General safety rules
Carbon oxide
When a maintenance operation must be performed with the engine running, position the motorcycle
out of doors or in a well-ventilated area. Never operate the engine in an enclosed place.
Warning
Exhaust emissions contain carbon oxide, which is a poisonous gas and may lead to loss of conscience
or even death.
Operate the engine out of doors or, if working indoors, use an exhaust emission extraction plant.
Fuel
Always make sure the area is well ventilated. Do not smoke near the motorcycle or the area where fuel
is stored and keep any sources of ignition, such as flames or sparks, well away from motorcycle and
fuel storage area.
Warning
The fuel used to operate engines is highly flammable and becomes explosive under particular
conditions. Keep away from children.
Hot component parts
Warning
The engine and exhaust component parts become hot when the engine is running and will stay hot for
some time after the engine has been stopped. Wear heat gloves before handling these components or
allow for the engine and exhaust system to cool down before proceeding.
Warning
The exhaust system will stay hot for some time after the engine has been stopped. Do not touch these
components with your body and do not park the vehicle near flammable materials (including wood,
leaves...).
Used engine oil
Warning
Prolonged or repeated contact with engine oil may cause skin cancer. If exposed to engine oil on a
daily basis, make it a rule to wash your hands thoroughly with soap right after handling engine oil.
Keep away from children.
Brake lining debris
file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/F4i/My%...0manual/wsm/usa/Mon695_MY07_A_3_3_00.5.1.html (1 of 2) [10/7/2008 8:41:41 PM]
Page 7
Dangerous products – warnings
Never attempt to clean the brake assembly using compressed air or a dry brush.
Brake fluid
Warning
Avoid spilling brake fluid onto plastic, rubber or paint-finished parts or they will damage. Protect these
parts with a clean shop cloth before proceeding to service the motorcycle. Keep away from children.
Battery
Warning
The battery gives off explosive gases. Keep away from sources of ignition, such as sparks and flames.
Do not smoke near the battery. Make sure the area is well ventilated when charging a battery.
General maintenance indications
A word of advice
Ducati would like to suggest that you follow the instructions below so to ensure an efficient, fault-free
motorcycle operation.
-
When diagnosing breakdowns, primary consideration should always be given to what the customer
reports. Your questions to the customer should aim at clarifying the problem.
-
Diagnose the problem systematically and accurately before proceeding further. This manual provides
the theoretical background for troubleshooting that should be combined with personal experience and
attendance at Ducati training courses.
-
Repair work should be planned carefully in advance to prevent any unnecessary downtime, for
example picking-up of required spare parts or arrangement of required tools, etc.
-
Time and money can be saved by limiting the number of operations needed to reach the part to be
repaired. The disassembly procedure in this manual describes the most efficient way to reach a part
to be repaired.
General advice on repair work
-
Always use top quality tools. Lift the motorcycle only with devices in full compliance with relevant
European directives.
-
During repair work always keep the tools within reach, possibly in the right order. Never put them on
the vehicle or in hardly reachable places or somehow hidden.
- Work place must be neat and clean.
- During repair work always change gaskets, seals and split pins.
-
When loosening or tightening nuts and bolts, always start with the largest and always start from the
center. Tighten nuts and bolts working crossways; tighten to the specified torque.
- At disassembly, mark any parts and positions which might easily be confused at reassembly.
- Use Ducati original spare parts only. Use the recommended lubricants only.
- Use special service tools where specified.
-
Ducati Technical Bulletins often contain updated versions of the service procedures described in this
manual. Check the latest Bulletins for details.

Rpm limits to be observed during the running-in period and in normal operation:
1 Up to 1000 km;
2 From 1000 to 2500 km;
Max. rotation speed up to 1000 km
During the first 1000 km, keep an eye on the revolution meter. The indicator must not exceed 55006000 rpm. During the first hours of riding, it is advisable to run the engine at varying load and rpm,
though still within the recommended limit.
Twisty roads and gradients are ideal to break in engine, suspensions and brakes effectively. Apply the
brakes gently and avoid hard, prolonged braking until covering the first 100 km.This will allow the
brake pad lining to wear in properly rubbing on the brake discs. For all mechanical moving parts of the
motorcycle to adapt to one another and above all not to adversely affect the life of basic engine parts,
it is advisable to avoid harsh accelerations and not to run the engine at high rpm for too long,
especially uphill. Furthermore, the drive chain should be inspected frequently. Lubricate as required.
Max. rotation speed from 1000 to 2500 km
At this point, you can squeeze some more power out of your engine, being careful, however, to never
exceed 7000 rpm. Follow-ing these recommendations strictly will extend the life of your engine and
reduce the likelihood of overhauls or tune-ups.
Caution
During the whole running-in period, the maintenance and service rules recommended in the warranty
card should be observed carefully. Failure to comply with these rules will release Ducati Motor Holding
S.p.A. from any liability whatsoever for resulting engine damage or shorter engine life.

Checking the engine oil level
Check the engine oil level in the sight glass (1) on the RH side of the oil sump.
After switching off, allow several minutes for the oil to settle before checking the level. Check the level with the
motorcycle perfectly vertical and with the engine hot (but stopped).
The level should be between the MIN and MAX marks. Top up if low. Remove the filler plug (2) and top up with the
recommended oil.
Refit the filler plug.
Changing the engine oil and filter cartridge
Note
Change the oil when the engine is hot (but off). In these conditions the oil is more fluid and will drain more rapidly
and completely.
Remove the drain plug (3) on the oil sump and allow the oil to drain off.
Warning
Dispose of oil and/or filter cartridges in compliance with environmental protection regulations.
Remove any metallic deposits from the end of the magnetic drain plug. Refit the drain plug complete with seal (A) to
the sump.

The zero setting procedure establishes a connection between electronic control unit and throttle body. For this reason,
the zero setting procedure must be repeated each time the throttle body, throttle position sensor, electronic control
unit or wiring are replaced.
Adjusting idling condition
Connect exhaust gas analyser inserts part no. 88713.1010 to exhaust pipes pick-up points, using couplings (20).

Ensure that throttles are against the stop screw (throttle twistgrip fully closed). Ensure choke is off and that throttle
cable free play is correct. Reset the TPS as indicated in "
Zero setting the throttle position sensor (TPS)", in this
section.
Check:
- that throttle angle reading on DDS is 2.7° ± 0.1° with engine stopped;
-
that idle condition is acknowledged; if not, repeat the procedure indicated in "
Zero setting the throttle position
sensor (TPS)".
Open the by-pass screws (21) by one turn, from fully closed position.
Start the engine and allow oil to reach 75° C; switch off choke, if previously activated.
When oil temperature is above 75° C you can start the following adjustment procedure; always bear in mind that at
the end of the adjustment oil temperature should not exceed 100° C.
Idling should be between 1250±1350 rpm (1300±50)
If the value is included in the above range, check the CO level and ensure that values are min. 0.5 and max 0.9 for
both cylinders. If CO reading is lower or higher than indicated range, open or close by ¼ of a turn the by-pass screw
(21) of the cylinder having incorrect reading and allow 20 seconds before checking again with the gas analyser.
If idling speed is not within the above-indicated range, open or close by ¼ of a turn the by-pass screws (21) of both

cylinders and check again CO level once idling rpm is correct.
If adjustment results were negative, repeat the procedure, starting from throttle position sensor (TPS) reset.
Note
The vacuum gauge is not used since "cylinder synchronisation procedure" is not necessary.
Adjusting the choke
Work the choke control adjuster (22) to adjust choke lever (23) so that the lever (24) can travel smoothly all its
stroke.
Checking engine oil pressure
Note
A table at the end of this section explains the icons used in this procedure.
Take oil circuit pressure through engine oil pressure sensor outlet (21) as follows:
Remove the pressure switch (21) connector (A). Be sure to collect the seal.

Insert fitting (9) in the hose (12) fitting, and place two copper washers (20) in-between. Screw the connector (9) of
the hose (12) into the threaded hole (M10x1mm) in the RH cover. Screw the connector all the way in. Refit the
pressure switch (21) complete with seal to the connector (9) and reconnect it to the electric system connector (A).
Connect the pressure sensor (5), to the hose (12), in order to convert the pressure reading into an electric signal.

Oil pressure test values:
Warm engine
(Oil temperature at least = 80°C)
1100 - 1300 rpm
over 0.8 bar
3500 - 4000 rpm
over 4 bar
Caution
Maximum pressure must not exceed 6.0 bar.
A pressure which is too high indicates that the pressure-relief valve is jammed. A pressure which is too low indicates
that the pressure-relief valve is jammed in the open position, that the spring is too weak, or that the oil pump is
faulty. Other causes of incorrect pressure readings include: badly worn seals and gaskets; badly worn engine.
Remove the gauges and refit the pressure switch (21) with its seal. Tighten it to the specified torque (Sect. C 3,
Engine torque settings).
Connect the electrical connector (A) to the pressure switch.

Checking cylinder compression
Note
A table at the end of this section explains the icons used in this procedure.
The performance and efficiency of an engine are directly linked to the compression inside the combustion chambers of
the two cylinders. Compression which is too high/low or a large compression difference between the two cylinders will
cause a drop in engine performance and can cause engine breakdowns.
Start the engine and let it warm up until the fan switches on at least once.
Remove the outer structures.
Open the throttles fully.
Remove the spark plug-coil cables (20) from both spark plugs.
Remove the spark plug from the cylinder to be checked.
