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. You will find the information in the manual
useful on trips (which Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A. hopes will
be smooth 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:

Warranty

In your own interest, and in order to ensure the reliability
of the motorcycle, you are strongly advised to contact
a Ducati Dealer or Authorized Service Centre for any
servicing that requires particular technical expertise.
Our highly qualified staff have access to the specialised
tools required to perform any servicing job to the highest
professional standards, using only Ducati original spare
parts as the best guarantee for perfect interchangeability,
smooth running and long service 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.

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.

Notes

Additional information about the current operation.

References to the right or left side of the motorcycle
assume you are sitting on the seat, facing forward.

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.
The rider must always wear appropriate clothing and a
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.
Obey the legal requirements and observe national and local
regulations.

Always respect speed limits where these apply, 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 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 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 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

E

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 330 kg.

8

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 101 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.

Notes

For the 1098 R Bayliss version.

Only a limited a number of this exclusive model will be
produced. Each motorcycle will have a silver plate on the
top yoke indicating the serial number and the model.

LAP time display function

This function displays the recorded lap time.
To activate this function, go into the menu and set the “LAP”
function to “On” by pressing switch (1, fig. 10) in position B

START and STOP the timer by pressing the high beam
FLASH button (12, fig. 5) on the left-hand handlebar switch.
When the LAP function is active, each time you press the
flasher switch, the display will show the lap time for
10 seconds, before reverting to normal mode.
You can save a maximum of 30 laps in the memory.
If the memory is full, each time you press the flasher
switch, no more lap times can be saved and the display
will show the flashing message “FULL” for 3 seconds
until the memory is reset.

When you switch the LAP function off from the menu,
the lap in progress will not be saved.

If the LAP function is active and the instrument panel is
suddenly switched off (Key-Off), the LAP function is
switched off automatically (even if the timer was ON,
the lap in progress is not saved).
If the timer is not stopped, when it reaches 99 minutes,
59 seconds and 99 hundredths, it restarts from 0 (zero)
and continues until the function is switched off.
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 save any remaining laps until the memory is full
(in this case, it will save a further 12 laps).
In this function, lap time only is displayed, 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.

From this menu page, if you hold pressed switch (1, fig. 10)
in position B “▼” for 3 seconds, the data for the first lap will
appear. The display will show the lap number, lap time, MAX
speed and the MAX rpm reached for the lap in question.
If you press switch (1, fig. 10) in position B “▼”, the display
scrolls through the 30 saved times, before returning to the

If you press switch (1, fig. 10) in position B “▼” for
3 seconds while the saved times are displayed, the display
immediately resets all the saved times. In this case, if the
LAP function was active, it is switched off automatically.
The MAX speed saved is the maximum speed indicated
on the display in Lap function.
During saving, if the MAX speed shown exceeds 299 km/h
(186 mph), the speed reached is displayed (e.g. 316 km/h).
If there is no reading in the memory, the 30 times are shown,
with the lap timer showing “00.00.00”, MAX rpm = 0 and
MAX speed = 0.
During the lap, if the engine reaches one of the two
thresholds before the rev limiter or the rev limiter itself,
the respective warning lights (10, fig. 4) come on during
