We'd like to welcome you among Ducati enthusiasts and congratulate you on your excellent choice of
motorcycle. We imagine you'll be riding your Ducati motorcycle for long trips as well as short daily excursions.
Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A. wishes you smooth and enjoyable riding.

Your motorcycle is the result of constant research and development by Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A., so it's
important that the standard of quality is upheld through careful observance of the scheduled maintenance
chart and the use of original spare parts. In the Owner's Manual you'll find instructions for performing small
maintenance procedures. The most important servicing and maintenance procedures are contained in the
Service Manual available at Authorized Service Centers of Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A..

In your own interest, for your safety and in order to guarantee product reliability, we strongly recommend
that you go to an Authorized Dealer or Service Center for any servicing included on the scheduled
maintenance chart (see page 204).

Our highly skilled staff has access to the special tools and equipment needed to perform any servicing
procedure with expertise. They use only Ducati original spare parts as the best guarantee for full
interchangeability, smooth running and long life.

All Ducati motorcycles come with a Warranty Booklet. The Warranty does not extend to motorcycles used
in competitions or competitive trials. Any tampering or even partial modification of the components will result
in automatic invalidation of Warranty rights. Incorrect or insufficient servicing procedures, use of non-original
spare parts or parts not explicitly approved by Ducati may lead to the invalidation of the Warranty, besides
potential damage and reduced performance.

Have fun!

11

“Best Practices” for safety

Before, during and after use, remember to follow
some simple rules that are extremely important for
safety and for maintaining the motorcycle at top
efficiency.

Important

During the whole running-in period, the
indications recommended in section "Riding the
Motorcycle" shall 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.

Attention

Failure to perform checks may cause damage to
the vehicle and serious injury to the rider and/or
passenger.

ventilated place. Never start the engine in a closed
environment.
Exhaust gases are poisonous and may lead to loss of
consciousness or even death within a short time.
During the ride, assume a correct body position and
make sure the passenger does the same.

Attention

Do not ride the motorcycle unless you are well
familiarized with the controls to be used during the
ride.

Before starting the motorcycle, always performs the
checks detailed in this manual (see page 169).

12

Important

The rider should ALWAYS keep both hands on

the handlebar.

Important

Both rider and passenger should keep their feet

on the footpegs when the motorcycle is in motion.

Important

The passenger should always hold on to the
grab handles under the seat with both hands.

Important

Be very careful when maneuvering
intersections or when riding in areas near exits from
private grounds, parking lots or access roads to
highways.

Important

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

Important

ALWAYS signal your intention to turn or pull
over to the next lane with due warning using the turn
indicators.

Important

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.

Important

Visually inspect the tires at regular intervals for
cracks and cuts, especially on sidewalls, bulges or
large spots which are indicative of internal damage.
Replace them if badly damaged.
Remove any stones or other foreign bodies caught in
the tread.

Attention

The engine, exhaust pipes and mufflers stay hot
for a long time after the engine has been turned off.
Be especially careful not to touch the exhaust system
with any part of the body and never park the
motorcycle near flammable materials (wood, leaves,
etc.).

Attention

When you leave the motorcycle unattended,
always remove the ignition key and make sure it is
inaccessible to anyone unsuitable to ride the
motorcycle.

13

Refueling

Refuel the motorcycle in an open area and with the
engine switched off.
Do not smoke or ever use flames during refueling.
Be careful never to drop fuel on the engine or exhaust
pipe.
When refueling, do not fill the tank completely: fuel
should never be touching the rim of filler recess.
When refueling, avoid inhaling fuel vapors and take
care that they do not come in contact with eyes, skin
or clothing.

Attention

The vehicle is compatible only with fuel having
a maximum content of ethanol of 10% (E10).
Using fuel with ethanol content over 10% is
prohibited. Using it could result in severe damage of
the engine and motorcycle components. Using fuel
with ethanol content over 10% will render the
Warranty null and void.

14

Attention

In case of malaise caused by prolonged
inhalation of fuel vapors, stay outdoors and consult a
physician. In case of contact with eyes, rinse eyes
thoroughly with water. In case of contact with skin,
wash the area immediately with soap and water.

Attention

Fuel is highly flammable. If it accidentally spills
onto clothes, change them.

Carrying the maximum load allowed

Your motorcycle is designed for long-distance riding
with the maximum load allowed carried in full safety.
Even weight distribution is critical to preserving these
safety features and avoiding difficulties when
performing sudden maneuvers or riding on bumpy
roads.

Attention

The maximum speed permitted with the side
panniers, top case and the tank bag fitted must not
exceed 111.85 mph (180 km/h).

Attention

Do not exceed the total permitted weight for the
motorcycle and pay attention to the information
below regarding load capacity.

Information about carrying capacity

Important

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

Important

Never fix bulky or heavy objects to the steering
head or front mudguard, as this would affect stability
and be dangerous.

Important

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

Important

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

Attention

Make sure the tires are inflated to the proper
pressure and that they are in good condition.

Please, refer to paragraph "Tires" in page 197.

15

Dangerous products - warnings

Used engine oil

Attention

Prolonged or repeated contact with used engine
oil may cause skin cancer. If exposed to used engine
oil on a daily basis, make it a rule to wash your hands
thoroughly with soap immediately after use. Keep
away from children.

Brake lining debris

Never attempt to clean the brake assembly using
compressed air or a dry brush.

Brake fluid

Attention

The brake fluid used in the brake system is
corrosive. In the event of accidental contact with eyes
or skin, wash the affected area with generous
quantities of running water.

Coolant

Engine coolant contains ethylene glycol, which may
ignite under particular conditions, producing invisible
flames. Although the flames from burning ethylene
glycol are not visible, they are still capable of causing
severe burns.

Attention

Take care not to spill engine coolant on the
exhaust system or engine parts.

Attention

Avoid spilling brake fluid onto plastic, rubber or
painted parts of the motorcycle to avoid the risk of
damage. Protect these parts with a clean shop rag
before servicing the motorcycle. Keep away from
children.

16

These parts may be hot and ignite the coolant, which
will subsequently burn with invisible flames. Coolant
(ethylene glycol) is an irritant and is poisonous when
ingested. Keep away from children. Never remove
the radiator cap when the engine is hot. The coolant
will be scalding hot and is under high pressure.

The cooling fan operates automatically: keep hands
well clear and make sure your clothing does not get
caught in the fan.

Battery

Attention

The battery gives off explosive gases; keep it
away from any source of ignition such as sparks,
flames and cigarettes. Charge the battery in a well­ventilated area.

Noise and exhaust emission control system information

Source of Emissions

The combustion process produces carbon monoxide
and hydrocarbons. Control of hydrocarbons is very
important because under certain conditions, they
react to form photochemical smog when subjected
to sunlight.
Carbon monoxide does not react in the same way,
but is toxic. Ducati utilizes lean carburetor settings
and other systems to reduce carbon monoxide and
hydrocarbons.

Exhaust Emission Control System

Exhaust Emission Control System is controlled by an
Electronic Control Unit (ECU), and no adjustments
should be made except idle speed adjustments with
the throttle stop screw. The Exhaust Emission
Control System is separate from the crankcase
emission control system.

Crankcase Emission Control System

The engine is equipped with a closed crankcase
system to prevent discharging crankcase emissions
into the atmosphere. Blow-by gas is returned to the

24

combustion chamber through the air cleaner and the
throttle body.

Evaporative Emission Control System

The 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 engine and fuel
tank.

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 (drivability) and poor economy.

kilometers (18,641 miles) or 5 (five) years from the
date of initial retail delivery, whichever first occurs.

I. Coverage
Warranty defects shall be remedied during
customary business hours at any authorized Ducati
motorcycle dealer located within the United States of
America in compliance with the Clean Air Act and

applicable regulations of the United States
Environmental Protection Agency and the California

Air Resources Board. Any part or parts replaced under

for any other expenses, loss or damage, whether
direct, incidental, consequential or exemplary arising
in connection with the sale or use of or inability to use
the Ducati motorcycle for any purpose. Some states
do not allow the exclusion or limitation of any
incidental or consequential damages, so the above
limitations may not apply to you. B. No express
emission control system warranty is given by Ducati
except as specifically set forth herein. Any emission
control system warranty implied by law, including any

warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular
purpose, is limited to the express emission control
systems warranty terms stated in this warranty. The
