Warranty

In your own interest, and in order to guarantee product reliability, you are strongly advised to refer to a Ducati Dealer or Authorised Service Centre for servicing that requires any particular technical expertise. Our highly skilled staff have the tools required to perform any servicing job to the highest professional standards, using only Ducati original spare parts to ensure full interchangeability, smooth running and long life.

All Ducati motorcycles come with a Warranty Booklet. However, the warranty does not apply to motorcycles used in competitions. If any motorcycle part is tampered with, modified, or replaced with parts other than original Ducati spare parts during the warranty period, the warranty is automatically invalidated.

Symbols

Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A. advises you to read this manual carefully in order to become familiar with your motorcycle. If in doubt, please contact a Ducati Dealer or Authorised Service Centre. The information contained herein will prove useful on your trips - and Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A. wishes you smooth, enjoyable riding - and will help you keep the performance of your motorcycle unchanged 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.

Important

Risk of damage to the motorcycle and/or its

components.

Note

Additional information about the current operation.

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

Useful information for safe riding

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. Both rider and pillion passenger must ALWAYS wear a safety helmet. Do not wear loose clothes or accessories that could become entangled in the controls or limit your field of vision. Never start or run the engine indoors. Exhaust gases are toxic and may lead to loss of consciousness or even death within a short time. Both rider and pillion passenger should keep their feet on the footpegs when the motorcycle is in motion. ALWAYS hold the handlebars firmly with both hands so you will be ready for sudden changes of direction or in the road surface. The pillion passenger should ALWAYS hold on to the special handles onto tail guard with both hands. Ride within the law and observe national and local rules. ALWAYS respect speed limits where these are posted. However, ALWAYS adjust your speed to the visibility, road and traffic conditions you are riding in. ALWAYS signal your intention to turn or pull to the next lane in good time using the suitable turn signals. Be sure you are clearly visible and do not ride within the blind spot of vehicles ahead.

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 when you leave your motorcycle unattended. The engine, exhaust pipes and silencers remain hot for a long time.

Warning

The exhaust system may still 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.).

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.

Carrying the maximum load allowed

10 Kg

fig. 1

Your motorcycle is designed for travelling over long distances with a full load in complete safety. Even weight distribution is critical to preserving these safety features and avoiding trouble when performing sudden manoeuvres or riding on bumpy roads.

Warning

The maximum speed permitted with the side panniers,

top case and the tank bag fitted must not exceed 180 km/h.

Warning

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

Information on load capacity

The total weight of the motorcycle in running order including rider, passenger, luggage and additional accessories should not exceed: 430 kg.

Warning

The total weight permitted for the side panniers, top case and the tank bag must never exceed 35 kg, divided as follows: 10 kg max. per side pannier; 10 kg max for the top case; 5 kg max. for the tank bag.

Important

Arrange your luggage or heavy accessories in the lowest possible position and close to motorcycle centre. 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. If the side panniers are fitted (available upon request from the Ducati spare parts service), divide the baggage and accessories based on their weight and place them uniformly inside the side panniers. Lock both side panniers using the suitable key lock. Make sure the tyres are inflated to the proper pressure indicated at page 168 and that they are in good condition.

Residual range indication when the SERVICE is due

When 1000 Km (621 miles) are left until reaching the mileage programmed by Ducati for having the ”SERVICE” performed, the instrument panel activates (at the end of the initial check) the indication of which type of service should be performed and the residual range (count-down). The indication is activated each time the motorcycle is turned on (Key-On) for 5 seconds (flashing). The residual range is updated every 100 Km (-1000, -900,

-800, -700, etc…..).

Warning

This message can only be reset by the Ducati Dealer or

Authorised Service Centre that performs the maintenance.

Indication of range reached for SERVICE

If you reach the mileage programmed by Ducati, the information panel will activate (at the end of the initial check) the indication that you should go to a Ducati Dealer or Authorised Service Centre to have the scheduled maintenance “DESMO SERVICE” or “OIL SERVICE” performed. The indication is activated each time the motorcycle is turned on (Key-On) (not flashing); pressing the button (2, fig. 8) “▼” the other functions can be displayed; The indication will remain until it is reset and it can be displayed at any moment by scrolling the functions.

Warning

This message can only be reset by the Ducati Dealer or

“RANGE” indicator - remaining range

fig.31

EU, CND, FRA, JAP versions

UK, USA versions

This function indicates the distance that can be travelled with

the fuel currently in the tank. The calculation is made based on the fuel level and an average consumption in reference to the last 90 seconds of driving (not the average fuel consumption “CONS M.”). If you refuel adding more than 4 litres of fuel with the vehicle switched off (Key-Off), at the subsequent Key-On, the remaining range reading will be updated instantaneously and will be calculated based on the new fuel level and an average fuel consumption of 18.0 Km/l; otherwise (that is, if you add less than 4 litres) the reading will only be updated after the vehicle is in movement (not instantaneously). When the range arrives to “0” the indication will flash together with the symbol (motorcycle + fuel pump). The active calculation phase occurs when the engine is running and the vehicle is moving (moments when the vehicle is not moving when speed is equal to 0 and/or when the engine is off are not considered).

Warning

It is recommended to turn off the motorcycle (Key-Off) when refuelling; if adding fuel without turning off the motorcycle (Key-On/engine off), the reading will be updated as soon as the vehicle starts to move (speed greater than zero).

Warning

The residual range that is measured is an approximate value; Ducati recommends not trying to use all the residual range indicated.

This function indicates the “average” fuel consumption. The calculation is made considering the quantity of fuel used and the km travelled since the last Trip 1 reset. When Trip 1 is reset, the value is set to zero and the first available value is shown on the display 10 seconds after the reset. Dashes “- -.-” are shown on the display during the first 10 seconds when the value is not yet available. the datum is expressed in “l / 100” ( litres / 100 Km ); it is possible to set the unit of measurement ”Km / l” ( kilometres / litre ) through the ”Setting special” function. The active calculation phase occurs when the engine is running and the vehicle is stopped (moments when the vehicle is not moving and the engine is off are not considered).

The calculation is made considering the distance and time travelled since the last Trip 1 reset. When Trip 1 is reset, the value is set to zero and the first available value is shown on the display 10 seconds after the reset. Dashes “- -.-” are shown on the display during the first 10 seconds when the value is not yet available. The active calculation phase occurs when the engine is running and the vehicle is stopped (moments when the vehicle is not moving and the engine is off are not considered). The calculated value is displayed increased by 8% to align it with the vehicle indicated speed.

Air temperature indicator

This function shows the external temperature. Display limits: -39°C ÷ +124°C In the event of a sensor FAULT (-40°C,+125°C or disconnected), a string of dashes “- - -” (not flashing) is displayed and the “Engine/Vehicle Diagnosis - EOBD” light (8, fig. 4) comes on and an error is indicated inside “Errors” Menu.

Note

When the vehicle is stopped, the engine heat could

influence the displayed temperature.

When the detected temperature drops to 4°C (39°F), the

fig. 36

fig. 37

display warns that the formation of ice is possible. The indication turns off when the temperature rises to 6°C (43°F).

Warning

This warning does not exclude the possibility of icy road sections even at temperatures above 4°C (39°F); when external temperatures are ”low” it is always recommended to drive carefully, particularly on sections that are not exposed to the sun and/or on bridges.

Indicator ”TIME TRIP” - Trip time

This function shows the vehicle trip time. The calculation is made considering the time travelled since the last Trip 1 reset. When Trip 1 is reset, the value is set to zero. The active phase calculation occurs when the engine is running and the vehicle is stopped (when the vehicle is not moving and the engine is off the time is automatically stopped and restarts when the counting active phase starts again).

“Riding Style” function (riding style change)

This function changes the motorcycle riding style. Each riding style is associated with a different intervention level of the traction control (DTC - Ducati Traction Control) and different engine power and output. For the “S” version with electronic suspension, each riding style change is also associated with different motorcycle setup. To change the motorcycle riding style, press the reset button once (14, fig. 5) and the ”SET UP” menu will appear on the circular display (B, fig. 7). The desired riding style can be selected by pressing the same reset button multiple times (14, fig. 5). Press the same button for 3 seconds to confirm the riding style. If the twistgrip is closed (vehicle stopped) the riding style change will occur immediately; if the twistgrip grip is open (vehicle moving) the message “CLOSE THROTTLE TO ACTIVATE” will appear on the display, which means that the throttle must be closed; this message will appear for 5 seconds, during which the gas must be closed in order to activate the new riding style. If the twistgrip is not closed after 5 seconds, the procedure is aborted (no change is made).

If the “SET UP” menu is activated and the rest button is not pressed (14, fig. 5) for 10 consecutive seconds, the instrument panel will automatically exit the display mode without making any change.

Warning

Ducati recommends changing the riding style when the vehicle is stopped. If the riding style is changed while riding, be very careful (it is recommended to change the riding style at a low speed).

Tips on how to select the sensitivity level

Warning

The 8 level settings of the DTC were calibrated using tyres of the same make, model and size as those originally fitted to the motorcycle. The use of tyres of different size to the original tyres may alter the operating characteristics of the system. In the case of minor differences, such as for example, tyres of a different make and/or model than the original, but with the same dimensions (rear = 190/55-17; 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 dimensions differ significantly from the original tyres, it may be that the system operation is affected to the point where 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 6 intermediate levels. The level of DTC intervention decreases in equal steps from level 8 to level 1. When levels 1, 2 or 3 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.

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 style (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 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 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 level 8 be 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 7, 6, etc., in succession until you identify the DTC intervention 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 style 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 level 8 and ride the motorcycle in your usual style; if the level of DTC intervention seems excessive, try reducing the setting to levels 7, 6, etc., until you find the level that suits you best. If changes 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 as described above to determine the best setting (e.g. if with level 7 the DTC intervention seems excessive, switch to level 6; alternatively, if on level 7 you cannot perceive any DTC intervention, switch to level 8).

LAP registration function

This function describes the ”LAP” time registration.

If the function is activated (see “LAP activation/deactivation description), the lap time can be registered as follows:

- the first time the flash is pressed (13, fig. 5) starts the

“lap timer” for the first lap and the instrument panel shows the ”START LAP” indication on the circular display (B, fig. 7) for 4 seconds and then returns to the ”previous” display;

- from this moment, each time that the flash is pressed

(13, fig. 5) the circular display (B, fig. 7) automatically shows the lap time for 10 seconds and then returns to the ”previous” display.

You can save a maximum of 30 laps in the memory. If the memory is full, each time you press the flash button (13, fig. 5), the instrument panel will not store any more lap times and will show the flashing message “LAP MEMORY FULL” on the circular display (B, fig. 7) for 3 seconds until the times are reset. When the LAP function is set disabled, the current ”lap” is not stored. If the LAP function is active and suddenly 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 time is never ”stopped”, it will roll over upon reaching 9 minutes, 59 seconds and 99 hundredths; the lap timer starts counting from 0 (zero) and will keep running until the function is disabled.

If however the LAP function is switched on and the memory has not been cleared, but fewer than 30 laps have been saved (e.g. 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 the times for the lap being registered; but other data are also saved (MAX speed, MAX rpm, rev limiter if reached) for viewing at a later date in the Lap Memory function (stored LAP display).

DTC (Ducati Traction Control) on/off function

Warning

DTC is a rider aid that can be used both on the track and the road. The system is designed to make riding easier and to enhance safety, but in no way relieves the rider of the obligation to drive responsibly and to maintain a high standard of riding in order to avoid accidents, whether caused by his own errors or those of other road users, through making emergency manoeuvres, in accordance with the prescriptions of the road traffic code.

The rider must always be aware that active safety systems have a preventive function. The active elements help the rider control the motorcycle, making it as easy and safe to ride as possible. The presence of an active safety system should not encourage the rider to ride at speeds beyond the reasonable limits, in accordance with the road conditions, the laws of physics, good riding standards and the requirements of the road traffic code.

This function activates and deactivates the DTC (Ducati Traction Control). To display the function, enter the “setting” menu page 48 and access the “DTC” page. In the next display, press the reset button (14. fig. 5) showing “ON / OFF”. The information will be displayed as follows:

- the arrows indicate the setting currently in use;

- use buttons (1, fig. 8) “▲” and (2, fig. 8) “▼” to select the new setting;

- to store the new setting press the reset button (14, fig.

5); the arrows will move to the new stored condition.

To exit, select “EXIT” and press the reset button (14, fig. 5). Storing the “OFF” condition disables the Traction Control; Storing the “ON” condition enables the Traction Control.

Note

Deactivating the DTC automatically activates the previously described “warning” “DTC OFF”. If a battery is cutoff, when the voltage is restored and at the next Key-On, the DTC will always be set automatically to “OFF”.

The immobilizer system

fig. 60

fig. 61

For additional antitheft 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 top fairing when the ignition is switched On. The modulated signal acts as a password (which is different at each start-up) and tells the ECU that an ”authorised” ignition key is being used to start up the engine. When the ECU recognises the signal, it enables engine start-up.

Keys (fig. 60)

The Owner receives a set of keys comprising:

- 1 active key (1, fig. 60)

- 1 passive key (2, fig. 60) It contains the code used by the “Hands free” system for the Key-On, in different modes.

The active key (1, fig. 61) is the one that is normally used and has a button (A, fig. 61) that when pressed makes the metal part exit (B, fig. 61). The metal part returns inside the grip by pushing it in.

The key contains a battery that must be replaced when the

fig. 62

message ”low level” is displayed under the key and battery symbols when the instrument panel is turned on (fig. 62).

Note

In this case, replace the battery as soon as possible

(page 88).

When the charge level goes below a certain limit, the key can only work in passive mode, like the passive key: in this case, the instrument panel will not display any message.

Warning

Do not ride with the key (1 or 2, fig. 60) inserted in the lock of the tank cap or in the seat lock as it could come out and represent a potential danger. Furthermore, if bumped, the key mechanism and the integrated circuit could be damaged. Also riding in poor weather conditions with the key inserted could cause damage to its integrated circuit. Do not leave the key on the motorcycle when washing it as it could be damaged, not being watertight.

Replacing the battery in the active key

fig. 63

fig. 64

Only use 3 Volt CR 2032 lithium ion batteries.

Note

The keys do not need to be reprogrammed after

replacing the battery.

Remove the metal part of the battery. Use a large sized coin to pry open the shells of the plastic grip (2€ coin) as shown in fig. 63.

Important

Insert the coil only in the indicated point. Do not other use other objects inserted in points that are different than what is shown, as it could damage the integrated circuit and/ or the protective gasket.

Once the plastic shells have been separated, remove the printed circuit board (1, fig. 64) prying it up GENTLY with a small flat screwdriver, as shown in the figure.

Important

Insert the point of the flat screwdriver just under the printed circuit board, being very careful not to damage it. Do not apply force on the battery or battery holder.

Remove the battery (2, fig. 65) from the printed circuit board

1 2

fig. 65

fig. 66

(1, fig. 65) and replace it with a new one. Pay attention to polarity: the positive pole (+) must face upward.

Important

Only use the required type of battery.

Reinsert the printed circuit board (1, fig. 66) from the side with the battery (2, fig. 66) into the plastic shell.

Apply slight pressure on the antenna (3, fig. 67) of the printed

fig. 67

fig. 68

circuit board until you hear a click.

Align the two shells of the grip and press on the area indicated by the arrows (fig. 68) to reclose them. Make sure that you hear a “click” upon closing and that the key is well closed.

Duplicate keys

If you need any duplicate keys, contact the Ducati Service network with all the keys you have left. 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 of any keys not submitted will be wiped off from the memory to make those keys unserviceable in case they have been lost.

Immobilizer override procedure

This procedure makes it possible to ”temporarily” turn on

the motorcycle if the HF (Hands Free) System is not working.

Note

The PIN CODE function must be activated by entering your 4 digit PIN in the instrument panel, otherwise the vehicle cannot be turned on temporarily in the case of a malfunction.

Warning

The motorcycle owner must activate (store) the PIN code; if there is already a stored PIN, contact an Authorised Ducati dealer to have the function ”reset”. To perform this procedure, the Authorised Ducati Dealer may ask you to demonstrate that you are the owner of the motorcycle.

PIN CODE activation function
