Symbols

Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A. advises you to read this manual carefully in order to familiarise yourself with your motorcycle. If in doubt, please contact a Ducati Dealer or Authorized Service Centre. The information in this manual will help ensure that your riding experience is trouble-free and enjoyable, and it will help you obtain top performance from your motorcycle for a long time. This booklet uses a set of symbols with special meanings:

Warning

Failure to comply with these instructions may put you

at risk, and could lead to severe injury or even death.

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 toxic 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. ALWAYS hold the handlebars firmly with both hands so you will be ready for sudden changes in direction or in the road surface. The pillion passenger should ALWAYS hold on to the grabhandles under the seat with both hands. Obey the legal requirements and observe national and local regulations. Always respect speed limits where these are indicated and ALWAYS adapt your speed to suit the current visibility, road and traffic conditions. ALWAYS signal your intention to turn or change lane in good time, using the appropriate turn signals. 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, it is possible to 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 might be hot, even after engine is switched off; take special care not to touch exhaust system with any body part 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 or soft ground, or your motorcycle may fall over.

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 with rider, luggage and additional accessories should not exceed 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 94 and that they are in good condition.

Identification data

All Ducati motorcycles have two identification numbers, one for the frame (fig. 1) and one for the engine (fig. 2).

Frame number

Engine number

Notes

These numbers indicate the motorcycle model and

should be quoted when ordering spare parts.

Intelligent headlight switch-off

This function helps reduce battery use by automatically

switching off the headlight. The device is triggered in 3 cases:

- in the first case, if you turn the key from OFF to ON

and do not start the engine within 60 seconds, the

headlight is turned off and will be turned on again only

when the engine is next switched on;

- in the second case, after the normal use of the

motorcycle with the lights on, if the engine is stopped

using the RUN-STOP on the right-hand handlebar switch.

In this case, the headlamp is switched off 60 seconds

after the engine is switched off, and only switched on

again the next time the engine is started;

- in the third case, the headlight is switched off while

the engine is being started and switched back on again

when the engine is running.

Intelligent headlight switch-on

This function allows programmed activation of the headlight even with the motorcycle off (Key-Off). Immediately after key-off, the instrument panel remains active for 60 seconds, thus allowing the headlight to be switched on if switch (1, fig. 9) is pressed in position B “▼” or A “▲”. During these 60 seconds, each time the switch (1, fig. 9) is pressed in position A “▲“ or B “▼”, the instrument panel will activate the headlight for 30 seconds; each press of the switch will add to the headlight activation time, up to a maximum of 6 presses (equivalent to a maximum activation time of 180 seconds). After the first time you press the switch (1) in position A “▲“ or B “▼”, the period of 30 seconds starts, thus switching on the headlight. Further switch-on time can be added only if you press the switch again within these 30 seconds. If the 30 seconds have elapsed, no further multiples of 30 seconds can be added, and the instrument panel will switch off the headlight. To reset this function, you must perform at least one Key-On/ Key-Off. If the battery power is interrupted at any time while this function is active, when power is restored, the instrument panel will de-activate the function (the instrument panel does not remain active for 60 seconds).

The immobilizer system

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 grip 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 if it recognises this password.

Keys (fig. 28)

The owner receives a set of keys, comprising:

- 2 black keys (B). These contain the “code” of the immobilizer system.

Notes

Your Ducati dealer may ask you to produce your Code

Card in order to carry out certain servicing operations.

The black keys (B) 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.

Notes

The two keys have a small tag (1) attached, which

shows their identification number.

Warning

Keep the keys separately and use only one of the black

keys to start the motorcycle.

fig. 28

Code card

A CODE CARD (fig. 29) is supplied with the keys, showing

the electronic code (A, fig. 30) that must be used if the engine is locked by the immobilizer and consequently does not start at the next KEY-ON.

Warning

Keep the CODE CARD in a safe place. We advise the user to keep the code printed on the CODE CARD on his/her person at all times in order to be able to override the engine lock using the procedure described below, in the event of a malfunction of the immobilizer system, signalled by illumination of the amber “EOBD – Engine diagnosis” light (8, fig. 4). This operation is only possible if th e electronic code indicated on the code card is known.

fig. 29

Warning

Your dealer will ask you to produce the Code Card in order to re-program or replace a key.

fig. 30

Immobilizer override procedure

Should the immobilizer become locked, you can perform the “Immobilizer Override” procedure from the instrument panel by entering the respective function as follows. Select the “CODE” page from the menu.

Notes

This menu should be active only if there is at least one

immobilizer error.

With this page selected, the initial code is always displayed as “00000”. If you hold the button (1, fig. 9) in position B “▼” for 3 seconds, you will access the procedure for entering the electronic code given on the Code Card.

Entering the code:

- on entering this function, the first digit on the left starts

flashing.

Switch (1, fig. 9):

- each time you press the switch in position B “▼”, the

number increases cyclically in steps of one digit every second;

- if you press the switch in position A “▲”, you can set the

second digit, which will start flashing. Each time you press the switch in position B “▼”, the number increases cyclically in steps of one digit every second;

- if you press the switch in position A “▲”, you can set the

third digit, which will start flashing. Each time you press the switch in position B “▼”, the number increases cyclically in steps of one digit every second;

- if you press the switch in position A “▲”, you can set the

fourth digit, which will start flashing. Each time you press the switch in position B “▼”, the number increases cyclically in steps of one digit every second;

- if you press the switch in position A “▲”, you can set the

fifth digit, which will start flashing. Each time you press the switch in position B “▼”, the number increases cyclically in steps of one digit every second;

- press in position A “▲” to confirm the code.

If the code has been entered correctly, the message CODE and the code itself will flash simultaneously for 4 seconds. The “EOBD engine diagnosis” warning light (8, fig. 4) will go off. The instrument panel then automatically exits the menu, thus allowing “temporary” starting of the motorcycle. If the error persists, at the next key-on, the instrument panel will return to an error state and immobilize the engine. If instead the code has been entered incorrectly, the instrument panel will automatically return to the “CODE” menu and display the code “00000”.

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 protection system releases the engine lock. When you press the START (2, fig. 35) switch, the engine will start up.

2) if the “EOBD engine diagnosis” warning light (8, fig. 4) comes on and if, when you press the switch (10, fig. 5) in the “▼” position, the “Error IMMO” message appears on the display, indicating that the code has not been recognised. In this case, turn the ignition key back to OFF and then to ON again. If the engine still does not start, try again with the other black key. If the engine still does not start, contact the DUCATI Service network.

Warning

Sharp knocks can damage the electronic components inside the key. Always use the same key throughout the procedure. Using different keys could prevent the system from recognising the code in the 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. The Ducati Service Centre will program all the new keys as well as any keys you already have. You may be asked to provide 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, it is essential to transfer

all keys and the CODE CARD to the new owner.

Riding the motorcycle

Running-in precautions

Max. rpm (fig. 52)

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

1) up to 1000 km;

2) from 1000 to 2500 km.

0 ÷ 1.000 Km

1.000 ÷ 2.500 Km

fig. 52

Up to 1000 km

During the first 1000 km keep an eye on the rev counter. The indicator must not exceed 5500-6000 rpm. During the first hours of riding, it is advisable to run the engine at varying load and rpm, while keeping within the recommended limit. 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. Do not brake violently or keep brake applied for too long. This will enable a correct break-in of friction material on brake pads against 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

At this point, you can ask for more power from the engine, being careful, however, never to exceed 7,000 rpm.

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 64).

ENGINE OIL LEVEL Check the oil level in the sump through the sight glass. Top up if necessary (page 96).

BRAKE AND CLUTCH FLUID Check the fluid levels in the respective reservoirs.

TYRE CONDITION Check the pressure and condition of the tyres (page 94).

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

LIGHTS AND INDICATORS Make sure the lights, indicators and horn work properly. Replace any burnt-out bulbs (page 91).

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

SIDESTAND Make sure the sidestand operates smoothly and is in the correct position (page 54).

Warning

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

Starting the engine

Notes

Follow the “High ambient temperature” procedure to

start the engine when it is already warm.

Warning

Before starting the engine, familiarise yourself with

the controls that you will use when riding.

Normal ambient temperature

(between 10 °C/50 °F and 35 °C/95 °F):

1) Turn the ignition switch to position (1, fig. 53). Check that both the green light N and the red light on the instrument panel come on.

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).

2) Make sure that the stop switch (2, fig. 54) is in the

RUN position, then press the starter button (3, fig. 54).

Important

The oil pressure warning light should go out a few

seconds after the engine has started (page 11).

Warning

The sidestand should be in rest position (horizontal),

otherwise the safety sensor prevents the engine starting.

fig. 53

Allow the engine to start on its own, without turning the throttle.

Notes

If the battery is flat, the system automatically disables

operation of the starter motor.

Important

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

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

fig. 54

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 up a gear, close the throttle to reduce the engine revs, disengage the clutch, lift the gearchange lever and release the clutch lever.

To change down, proceed as follows: release the twistgrip, pull the clutch lever, shortly speed up to help gears 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.

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. Tyre inflation pressures below the specified value will reduce braking efficiency, and compromise steering precision and roadholding 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. To switch the engine off, simply turn the key to position (1, fig. 55).

Important

Do not leave the key in the ON position when the

engine is off to avoid damaging the electrical components.

fig. 55

Refuelling

Do not overfill the tank when refuelling. The fuel level should always be below the rim of the filler cap recess (fig. 56).

Warning

Use fuel with low lead content and an original octane number of at least 95. Check that no fuel is trapped in the filler cap recess.

Max level

fig. 56

Parking

Stop and park the motorcycle on the sidestand (see page 54). To prevent theft, turn the handlebar fully left and turn the ignition key to the position (3, fig. 57). 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 sidelights on by turning the key to position (4, fig. 57).

Important

Do not leave the key at (4, fig. 57) for long periods or the battery will run down. Never leave the motorcycle unattended with the ignition key inserted.

Warning

The exhaust system might be hot even after engine is switched off; take special care not to touch the exhaust system with any part of your 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

Changing the air filter

Important

For air filter servicing, contact your Ducati dealer or authorised Service Centre.

Checking the brake and clutch fluid level

(fig. 59)

The levels should not fall below the MIN marks on the respective reservoirs. If the level is too low, air can get into the circuit, thus impairing the efficiency of the system. Brake and clutch fluid must be topped up and changed at the intervals specified in the routine maintenance table (see Warranty Booklet) by a Ducati Dealer or authorized Service Centre.

Important

It is recommended that all brake and clutch hoses be renewed every 4 years.

fig. 59

Clutch system

If there is too much play at the clutch 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 clutch fluid level in the reservoir tends to rise as the friction material on the clutch plates wears out. Do not exceed the specified level (3 mm above the minimum level).

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 can damage paintwork and plastic parts, so avoid contact. Hydraulic fluid is corrosive and can cause damage and injuries. Never mix fluids of different qualities. Check that the seals are in good condition.

Checking the brake pads for wear (fig. 60)

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.

Important

Have the brake pads replaced by a Ducati Dealer or

authorized Service Centre.

fig. 60

Lubricating cables and linkages

The condition of the outer cables of the throttle and starter cables should be checked at regular intervals. There should be no signs of pinching or cracking on the outer plastic sheath. Operate the control to check that the inner cable slides smoothly: if you feel any rubbing or catching, have the cable replaced by a Ducati Dealer or authorized Service Centre. To prevent these problems, periodically lubricate the ends of each control cable with SHELL Advance Grease or Retinax LX2.

In the case of the throttle cable, open the twistgrip housing by unbolting the two bolts (1, fig. 61) and grease the end of the cable and the race.

Warning

Close the twistgrip housing carefully, inserting the

cable in the race.

Refit the housing and tighten the bolts (1) to 1.8 Nm.

To ensure smooth operation of the sidestand pivot, remove dirt and apply SHELL Alvania R3 grease to all friction points.

Tensioning the drive chain

Turn the rear wheel slowly to find the position at which the chain is at its most taut. With the motorcycle on its sidestand, press with a finger in the centre of the bottom run of the chain and measure the distance between the centres of chain link pins and the aluminium swingarm. The distance should be 61 to 63 mm (fig. 96).

Important

Have the chain tensioned at a Ducati Dealer or authorized Service Centre.

Warning

Correct tightening of the swingarm bolts (1, fig. 97) is essential to rider and passenger safety.

Important

An incorrectly tensioned chain will lead to accelerated wear of the transmission components.

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.

Important

Using non-specific lubricants may cause severe

damage to the chain and the front and rear sprocket.

Changing bulbs

Before replacing a burnt-out bulb, make sure that the new one matches the voltage and wattage specifications in the “Electrical System” paragraph on page 111.

Important

For bulb replacements, contact your Ducati dealer or authorised Service Centre.

Turn signals (fig. 98)

Loosen the bolt (1) and detach the lens (2) from the turn signal support. The bulb has a bayonet-type end fitting: to remove it, push it in and turn it counter-clockwise. Push in the new bulb and turn it clockwise until it clicks into place. Refit the lens by inserting the tab (A) in the corresponding slot in the turn signal support. Refit and tighten the bolt (1).

Headlight aim (fig. 99)

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 upper edge between the dark area and the lit area should not be above 9/10 from the ground.

Notes

This is the procedure specified by Italian regulations for checking the maximum height of the light beam. Owners in other countries should adapt this procedure to the regulations in force in the country where the motorcycle is used.

Tyres

Front tyre pressure:

2.2 bar. Rear tyre pressure:

2.4 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.

Important

Check and adjust the pressures with the tyres cold.

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

Repairing or renewing tyres

With minor punctures, tubeless tyres take a long time to deflate, as they tend to hold the air inside. If you find that one of the tyres is slightly deflated, check the tyre for slow punctures.

Warning

Punctured tyres must be renewed. Replace with tyres of the original brand and type. Be sure to tighten the valve dust caps securely to prevent leaks while riding. Never fit tyres with inner tubes, as these can cause the tyre to burst suddenly, with possibly serious consequences for the rider and passenger.

After changing the tyre, the wheel must be balanced.

Important

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

Notes

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

Minimum tread depth

Measure the tread depth (S, fig. 102) 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.

Checking the engine oil level (fig. 103)

Check the engine oil level through the sight glass (1) on the

clutch-side crankcase cover. Check the oil level with the motorcycle upright and the engine cold. Allow a few minutes for the oil level to stabilize after stopping the engine. The oil level should be between the two marks next to the sight glass. If the level is below the bottom mark, top up with SHELL Advance Ultra 4 engine oil. Remove the oil filler cap (2) and top up until the oil reaches the required level. Replace the filler cap.

Important

To change the engine oil and filters at the intervals specified in the maintenance table in the Warranty Booklet, contact a Ducati dealer or Authorized Service Centre.

Cleaning and renewing the spark plugs

(fig. 104)

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 running order. 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 0.7 to 0.8 mm.

Important

If adjustment is required, bend the side electrode carefully. 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 around the spark plug seating in the cylinder head, taking care not to drop any foreign material into the combustion chamber.

Insert the spark plug in the cylinder head and screw in fully by hand. Tighten to a torque of 20 Nm. If you do not have a torque wrench, after hand-tightening the spark plug, turn it a further half turn with the wrench provided in the tool kit.

Important

Do not use spark plugs with an unsuitable heat rating or incorrect reach. The spark plug must be tightened correctly.

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.

Important

Do not wash your motorcycle immediately after use, as marks can form due to evaporation of the water on hot surfaces. Never clean the motorcycle using hot or high-pressure water jets. Cleaning the motorcycle with a high-pressure water jet may lead to seizure or serious faults in the front fork, wheel hub assembly, electrical system, front fork seals, air inlets or exhaust silencers, with consequent loss of safety.

If parts of the engine are unusually 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.

Warning

There may be loss of braking efficiency immediately after washing the motorcycle. Never grease or lubricate the brake discs. This will impair braking efficiency. Clean the discs with an oil-free solvent.

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;

- empty the fuel tank by removing the drain plug and gasket;

- pour a few drops of engine oil into the cylinders through the spark plug bores, then turn the engine over by hand a few times to form a protective film of oil on the inner walls of the cylinder;

- 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 specific 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.
