General Indications
Warranty
In your own interest, and in order to guarantee product
reliability, you are strongly advised to refer to our authorised
Dealers and Service Centers for any servicing requiring
particular technical expertise.
Our highly skilled staff have access to the implements
required to perform any servicing job at best, and use Ducati
original spare parts only as the best guarantee for full
interchangeability, smooth running and long life.
All Ducati motorcycles come with a “Warranty Card”.
However, warranty does not apply to the motorcycles used
in competitions or competitive trials. No motorcycle part may
be tampered with, altered, or replaced with parts other than
original Ducati spare parts during the warranty period, or the
warranty right will be automatically invalidated.

Useful information for safe riding
E
Warning
Read this section before riding your motorcycle.
Accidents are frequently due to inexperience. Always make
sure you have your licence with you when riding; you need a
valid licence to be entitled to ride your motorcycle.
Do not lend your motorcycle to inexperienced riders or who
do not hold a valid licence.
Both rider and pillion passenger must ALWAYS wear a safety
helmet.
Wear proper clothing, with no loose items or accessories
that may become tangled in the controls or limit your zone of
vision.
Never start or run the engine indoors. Exhaust gases are
poisonous 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
strap onto passenger seat 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.
8
Be sure you are clearly visible and do not ride within the blind
spot of vehicles ahead.
Be very careful when tackling road junctions, or when riding
in the areas near exits from private grounds, car parks or on
slip roads to access 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, you may 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 stay hot for a long
time.
Warning
The exhaust system might be hot, even after engine is
switched off; pay particular attention not to touch exhaust
system with any body part and do not park the vehicle next
to inflammable material (wood, leaves etc.).
Park your motorcycle where no one is likely to hit it and use
the side stand.
Never park on uneven or soft ground or your motorcycle may
fall over.
Carrying the maximum load allowed
Your motorcycle is designed for long-distance riding, carrying
the maximum load allowed in full safety.
Even weight distribution is critical to preserving these safety
features and avoiding trouble when performing sudden
manoeuvres or riding on bumpy roads.
Information about carrying capacity
The total weight of the motorcycle in running order including
rider, passenger, luggage and additional accessories should
not exceed:
390 kg.
Arrange your luggage or heavy accessories in the lowest
possible position and close to motorcycle centre.
Be sure to secure the luggage to the supports provided on
the motorcycle as firmly as possible. Improperly secured
luggage may affect stability.
Never fix bulky or heavy objects to the handlebar or to the
front mudguard as this would affect stability and cause
danger.
Do not insert any objects you may need to carry into the gaps
of the frame as these may foul moving parts.
Make sure the tyres are inflated to the proper pressure
indicated at page 104 and that they are in good condition.

stored even though the lap timer had been active before KeyOff.
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 the LAP function is enabled without resetting the
“memory“ and there are less than 30 laps stored in the
memory (for instance: 18 laps stored), the dashboard will
store new laps until the memory is full (in this instance, 12
more laps).
This function only displays lap times; 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.
