Important
The pillion passenger should always hold on to
the grab handles on the frame 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
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 silencers remain
hot for a long time 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.).
Important

hit it, and use the side stand. Never park on uneven
or soft ground or your motorcycle may fall over.
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

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 tires are inflated to the correct
pressure and that they are in good condition.
Please, refer to paragraph "Tires" in page 190.
Dangerous products - warnings
Used engine oil
15
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
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
Attention
Take care not to spill engine coolant on the
exhaust system or engine parts.
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

Riding Mode
The rider can choose from three different preset bike
configurations (Riding Modes) and pick the one that
best suits his/her riding style or ground conditions.
Riding Modes allow an immediate change of engine
power and output (ENGINE), braking control levels
(ABS) and traction control (DTC) intervention levels.
The available configurations are:
Sport, Touring and Urban (for Hypermotard and
Hyperstrada);
Race, Sport and Wet (for Hypermotard SP).
Within every Riding Mode, the rider can customize
any settings.
Ducati Traction Control (DTC)
The Ducati Traction Control system (DTC) supervises
the rear wheel slipping control and settings vary
through eight different levels that are programmed to
offer a different tolerance level to rear wheel slipping.
Each Riding Mode features a preset intervention
level. Level eight indicates system intervention
whenever a slight slipping is detected, while level one
is for very expert riders because it is less sensitive to
slipping and intervention is thus rarer.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
The ABS system fitted to Hypermotard is a system
that actuates combined braking with anti lift-up
function for the rear wheel so as to guarantee not only
a reduced stopping distance, but also a higher
stability under braking. The ABS features several
levels, one associated to each Riding Mode.
33
Ride by Wire (RbW)
The Ride by Wire system is the electronic device that
controls throttle opening and closing. Since there is
no mechanical connection between the throttle
twistgrip and the throttle body, the ECU can adjust
power delivery by directly affecting throttle opening
angle.
The Ride by Wire system allows different engine
powers and outputs based on the selected Riding
Mode (Engine), but also serves as a control of rear
wheel slipping (DTC).

Tips on how to select the sensitivity level
Attention
The 8 level settings of the DTC were calibrated
using tires of the same make, model and size as
those originally fitted on the motorcycle. Using tires
of a different size from the original tires may alter the
operating characteristics of the system.
Motorbike original equipment: (front 120/70ZR17 rear 180/55ZR17).
- Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP;
- Pirelli Diablo Rosso II;
- Pirelli Scorpion Trail.
In the case of minor differences, such as for example,
tires of a different make and/or model than the OE
ones, but with the same size (rear = 180/55-17; front
= 120/70-17), it may be sufficient to simply select the
most suitable level setting from those available to
restore optimal system operation. If tires of a
different size class are used or if the tire dimensions
differ significantly from the original tires, it may be
that the system operation is affected to the point
where none of the 8 available level settings will give
78
satisfactory results. In this case it is advisable to
deactivate the traction control system. If level 8 is
selected, the DTC control unit will kick in at the
slightest hint that the rear wheel is starting to spin.
Between level 8 and level 1 there are an additional 8
intermediate levels. The level of DTC intervention
decreases in equal steps from level 8 to level 1. When
level 1 or 2 is selected the DTC control unit will allow
the rear wheel to spin and also slide sideways on
exiting a corner; we recommend that this setting is
only used by very experienced riders on the track.
The choice of the correct level depends on 3 main
variables:
1) The grip (type of tire, amount of tire wear, the
road/track surface, weather conditions, etc.);
2) The characteristics of the path/circuit (bends all
taken at similar speeds or at very different
speeds);
3) The riding mode (whether the rider has a
“smooth” or a “rough” style).
The relation of the DTC intervention level to grip
conditions:
The choice of level setting depends greatly on the
grip conditions of the track/circuit (see below, tips for
use on the track and on the road).
The relation of the DTC intervention level to the circuit
characteristics:
If all the corners on the track/circuit can be taken at a
similar speed, it will be easier to find an intervention
level that is satisfactory for every bend; on the other
hand, if the track has, for example, one corner that is
much slower than all the others, it will be necessary
to find a compromise level (on the slow corner the
DTC will tend to control more than on the faster
corners).
The relation of the DTC intervention level to riding
style:
The DTC will tend to kick in more with a “smooth”
riding mode, where the bike is leaned over further,
rather than with a “rough” style, where the bike is
straightened up as quickly as possible when exiting a
turn.
Tips for use on the track
We recommend that level 6 be used for a couple of
full laps (to allow the tires to warm up) in order to get
used to the system. Then try levels 5, 4, etc., in
succession until you identify the DTC sensitivity level
that suits you best (always try each level for at least
two laps to allow the tires to warm up).
Once you have found a satisfactory setting for all the
corners except one or two slow ones, where the
system tends to kick in and control too much, you can
try to modify your riding style slightly to a “rougher”
approach to cornering i.e. straighten up more rapidly
on exiting the corner, instead of immediately trying a
different level setting.
Tips for use on the road
Activate the DTC, select DTC 6 and ride the
motorcycle in your usual style; if the DTC intervention
level seems excessive, try DTC 5; if also this RM is
too strong, try DTC 4. If none of the available level
settings meets your riding style, you can select the
level by following the indications given in the table
above until you find the level that suits you best.
If changes occur in the grip conditions and/or circuit
characteristics and/or your riding style, and the level
setting is no longer suitable, switch to the next level
up or down and proceed to determine the best
setting (e.g. if with level 7 the DTC intervention
seems excessive, switch to level 6; alternatively, if on
79
level 7 you cannot perceive any DTC intervention,
switch to level 8).

The following table indicates the most suitable level of ABS intervention for the various riding types, as well
as the default settings in the "Riding Mode" that can be selected by the rider:
LEVEL STYLE USE DEFAULT?
OFF The ABS is disabled. NO
1 SPORT For road use in good grip conditions. Under this
mode, ABS is active on both wheels. Lift-up prevention controls are active; this calibration favors
braking power and ensures, at the same time,
good stability levels during braking and lift-up control*.
2 URBAN For use under any riding condition. Under this
mode, ABS is active on both wheels. This calibration favors vehicle max. stability and lift-up prevention and ensures, at the same time, a top level
max. deceleration performance.
It is the default level
for the "SPORT" and
“TOURING” Riding
Modes.
It is the default level
for the “URBAN”
Riding Mode.

Tip on how to select the sensitivity level
Attention
The ABS system levels of your vehicle were
calibrated using the same tires as those originally
supplied with your motorcycle.
If tires of a different size class are used or if the tire
characteristics differ significantly from the original
ones, system operation could be affected so much
and no longer be safe. We do not recommend using
tires having a different size class from those approved
for your vehicle.
Motorbike original equipment: (front 120/70ZR17 rear 180/55ZR17).
- Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP;
- Pirelli Diablo Rosso II;
- Pirelli Scorpion Trail.
If level 2 is selected, the ABS system will be activated
to ensure a very stable braking and a good bike
control as well as to prevent any lift-up, thus allowing
a good vehicle alignment during the whole braking
action. When shifting from level 2 to level 1, braking
power will be favored compared to max. stability
84
control and lift-up prevention, which is nevertheless
still active.
The choice of the correct level mainly depends on the
following parameters:
1) Tire/road grip conditions (type of tire, amount of
tire wear, road/track surface, weather conditions,
etc.).
2) Rider experience and skill.
Under poor grip conditions (see point 1) and/or for
less experienced riders, we recommend using level
2.

Lap time function (LAP): LAP registration
This function is used to describe how lap times (LAP)
are stored.
If function is enabled, lap time can be stored as
follows:
- after the first time you press button (3) the first
lap counter is started and the instrument panel
displays the "START LAP" indicator (flashing) for
4 seconds, before reverting to previous display;
- from now on, each time you press button (3), the
instrument panel will show the lap time for 10
seconds (steady), before reverting to the
previous display.
You can save a maximum of 30 laps in the memory.
If the memory is full, each time you press button (3),
the instrument panel will not be able to save any lap
time and, for 4 seconds, the display will show the
message “LAP MEM. FULL" (flashing) until the
memory is reset.
When the LAP function is set to Off, the current "lap"
is not stored. If the LAP function is active and the
motorcycle is suddenly turned off (Key-Off), the
function will be automatically disabled (even if the lap
timer was active, the current "lap" is not stored).
If the timer is not stopped, when it reaches 9
minutes, 59 seconds and 99 hundredths, it restarts
from 0 (zero) and continues until the function is
switched off.
If the LAP function is enabled without resetting the
memory and there are less than 30 laps stored in the
memory (for instance: 18 laps), the instrument panel
will store any remaining laps until the memory is full
(in this case, it will store an additional 12 laps).
This function only displays lap times being stored;
however, other data (MAX Speed, RPM MAX, rev
limiter - if tripped) are saved for a subsequent
complete display in the LAP displaying function.
