Foreword

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 Service
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 197.

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

7

maintenance. In case of any doubts, please call a
Dealer or Authorised Service Centre.

Safety alerts

To alert you to potential hazards that could potentially
harm you or other persons, the following safety alerts
have been used:

- Safety labels on motorcycle;

- Safety messages preceded by a warning symbol
and the word WARNING or IMPORTANT.

Warning

Failure to comply with these instructions may
put you at risk and result in severe injury to rider or
other persons or even death.

Important

Possibility of damaging the motorcycle and/or
its components.

Note

Additional information concerning the job being
carried out.

The terms RIGHT and LEFT refer to the motorcycle
viewed from the riding position.

8

Permitted use

This motorcycle may be used for riding on dirt trails
or for off-road riding.

Warning

This motorcycle may not be used to tow any
trailers or with a side-car attached; this can lead to
loss of control and result in an accident.

This motorcycle carries the rider and can carry a
passenger.

Warning

The total weight of the motorcycle in running
order including rider, passenger, luggage and
additional accessories should not exceed 406 kg/895
lb.

Rider's obligations

All riders must hold a valid licence.

Warning

Riding without a licence is illegal and is
prosecuted by law. Always make sure you have your
licence with you when riding. Do not let
inexperienced riders or persons without a valid
licence use your motorcycle.

Do not ride under the influence of alcohol and/or
drugs.

Warning

Riding under the influence of alcohol and/or
drugs is illegal and is prosecuted by law.

Do not take prescription or other drugs before riding
unless you have consulted your doctor about their
side effects.

Warning

Some medications and drugs may cause
drowsiness or other effects that slow down reaction
time and the rider's ability to control the motorcycle,
possibly leading to an accident.

Some states require vehicle insurance.

9

Warning

Check your state laws. Obtain insurance
coverage and keep your insurance document secure
with the other motorcycle documents.

To protect rider and passenger safety, some states
mandate the use of a certified helmet.

Warning

Check your state laws. Riding without a helmet
may be punishable by law.

Warning

Riders without helmets are more likely to suffer
severe bodily injury or die if they are in an accident.

Warning

Check that your helmet complies with safety
specifications, permits good vision, is the right size
for your head, and carries a certification label
indicating that it conforms to the standards in force in
your state. Road traffic laws differ from state to state.
Learn about traffic laws in your state before riding and
always obey them.

Rider training

Accidents are frequently due to inexperience. Driving
a motorcycle is different from driving other vehicles
and requires specific riding and braking techniques.

Warning

Poor training or improper operation of the
vehicle can lead to loss of control, death or severe
damage.

Riding gear

Riding gear is very important for safety. Unlike cars,
a motorcycle offers no impact protection in an
accident.

Proper riding gear includes helmet, eye protection,
gloves, boots, long sleeve jacket and long pants.

- The helmet must have the requirements listed in

page 9; if your helmet does not have a visor, use
suitable eye wear;

- Use five-finger gloves made from leather or

abrasion-resistant material;

- Riding boots or shoes must have non-slip soles

and offer ankle protection;

10

- Jacket, pants or riding suit must be made from
leather or abrasion-resistant material and have
high-visibility colours and inserts;

Important

Never wear loose clothing, items or accessories

that may become tangled in motorcycle parts.

Important

For your safety, always wear suitable protective

gear, regardless of season and weather.

Important

Have your passenger wear proper protective

clothing.

11

Best practices for motorcycle safety

These few simple operations are critical to people
safety and to preserving the full performance of your
motorcycle. Never forget to perform them before,
while and after riding.

Important

Closely follow the indications provided at
chapter "Riding the motorcycle" during the running-in
period.
Failure to follow these instructions releases Ducati
Motor Holding S.p.A. from any liability whatsoever for
any engine damage or shorter engine life.

Warning

Before riding your motorcycle, become familiar
with the controls you will need to use when riding.

Perform the checks recommended in this manual
before each ride (see page 162).

Warning

Failure to carry out these checks before riding
may lead to motorcycle damage and injury to rider
and/or passenger.

Warning

Start the engine outdoors or in a well ventilated
area. The engine should never be started or run
indoors.
Exhaust gases are poisonous and may lead to loss of
consciousness or even death within a short time.
Use proper body position while riding and ensure your
passenger does the same.

Important

Rider must hold the handlebar with both hands
at ALL TIMES while riding.

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
grabhandles under the seat with both hands.

12

Important

Be very careful when tackling road junctions, or
when riding in areas near exits from private grounds,
car parks or on slip roads to access motorways.

Important

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

Important

ALWAYS signal your intention to turn or pull to
the next lane in good time using the suitable turn
indicators.

Important

Park your motorcycle where no one is likely to
knock against it, and use the side stand. Never park
on uneven or soft ground, or your motorcycle may fall
over.

Important

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

Warning

Engine, exhaust pipes and silencers stay hot
long after the engine is switched off; pay particular
attention not to touch the exhaust system with any
body part and do not park the vehicle next to
flammable material (wood, leaves etc.).

Warning

Always remove the key when you leave your
motorcycle unattended and make sure it is not
accessible to persons not authorised to use the
motorcycle.

13

Refuelling

Refuel outdoors with the engine turned off.
Do not smoke or use open flames when refuelling.
Be extremely careful not to spill fuel on the engine or
on the exhaust pipe.
Never fill the tank completely. Fuel should never be
touching the rim of filler recess.
While refuelling, avoid inhaling fuel vapours and avoid
contact with eyes, skin or clothing.

Warning

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

Warning

In the event of illness after prolonged breathing
of fuel vapours, stay outdoors and seek medical
advice. In the event of contact with eyes, flush with
plenty of water. After contact with skin, wash
immediately with water and soap.

Warning

Fuel is highly inflammable. Clothing with spilled

fuel on it should be removed as possible.

14

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 these
safety features and avoiding trouble when
performing sudden manoeuvres or riding on bumpy
roads.

Warning

Maximum speed allowed with side panniers
and top case installed is 180 km/h and must in any
case comply with statutory provisions.

Warning

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

Warning

Danger: the bike touches the ground earlier than
expected. Consider the reduced lean angle and
ground clearance of the Version with Lowered Riding
Height. Motorcycle lower riding height is achieved
through a reduction of the suspension travel. This
could result in a limitation of the usual riding comfort.
The rear shock absorber spring preload should be
adjusted, especially when riding with a passenger
and/or luggage.

Information about carrying capacity

Important

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

Important

Never fix bulky or heavy objects to the
handlebar or to the front mudguard as this would
affect stability and cause danger.

15

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 foul moving
parts.

Warning

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

Please, refer to paragraph "Tyres" in page 190.

Dangerous products - warnings

Used engine oil

Warning

Prolonged or repeated contact with used engine
oil may cause skin cancer. If working with engine oil
on a daily basis, we recommend washing your hands
thoroughly with soap immediately afterwards. Keep
away from children.

Brake lining debris

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

Brake fluid

Warning

Spilling brake fluid onto plastic, rubber or
painted parts of the motorcycle may cause damages.
Protect these parts with a clean shop cloth before
proceeding to service the system. Keep away from
children.

16

Warning

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 abundant 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.

Warning

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 snag
on the fan.

Battery

Warning

The battery gives off explosive gases; never
cause sparks or allow naked flames and cigarettes
near the battery. When charging the battery, ensure
that the working area is properly ventilated.

Riding Mode

Rider can choose, among the three different pre-set
configurations (Riding Modes), the one that better
suits his/her riding style or path characteristics. 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 customise
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 pre-set 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 hence more rare.

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)

Hypermotard ABS is an integral braking system with
rear wheel lift-up control, ensuring both a shorter
stopping distance and a higher braking stability. ABS
offers three different intervention levels, one for each
Riding Mode.

Ride by Wire (RbW)

23

The Ride by Wire system is the electronic device that
controls throttle opening and closing. Throttle
twistrigp and throttle body are not mechanically
connected: this allows engine control unit adjusting
power output by simply changing 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).

Riding Mode SET UP function (riding style
change)

This function allows changing vehicle riding mode.
Each riding mode is associated to a different
intervention level of the traction control system (DTC

- Ducati Traction Control), a different braking control
(ABS - Anti-lock Braking System) and a different
engine output and power (Engine). To change bike
riding mode, simply press button (4) once, and the
corresponding menu will be displayed. Whenever
vehicle riding mode is changed, the following
features will also be changed:

- traction control system “DTC” intervention level

(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and OFF);

- "Engine" power that will consequently change

also throttle behaviour (HIGH, MEDIUM and
LOW);

- "ABS" system calibration (1, 2 and OFF).

Whenever button (4) is pressed, instrument panel will
display all riding modes one after the other in a scroll
up-and-down view.

Once the desired riding mode is highlighted, keep
button (4) pressed for 3 seconds and instrument
panel will check throttle control position and front and
rear brake pressure:

- if throttle control is "closed" and brakes are

released or vehicle is stopped, the instrument
panel will confirm the selected riding mode (*)
and go back to the standard screen view ;

- if throttle control is "open" or brakes are pressed

and vehicle is moving, instrument panel will
enable the "CLOSE THROTTLE AND RELEASE
BRAKES" indicator on the display and, only when
all the required conditions are fulfilled (closed
throttle and released brakes or vehicle stopped)
the instrument panel will confirm the selected
riding mode (*) and go back to the standard
screen view.

Note

(*) If the change of Riding mode is associated
with the ABS change of state from ON to OFF or vice­versa, the instrument panel also starts the "procedure
for disabling or activating the ABS", respectively,
upon confirmation of the selected riding mode.

Fig. 31

If throttle control is not closed and brakes are not
released or vehicle is not stopped within 5 seconds
after the "CLOSE THROTTLE AND RELEASE
BRAKES" warning is displayed, the Riding Mode
change selection procedure will not be executed and
the instrument panel will go back to the standard
screen view without any setup change.

52

If the "SET UP" menu is enabled and button (4) is not
pressed for 10 consecutive seconds, the instrument
panel will automatically quit the displayed page
without any setup change.

Tips on how to select the sensitivity level

Warning

The 8 levels of the DTC system your motorcycle
is equipped with were calibrated with original
equipment tyres (make, model and size). The use of
tyres of different size to the original tyres 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,
tyres 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 tyres of a
different size class are used or if the tyre size differs
significantly from the original tyres, it may be that the
system operation is affected so much that none of
the 8 available level settings will give satisfactory

results. In this case is 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 a further 8 intermediate levels. The
level of DTC intervention decreases in equal steps
from level 8 to 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 on the track
and by very experienced riders.

The choice of the correct level depends on 3 main
variables:

1) The grip (type of tyre, amount of tyre 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).

Relation of the DTC intervention level to grip
conditions

68

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).

Relation of the DTC intervention level to the path
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 kick in more than on the faster
corners).

Relation of the DTC intervention level to the riding
mode
The DTC will tend to kick in more with a “smooth”
riding style, 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 is used for a couple of
full laps (to allow the tyres 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 tyres 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 mode slightly to a more
“rough” 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

69

level 7 you cannot perceive any DTC intervention,
switch to level 8).

70

ABS set up

This function allows customising ABS (Antilock
Braking System) intervention level and, if necessary,
disabling it. To display this function, access the
Setting Menu and select the R.MODE page.
Use buttons (1) and (2) to select the riding mode you
wish to edit, then press button (4). Use keys (1) and
(2) to select the ABS indicator, then press button (4)
to access the setup page. Now, always using buttons
(1) and (2), you can increase or decrease ABS level;
press button (4) to confirm the new level.
The different settings are 01, 02 and OFF.

Note

If OFF is set, the ABS will be disabled and the

corresponding ABS warning light will start flashing.

Once the new setup is selected, press button (4). The
instrument panel will automatically highlight the
"MEMORY" indicator; to store the new setup, keep
button (4) pressed for 3 seconds;
After this time, the instrument panel will display the
"MEMORIZED" indicator for 2 seconds as a
confirmation of the change made. The "EXIT" indicator

will be automatically highlighted; press button (4) to
quit this page and go back to the setting menu.

Note

If ABS OFF is selected and stored, Ducati
recommends paying the utmost attention while
riding and braking your bike.

Note

If on DEFAULT lettering right side a symbol is
displayed, this means that the default setup is active,
namely that the parameters shown are those set up
by Ducati.

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 MODE 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 favours
braking power and ensures, at the same time,
good stability levels during braking and lift-up con­trol*.

It is the default level
for the "SPORT" and
“TOURING” Riding
Modes.

2 URBAN For use under any riding condition. Under this

mode, ABS is active on both wheels. This calibra­tion favours 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 “URBAN”
Riding Mode.

73

Tips on how to select the sensitivity level

Warning

The levels of the ABS system your motorcycle
is equipped with were calibrated with original
equipment tyres.
The use of tyres of different size and characteristics
to the original tyres may alter the operating
characteristics of the system thus making it unsafe.
It is recommended not to install tyres of different size
than the ones 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 favoured compared to max. stability

control and lift-up prevention, which is nevertheless
still active.
The choice of the correct level mainly depends on the
following parameters:

1) Tyre/road grip conditions (type of tyre, amount of
tyre wear, the 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.

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.

Up to 30 lap times can be stored. 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
display is suddenly switched off (Key-Off), the LAP
function is switched off automatically: even if the
timer was ON, the lap in progress will not be saved.

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.
