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.
Both rider and pillion passenger must always wear 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.
Both rider and pillion passenger should keep their feet on
the footpegs when the motorcycle is in motion.
Always hold the handlebars firmly with both hands so
you will be ready for sudden changes of direction or in
the road surface. The pillion passenger should always
hold on to the suitable belt on the rear seat with both
hands.
Ride within the law and observe national and local rules.
Always respect speed limits where these are posted.
However, always adjust your speed to the visibility, road
and traffic conditions you are riding in.
Always signal your intention to turn or pull to the next

lane in good time using the suitable turn 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 refueling.
Be extremely careful not to spill fuel on the engine or on
the exhaust pipe when refueling.
Do not smoke when refueling.
While refueling, you may inhale noxious fuel vapors.
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.

8

E

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 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, pillion passenger, luggage and additional
accessories should not exceed 375 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 mud guard 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 73 and that they are in good condition.

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. 14)
The Owner receives a set of keys comprising:

- 1 RED key A

- 2 BLACK keys B

Warning

Red key A has a rubber cover for preserving it in
perfect conditions and avoiding contact with other keys.
Never remove this protection unless really needed.

The 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 (Biposto).

The key A performs the same functions as the keys B,
and is also used to wipe off and re-program other black
keys, if needed.

Note

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

reports their identification number.

Warning

Keep the keys in different places. Store the plate
(1) and the key A in a safe place.
It is also recommended to use always the same black
key to use the bike.

Code card

The keys come with a CODE CARD (fig. 15) that reports:

A) (fig. 16) the electronic code to be used in case of
engine block, i.e. bike did not start after key-ON.

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 override engine block through the
procedure that uses the throttle twistgrip.
In case of faulty immobilizer system, the following
procedure gives the chance to disable “engine block”
function -signalled by the orange EOBD warning light that
comes on (8, fig. 4).
But this operation can be carried out only if the electronic
code indicated on the code card is known.

fig. 15

A

fig. 16

21

E

Procedure to disable immobilizer engine block
through throttle twistgrip

1) Turn the key to ON and fully open throttle. Keep it
open. The EOBD warning light turns off after 8 seconds.

2) Release the throttle as soon as the EOBD warning
light turns off.

3) EOBD pilot light will flash. Count a number of flashes
corresponding to the first figure of the code, open full
throttle and keep the position for 2 seconds, then
release. In this way the input of one figure is
acknowledged, EOBD pilot light comes on and stays on
for 4 seconds. Carry out the same procedure for the
following figures of the code. Failure to do so will cause
the EOBD pilot light to flash 20 times, then it will stay on.
This means that the procedure has been aborted. It will
be necessary to turn the key to OFF and restart from
point (1).

4) Repeat operations described in point (3) up to the last
figure of the code.

5) When you release the throttle, if the code was
inserted in the correct way, you can have two situations,
A or B:
A) the EOBD light starts flashing to indicate that engine

is enabled. The light goes off after 4 seconds, or if the
engine runs faster than 1000 rpm.

B) the CODE light flashes until engine rpm stays below

1000, or until the vehicle is restarted.

6) Should the code NOT be entered correctly both the
EOBD and CODE lights stay on and it is possible to
repeat the procedure starting again from point 2 for as
many times as necessary.

Note

Should the throttle twistgrip be released before the
set time, the warning light turns on again. It is then
necessary to bring the key to OFF and restart the
procedure from point (1).

22

E

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 CPU recognised the code, the CODE light on the
instrument panel will flash briefly. This means that the
immobilizer system has recognised the key code and
enabled engine ignition. When you press the START
button, the engine will start up.

2) If the CODE light stays on, it means that the code has
not been 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.

3) Should the CODE pilot light still be flashing, it means
that an immobilizer system fault was reset (e.g. with the
overriding procedure through throttle grip). Turn the key
to OFF and back to ON, the immobilizer pilot light should
go back to its normal operation (see point 1).

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 recognizing 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, up to 8 keys in total.
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.

E

Ignition switch and steering lock (fig. 17.1 and fig.

17.2)
It is located in front of the fuel tank and has four
positions:
A) ON: lights and engine on;
B) OFF: lights and engine off;
C) LOCK: steering locked;
D) P: parking light on and steering lock.

Note

To move the key to the last two positions, press it
down before turning it. Switching to (B), (C) and (D), you
will be able to take the key out.

Important

This vehicle is equipped with an energy-saving
CPU. If the key stays ON for a long period but the
ignition button is not pressed within 15 seconds, the
CPU will stop operating to avoid current absorption.
Move the key to OFF and then to ON again.

Adjusting the gear change and rear brake pegs

Note

The position of the gear change and rear brake
pedals may be changed by using different combinations
of the upper (A and B) and lower (C, D, E, F and G)
mounting holes to secure the footpeg brackets. The
figure shows gear change footpeg adjustment. The rear
brake footpeg is adjusted by the same procedure.

Warning

Gear change and rear brake footpegs are critical
safety components. Have them adjusted at an Authorized
DUCATI Workshop.
