Useful road safety information

Warning

Read this section before riding your motorcycle.

Many accidents are the result of the inexperience of the
rider. Always make sure you have your licence with you; you
need a valid licence that entitles you to ride a motorcycle.
Do not lend your motorcycle to persons who are
inexperienced or do not hold a valid licence.
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 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.
In order to be prepared for any change of direction or
variations in the road surface, always hold the handlebars
firmly with both hands. The pillion passenger should
always hold on to the seat strap with both hands.
Obey the legal requirements and observe national and local
regulations.
Always respect speed limits where these are indicated.
However, always adapt your speed to suit the current
visibility, road and traffic conditions.
Always indicate in good time when you intend to turn or
change lane, using the turn indicators.

Be sure you are clearly visible and avoid riding within the
blind spot of a 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
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 if leaving your motorcycle
unattended.
The engine, exhaust pipes, and silencers remain hot for a
long time.

Warning

The exhaust system may still be hot even after
engine is switched off; so take special care not to touch
it with any part of the 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 sidestand.
Never park on uneven ground or soft terrain or the
motorcycle may fall over.

E

7

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 roads.

Information on load capacity

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

E

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 incorrectly secured may cause the motorcycle to
become unstable.
Never attach bulky or heavy objects to the top yoke or front
mudguard, as this would cause dangerous instability.
Do not insert objects into gaps in the frame, where they
could interfere with moving parts.
Check that the tyres are inflated to the pressure indicated
on page 58 and that they are in good condition.

Automatic headlight switch-off function

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 turned odd and will only turn on
again 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 killed using the
ENGINE STOP switch (1, fig. 13). 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

B

A

1

fig. 7

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

E

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)

Warning

The red key (A) has a rubber sleeve to keep it in perfect
condition, and 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:

- start the engine

- open the lock on the fuel tank filler cap

- open the seat lock.
The A 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.

16

Notes

fig. 8Afig. 9

The three keys are supplied attached to a small tag

(1, fig. 7) bearing their identification number.

Warning

Keep the keys separate, and store the tag (1, fig. 7)
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.

Warning

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 the event of faults in the immobilizer system, the following
procedure makes it possible to disable the “engine lock”
function, which is indicated by the yellow-amber EOBD
warning light (7, fig. 4.1).
This operation is only possible with the electronic code
shown on the code card.

E

17

Procedure to override the immobilizer
using the throttle twistgrip

1) Turn the key to ON, turn the twistgrip to fully open
the throttle and hold it open.
The EOBD warning light (7, fig. 4.1) goes off after the
pre-set time of 8 seconds.

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

3) Now enter the electronic release code shown on the
CODE CARD given to the customer when the
motorcycle was handed over by the dealer. The EOBD

E

warning light will light up and start flashing.
Count the number of flashes of the EOBD (7,fig. 4.1)
light equal to the first number of the secret code.
Turn the throttle twistgrip to the fully open position:
The digit entered is acknowledged, and the EOBD
warning light comes on and stays on for the pre-set time
of 4 seconds. If no operation is performed with the
throttle twistgrip, the EOBD light will flash 20 times
and then illuminate steadily. In this case, repeat the
procedure from step (1).

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

5) Repeat the operations in steps 3 and 4 until the last
digit has been entered.

6) When you release the throttle, if the code was entered
correctly, the EOBD light will flash to indicate that the
engine is unlocked. The EOBD light returns to its
normal state (off) after 4 seconds. If the code was NOT
entered correctly, the EOBD light will remain lit and the

18

procedure can be repeated as many times as necessary
by turning the key to OFF, then re-starting from step (1).

Notes

If the throttle twistgrip is released before the pre-set
time, the EOBD light comes on again, and it will be
necessary to turn the key to OFF and repeat the
procedure from step (1).

Operation

When the ignition key is turned 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) if the code is recognised, the warning light (6, fig. 4.1)
on the instrument panel will flash briefly. This means
that the immobilizer system has recognised the code
and disabled the engine lock. When you press the
START (2, fig. 13) 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, it is 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 immobilizer 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).

Warning

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

If you sell your motorcycle, do not forget to give all

keys and the CODE CARD to the new owner.

serves to alter the distance of the lever from the handlebar.
To make the adjustment, keep the lever (1) full forward and
adjust the wheel (2), turning it to one of the four preset
positions, taking account of the fact that:
position n° 1 corresponds to the maximum distance
between the lever and grip, while position n° 4
corresponds to the minimum distance.
When the clutch lever (1) is operated, drive from the
engine to the gearbox and the rear wheel is disengaged.

E

Correct use of the clutch lever is very important in all
riding situations, especially when moving off.

Warning

Any adjustment of clutch and brake levers must
only be carried out when motorcycle is stationary.

Important

Using the clutch properly will prolong the life of the
engine and prevent any damage to components in the
transmission.

Notes

The engine can be started with the sidestand down
and the gearbox in neutral. If starting with a gear engaged,
pull in the clutch lever (in this case the sidestand must be up).

Warning

This switch is mainly intended for use in emergencies
when you need to stop the engine quickly. After the engine
is stopped, return the switch to position to allow the
motorcycle to be started again.

Important

Riding with the headlight on, turning off the engine
with the switch (1) and leaving the ignition in the ON
position can drain the battery, as the light remains on.

2) Button = engine start.

fig. 25

Important

Before lowering the sidestand, check that the
ground is sufficiently even and hard. Do not park on soft
or pebbled ground or on asphalt melted by the sun etc. or
the motorcycle may fall over.
When parking on a slope, always park with the rear wheel
on the downhill side.

To lower the sidestand, hold the motorcycle handlebars

E

with both hands and push down on the stand (1) with your
foot until it is fully extended. Tilt the motorcycle until the
sidestand is resting on the ground.

Warning

Do not sit on the motorcycle when it is supported on
the sidestand.

To raise the sidestand to rest position (horizontal position),
tilt the motorcycle to the right and, at the same time, lift
the stand (1) with your foot.

Notes

It is advisable to check periodically that the stand
mechanism (consisting of two springs, one inside the other)
and safety sensor (2) are working properly.

Notes

The engine can be started with the sidestand down
and the gearbox in neutral. If starting with a gear engaged,
pull in the clutch lever (in this case the sidestand must be up).

Riding the motorcycle

Up to 1000 Km

From 1000 to 2500 km

fig. 27

Running-in recommendations

Max. rpm (fig. 27)

Rpm limits to be observed during the running-in period and
in normal use:

E

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:
5500-6000 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. Avoid sudden
or prolonged braking. This will allow the friction material on
the brake pads to bed in against the brake discs.
To allow all the mechanical moving parts in the motorcycle
to adapt to one another, and to avoid shortening the life of
the main engine components, it is advisable to avoid sudden
acceleration and running the engine at high rpm for too long,
especially uphill.
It is also advisable to check the drive chain frequently and
ensure that it is lubricated as required.

From 1000 to 2500 km

You can take more power from the engine, but you should
never go above 7000 rpm.

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.

Keeping to the running-in recommendations will ensure
longer engine life and reduce the need for overhauls and
re-tuning.

Pre-ride checks

Warning

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 40).

Engine oil level

Check the oil level in the sump through the sight glass.
Top up if necessary (page 60).

Brake and clutch fluid

Check the fluid levels in the respective reservoirs.

Tyre condition

Check the pressure and condition of the tyres (page 58).

Controls

Operate the brake, clutch, gearchange and throttle
controls (lever, pedal and twistgrip) and check that they
function correctly.

Lights and indicators

Check that lights, indicators and horn are working properly.
Replace any burnt-out bulbs (page 51).

Key locks

Check that the fuel filler cap and the seat are locked.

Sidestand

Make sure side stand operates smoothly and is in the
correct position (page 32).

Warning

If there are any faults or malfunctions, do not start
the motorcycle and contact your DUCATI Dealer or
Authorized Service Centre.

35

Starting the engine

ON

fig. 28

Warning

Before starting the engine, familiarise yourself with

the controls that you will use when riding (page 10).

1) Turn the ignition switch to ON (fig. 28). Check that
both the green light N and the red light on the
instrument panel come on.

E

Important

The oil pressure light should go out a few seconds

after the engine has started (page 11).

Notes

The engine can be started with the sidestand down
and the gearbox in neutral. If starting with a gear engaged,
pull in the clutch lever (in this case the sidestand must be up).

36

2) Make sure that the stop switch (1, fig. 29) is in the

2

1 3

fig. 29

RUN position, then press the starter button (2, fig. 29).

This model has servo-assisted starting.
To use the servo-assisted starting feature, press the start
button (2) and release it immediately. When you press the
button (2) the starter motor operates automatically for a
maximum time determined by 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.

Important

Do not rev the engine when cold. Allow some time for

the oil to warm up and reach all points that need lubricating.

E

37

Moving off

1) Disengage the clutch by squeezing the control lever.

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

your foot to engage first gear.

3) Raise the engine revs by turning the throttle twistgrip

while gradually releasing the clutch lever. The
motorcycle will start moving.

4) Release the clutch lever completely and accelerate.

5) To 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

E

change down, proceed as follows: release the twistgrip,
disengage the clutch, briefly rev 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
strain on the motorcycle frame and 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.

38

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.

Warning

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

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.
Switch the engine off by turning the key to OFF (page 20).

Important

Do not leave the key in the ON position when the
engine is stopped as this could damage electrical
components.

Parking

Stop and park the motorcycle on the side stand (see
page 32).
To prevent theft, turn the handlebar fully left and turn the
ignition key 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 turning the
key to position P.

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.

Warning

The exhaust system may still be hot even after engine
is switched off; so take special care not to touch it with any

part of the body and do not park the motorcycle next to
inflammable material (wood, leaves etc.).

Warning

Using padlocks or other locks designed to prevent
movement of the motorcycle (such as brake disc locks, rear
sprocket locks, and so on) is very dangerous, and may impair
motorcycle operation and the safety of rider and passenger.

Main Maintenance Operations

fig. 33

Checking the brake and clutch fluid level

The levels should not fall below the MIN. marks on the
respective reservoirs (fig. 33 and fig. 34).
If the level is too low it can allow air to get into the circuit,

E

thus impairing the efficiency of the relative system.
To top up or change the brake and clutch fluid at the
intervals specified in the periodic maintenance table
(see Warranty Booklet), contact your Ducati Dealer or
Authorized Service Centre.

Important

It is recommended that all brake and clutch hoses
be renewed every four years.

Brake system

If there is excessive play at the brake lever or pedal even
though the brake pads are still in good condition, contact
a Ducati Dealer or Authorized Service Centre to have the
system inspected and any air expelled from the circuit.

Warning

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.

42

Clutch system

(MAX) 3 mm

MIN

fig. 34

If 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 a Ducati Dealer or
Authorized Service Centre to have the system inspected
and the air bled from the system.

Warning

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 (3 mm
above minimum level).

E

43

Checking the brake pads for wear (fig. 35)

MIN

1 mm

fig. 35

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.

E

Important

Have the brake pads replaced at a Ducati Dealer or

Authorized Service Centre.

fig. 36

fig. 37

The condition of the outer throttle cables should be checked
at regular intervals. The sheath should show no signs of
kinking or cracking. Operate the control to check that the
inner cable slides smoothly inside the outer cable: 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.

To prevent problems, periodically open the twistgrip
housing by unscrewing the two screws (1, fig. 36) and
lubricate the ends of each control cable and the races
with SHELL Advance Grease or Retinax LX2.

Warning

Close the twistgrip housing carefully, inserting the
cable in the race.

Lubricating 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. 55

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 beams.
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 turning the
screws (1, fig. 55) that attach it to the side mountings.

E

57

Tyres

Front tyre pressure:

2.2 bar
Rear tyre pressure:

2.2 bar

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.

E

Important

Check and adjust the pressures with the tyres cold.

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

58

Repairing or renewing tyres

With minor punctures, tyres with inner tubes deflate
relatively quickly. If you find that one of the tyres is
slightly deflated, check the tyre for slow punctures.

Warning

In case of a puncture, change both the tyre and inner
tube. Replace with tyres and inner tubes of the original brand
and type. Be sure to tighten the valve dust caps securely to
prevent leaks while riding. Never fit tubeless tyres, as this
could cause a sudden loss of pressure in the tyre, with
possibly serious consequences for the rider and passenger.
After renewing a tyre and inner tube, the wheel must be
balanced.

Important

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

Notes

If tyres and inner tubes need changing, contact a
Ducati Dealer or Authorized Service Centre to make sure
wheels are removed and refitted correctly.

Minimum tread depth

S

fig. 56

Measure the tread depth (S, fig. 56) 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.

Cleaning and renewing the spark plugs

0,6÷0,7 mm

fig. 58

(fig. 58)

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.
Pull the spark plug caps off the spark plugs and remove the
plugs from the cylinder heads using the wrench supplied in
the toolkit.
Check the colour of the ceramic insulation around the central
electrode: an even brown colour is a 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 to 0.7 mm.

Important

Take care when bending the side electrode to adjust
the gap. A 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 seat in the cylinder head, and take care not
to allow foreign objects to fall inside the combustion chamber.

Refit the spark plug in the cylinder head, screwing it fully
into the bore. Tighten to 20 Nm.
If you do not have a torque wrench, tighten the plug by hand,
then give it a further 1/2 turn with the spark plug wrench
supplied in the toolkit.

Important

Do not use spark plugs with inadequate thermal
rating or incorrect thread length.
The spark plug must be tightened correctly.

E

61

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.

Warning

There may be loss of braking efficiency immediately

after washing the motorcycle.

Never grease or lubricate the brake discs. This will cause
loss of braking efficiency.
Clean the discs with an oil-free solvent.

Important

Do not wash your motorcycle immediately after use,

as marks can form due to evaporation of the water on hot

E

surfaces.
Never clean the motorcycle using hot or high-pressure water
jets. The use of high-pressure washers may cause the seizure
and other problems with the forks and fork seals, wheel hubs,
electrical system, air intakes and exhaust silencers, and
consequently impair the safety of the motorcycle.

If parts of the engine are especially 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.

62

Warning

When cleading the seat, avoid rubbing it too hard
and the use of alcohol or other types of solvent; only use
water to clean the rear of the seat with the logo. The use
of cleaning agents other than water could cause
discoloration or removal of the paint.

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
spark plug bores, then crank the engine by hand a few times
to form a protective film of oil on the cylinder inner walls;
place the motorcycle on the paddock stand;
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.

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.

E

USA

79

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

E

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.

USA

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

80

(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 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
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.

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 41).
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

E

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

USA

adverse and any damage to motorcycle components
caused by the use of such accessories will not be
remedied under warranty.

The exhaust system becomes very hot during operation,
never touch the exhaust system. Wear clothing that fully
covers your legs. Do not wear loose clothing which could
catch on the control levers, footrests, wheels, or chain.
Any amount of alcohol will significantly interfere with your
ability to safely operate your motorcycle. Don’t drink and ride.

Vehicle identification number (VIN)

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

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.
