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 grab rail on the rear seat with both hands.
Obey the legal requirements and observe national and local
regulations.
Always respect the speed limits where these are
indicated, and never exceed the speed allowed by the
particular visibility, road and traffic conditions.
Always signal your intention to turn or change lane in
good time, using the appropriate turn signal indicators.

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 still be hot even if the
engine is switched off; take special care not to touch exhaust
system with any part of your body 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.

E

7

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.

E

Important

Avoid riding at speeds in excess of 120 km/h with
panniers fitted.
Reduce your speed even further if your tyres are worn,
on poor road surfaces, or in poor visibility.

8

Information on load capacity

The total weight of the motorcycle in running order with
rider, luggage and additional accessories should not exceed
410 kg.
The total weight of luggage must never exceed 23 kg,
divided as follows (fig. 1):
9 kg max. per side pannier;
5 kg max. in the tank bag.

5

Kg

Kg

Kg

fig. 1

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.
When fitting panniers (available from the Ducati parts
service):
arrange personal effects and accessories according to
weight and distribute them evenly in both panniers;
lock the panniers with the key provided.
Make sure the tyres are inflated to the proper pressure
indicated at page 78 and that they are in good condition.

parking lights or low/high beam headlight is on.
In this case the instrument panel, using sensors that
measure ambient temperature and light intensity,
automatically turns the backlight on or off.

Brightness of warning lights

E

This function is on only if the parking lights or the low/high
beam headlight is turned on.
The brightness of the warning lights is adjusted
automatically by the instrument panel according to the
level of external light detected.

Lights auto-switch off function

This function helps reduce battery use by automatically
switching off the headlight.
The device is triggered in two 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
at next key OFF/ key ON.

- in the second case, after riding the motorcycle with the

lights on, if the engine is killed using the ENGINE STOP
switch (2, fig. 20). In this case, the headlight will be
turned off 60 seconds after stopping the engine and
will be only turned on again the next time the engine is
started.

22

Notes

When starting the engine, the system turns off the
headlights and only turns them back on again when the
engine has started or when the starter button (3, fig. 20)
is released.

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 handgrip 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 acts as a “password” and tells the
CPU that an “authorised” ignition key is being used to
start up the engine. When the CPU recognises the signal,
it enables engine start-up.

Keys (fig. 14)

The owner receives a set of keys, comprising:

- 1 red key (A)
The red key is a service tool and is part of the motorcycle’s
immobilizer system. It contains the code of the immobilizer
system and should not be used for normal everyday use of
your motorcycle. Your dealer may ask you to produce the
red key in order to carry out certain service operations.
For security reasons, the red key cannot be replaced. In
cases where the red key is required for servicing
purposes and the owner is unable to produce it, it will be
necessary to renew the motorcycle’s electronic control
unit, instrument panel and ignition switch assembly, and
the cost of these operations will be met by the owner. It
is therefore important to keep the red key in a safe place.

- 2 black keys (B)

Warning

The red key (A) has a rubber sleeve to keep it in
perfect condition, and prevent contact with other keys.
Never remove this sleeve unless absolutely necessary.

The B keys are the keys for normal use, and are used to:

- start the engine

- open the lock on the fuel tank filler cap

- open the document compartment cover.

- open the passenger seat lock.
The A key performs all the same functions as the B keys
and it can also be used to reset and re-program other
black keys if necessary.

B

Warning

Sharp knocks can damage the electronic components

inside the key.

Notes

The three keys have a small tag (1) attached,

which shows their identification number.

E

Warning

Keep the keys separate, and store the tag (1) and
key A in a safe place.
It is also advisable to use only one of the black keys to
start the motorcycle.

Code card

A CODE CARD (fig. 15) is delivered with the keys,
showing the electronic code (A, fig. 16) that must be used if
the engine is locked by the immobilizer and consequently
does not start when the key is turned to ON.

Warning

Keep the CODE CARD in a safe place. It is advisable to
always carry the electronic code shown on the CODE CARD
with you when using the motorcycle, in case it is necessary
to override the engine immobilizer by means of the
procedure using the throttle twistgrip (see page 25). In the
event of faults in the immobilizer system, the following
procedure makes it possible to disable the “engine lock”
function, which is indicated by the yellow-amber EOBD
warning light (5, fig. 6). This operation is only possible
with the electronic code shown on the code card.

24

fig. 15

A

fig. 16

Procedure to override the immobilizer
using the throttle twistgrip

1) Turn the key to ON, then turn the twistgrip to fully
open the throttle and hold it open.
The EOBD warning light (5, fig. 6) will go off after
8 seconds.

2) Release the throttle as soon as the EOBD warning
light turns off.

3) The EOBD warning light will light up again and start
flashing. Now enter the electronic release code shown
on the CODE CARD given to the customer when the
motorcycle was handed over by the dealer.

4) Count a number of flashes of the EOBD light equivalent
to the first number of the secret code.
Open the throttle twistgrip, keep fully open for
2 seconds, then release. The digit entered is
acknowledged, and the EOBD light comes on and
stays on for the pre-set time of 4 seconds. Repeat the
operation until you have entered the final digit.
If no operation is performed with the throttle twistgrip,
the EOBD light will flash 20 times and then illuminate
steadily. In this case, repeat the procedure from step (1).

5) When you release the throttle grip, if the code has been
entered correctly the following two cases may occur:
A)the EOBD light starts flashing to indicate that engine
starting is now enabled. The light switches off after
4 seconds, or if engine speed exceeds the threshold
value of 1000 rpm.
B)the IMMO warning light (3, fig. 5) flashes until the
engine speed rises above 1000 rpm, or until the engine
is re-started.

6) If the code is NOT entered correctly, both the EOBD and
IMMO lights stay on and the procedure can be repeated
starting again from step 2 as many times as necessary.

Notes

If you release the twistgrip too soon, the warning
light will come on again. Return the ignition key to OFF
and repeat the procedure from step 1.

E

25

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 (Key-ON) to start
the engine:

1) if the CPU recognises the code, the IMMO light (3, fig. 5)
on the instrument panel will flash briefly. This means that
the immobilizer system has recognised the key code
and enabled engine ignition. When you press the

E

engine start button (2, fig. 20), the engine will start up;

2) if the IMMO light stays on, it means that the code has
not been recognised. In this case, it is advisable to
turn the ignition key back to OFF and then to ON again.
If the engine still does not start, try using another
black key. If the engine still fails to start, contact the
DUCATI Service network.

3) If the IMMO light keeps flashing, this means that an
error signal from the immobilizer system has been
cleared (e.g. with the override procedure using the
throttle twistgrip).

Important

Always use the same key during the procedure.
Using different keys could prevent the system from
recognising the code in the key.

26

Duplicate keys

If you need duplicate keys, contact the DUCATI Service
network with all the keys you have left and your
CODE CARD.
DUCATI Service will program new keys and re-program
your original keys, up to a maximum of 8 keys.
DUCATI Service may ask for proof that you are the
legitimate owner of the motorcycle.
The codes for any keys not submitted during the
programming procedure are wiped from memory 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, do not forget to pass on

all the keys and the CODE CARD to the new owner.

Ignition switch and steering lock (fig. 17)

The ignition switch is located in front of the top yoke.
The switch has four positions.

A) ON: enables lights and engine operation;
B) OFF: disables lights and engine operation;
C) LOCK: steering locked;

Clutch lever (fig. 19)

The clutch lever (1) is fitted with a span adjuster (2) which
serves to alter the distance of the lever from the handlebar.
To make the adjustment, keep the lever (1) fully forward
and turn the wheel (2) to one of the four preset positions.
Note that:
position n° 1 corresponds to the maximum
distance between the lever and grip, while position
n° 4 corresponds to the minimum distance.
When the clutch lever (1) is operated, drive from the
engine to the gearbox and the rear wheel is disengaged.
Correct use of the clutch lever is very important in all
riding situations, especially when moving off.

Warning

Any adjustment of clutch lever must be carried

out when motorcycle is stationary.

Important

Using the clutch properly will prolong the life of the
engine and prevent any damage to components in the
transmission.

Notes

The engine can be started with the sidestand down
and the gearbox in neutral. When starting the engine with
a gear engaged, pull in the clutch lever (in this case the
sidestand must be in the raised position).
