the DUCATI MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM, during the pairing phase, will send an access request to such profile which can be notified to the user explicitly (depending on the operating system) by requesting access authorisation to message notifications.

3) Earphones do not connect. Why?

If they have been already paired once, we recommend resetting the earphones and pair them again with the motorcycle (see earphones instruction manual).

4) When I receive a call, the instrument panel displays the caller number but not the name (despite being saved in the contact list).

Check that the phone supports the PBAP profile. If so, the DUCATI MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM, during the pairing phase, will send an access request to such profile which can be notified to the user explicitly (depending on the operating system) by requesting access authorisation to the phone contact list.

5) By activating the Player through the instrument panel, music does not start.

The activation depends on the phone settings. In this case, after activating the Player through the instrument panel, also start the music application on your Smartphone.

6) It happens that the music is played with continuous interruptions.

If the devices have just been connected, it may be that the Bluetooth control unit is still completing the connection phase with the concerned devices. It is furthermore necessary to activate the PBAP and MAP profiles. Therefore, in case of iOS, please refer to point 7). In case of Android, please refer to points 2)4)

7) I do not receive any message notification on my iPhone. Why?

Select Bluetooth in the Setting Menu. In the list "My devices" select "i" next to "Ducati Media System". Flag "Show notifications".

Warning

Bluetooth Headset device manufacturers may incorporate certain changes within the standard protocols over the course of the lifecycle of the device (Smartphones and Earphones).

Warning These char

These changes are outside the control of Ducati and may result in Bluetooth Headset devices functionality becoming impaired (sharing Music, multimedia player, etc.) and may equally affect some types of Smartphones (depending on supported Bluetooth profiles). This is why Ducati cannot guarantee multimedia player proper operation for:

  • any earphones not coming with the "Ducati Kit part no. 981029498";
  • any Smartphones not supporting the required Bluetooth profiles (even though paired to earphones coming with the "Ducati Kit part no. 981029498").

Warning In case of i

In case of interference or noise due to particular conditions of the external environment, the Ducati earphone kit part no. 981029498 also allows sharing the music being played directly from rider helmet to passenger helmet (for further details please refer to the manual of the earphones coming with the Ducati kit part no. 981029498).

Turn indicators

Turn indicators are automatically reset by the instrument panel.

After activating one of the two turn indicators, user can reset them using the button (4) on the left switch. If the turn indicator is not reset manually, the instrument panel will automatically switch it off after the motorcycle has travelled 500 m (0.3 miles) from when the turn indicator was activated. The counter for the distance travelled for automatic deactivation is only activated at speeds below 80 km/h (50 mph). If the calculation of the distance for automatic deactivation is activated and then the motorcycle exceeds a speed of 80 km/h (50 mph), the calculation will be interrupted and will restart when the speed returns below the indicated threshold.

Hazard function (4 turn indicators)

The "Hazard" function turns all four turn indicators on at the same time to signal an emergency condition. Push button (6) to activate the "Hazard" function. Activation is only possible when motorcycle is ON (i.e. when key is turned to "ON" while engine status does not matter). When the "Hazard" function is active, all four turn indicators blink at the same time as well as warning lights (7) on the instrument panel. The "Hazard" function can be disabled both with vehicle on (key turned to "ON") and vehicle off (key turned to OFF) by pressing button (6).

Once the "Hazard" function is activated, if vehicle is turned off (key turned to "OFF"), the function stays active until manually disabled by the user or for 2 hours. After 2 hours, the turn indicators switch OFF automatically in order to save battery charge.

Note

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

DUCATI Monster 659 (2018) - Note - 1

Note

The "Hazard" function has higher priority compared to normal operation of the single turn indicators, this means that, as long as it is active, it will not be possible to activate the single right or left turn indicators.

Immobilizer system

To further improve the anti-theft protection, the motorcycle is equipped with an engine electronic block system (IMMOBILIZER) that is automatically activated every time the instrument panel is switched off.

Inside of each key handgrip there is an electronic device that modulates the signal sent by a special antenna integrated in the ignition switch upon starting.

Such modulated signal represents the "password", that changes upon every starting, that allows the control unit to acknowledge the key and thus starting the engine.

Keys

The motorcycle comes with 2 keys. They contain the "Immobilizer system code". Keys (B) are those for the standard use, i.e. to:

  • start the engine;
  • open the fuel tank plug;
  • open the seat lock.

DUCATI Monster 659 (2018) - Keys - 1

Warning

Separate the keys and use only one of the two to ride the bike.

Riding the motorcycle

Running-in recommendations

DUCATI Monster 659 (2018) - Running-in recommendations - 1

Important

Before using the motorcycle, check for no labels

on the rear-view mirrors; otherwise remove them.

Maximum rotation speed

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

1) up to 1,000 km (600 mi);
2) From 1000 (600) to 2500 km (1553 mi).

up to 1,000 km (600 mi).

During the first 1000 km (600 mi), keep an eye on the rev counter. It should never exceed: 5,500÷6,000 rpm.

During the first hours of riding, it is advisable to 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.

For the first 100 km (60 mi) use the brakes gently.

Avoid sudden or prolonged braking. This will allow the friction material on the brake pads to bed in against the brake discs.

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

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

From 1000 km (600 mi) to 2500 km (1553 mi).

At this point, you can squeeze some more power out of your engine. However never exceed 7,000rpm.

DUCATI Monster 659 (2018) - Important - 1

Important

During the whole running-in period, the

maintenance and service rules recommended in the Warranty Card should be observed carefully. Failure to follow these instructions releases Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A. from any liability whatsoever for any engine damage or shorter engine life.

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

Moving off

1) Squeeze the control lever to disengage the clutch.
2) Push down on gear change lever sharply with the tip of your foot to engage the first gear.
3) Speed up the engine by turning the throttle twistgrip while gradually releasing the clutch lever; 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, proceed as follows: release the twistgrip, pull the clutch lever, shortly speed up to help gears synchronise, shift down (engage next lower gear) and release the clutch.

The controls should be used correctly and timely: when riding uphill do not hesitate to shift down as soon as the motorcycle tends to slow down, so you will avoid stressing the engine and the motorcycle abnormally.

Warning Avoid bars

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

Warning Prolonged

Prolonged wheelies could deactivate the ABS system.

Braking

Slow down in time, shift down to use engine brake and then brake by operating both front and rear brakes. Pull the clutch before the motorcycle stops to avoid engine from suddenly stalling.

Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)

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

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

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

This avoids wheel lockup and preserves traction.

Pressure is raised back up immediately and the control unit keeps controlling the brake until the risk of a lockup disappears.

Normally, the rider will perceive ABS operation as a harder feel or a pulsation of the brake lever and pedal. The front and rear brakes use separate control systems, meaning that they operate independently. Likewise, the ABS is not an integral braking system and does not control both the front and rear brake at the same time.

If desired, the system can be deactivated from the instrument panel, using the "ABS control unit enabling/disabling" function (seepage 94).

DUCATI Monster 659 (2018) - Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) - 1

Warning

When ABS is disabled, the motorcycle restores the standard brake system features; using the two brake controls separately reduces the motorcycle braking efficiency. 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 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 tyres reduce braking efficiency, handling accuracy and stability in a bend.

Stopping the motorcycle

Reduce speed, shift down and release the throttle twistgrip.

Shift down to engage first gear and then neutral.

Stop the engine by pushing the switch (3) up.

Turn the vehicle key off by moving the key in position (2).

Warning

The headlight might fog up due to washing, rain or moisture. Switch headlight on for a short time to help and dry up any condensate.

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

Storing the motorcycle

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 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.

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.

Fuses

To protect the electric components there are seven fuses inside the fuse box, plus two spare fuses. On the remote control switch there are two 30A fuses.

The fuse box (A) is located under the seat. To expose the fuses, lift the box protective cover. Mounting position and ampere capacity are marked on box cover. Refer to the table below to identify the circuits protected by the various fuses and their ratings.

The main fuse (C) is positioned on the solenoid starter. To reach the fuse it is necessary to remove the protection cap: on the remote control switch there is another 30A spare fuse.

A blown fuse can be identified by breakage of the inner filament (F).
