“Best Practices” for safety

Before, during and after use, remember to follow some simple rules that are extremely important for safety and for maintaining the motorcycle at top efficiency.
Important
During the break-in period, carefully observe the instructions contained on page 202. Failure to follow these instructions releases Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A. from any liability whatsoever for any engine damage or shorter engine life.
Warning
Do not ride the motorcycle unless you are well familiarized with the controls to be used during the ride.
Before starting the motorcycle, always performs the checks detailed in this manual (see page 204).
Warning
Failure to perform checks may cause damage to the vehicle and serious injury to the rider and/or passenger.
Warning
Start the engine when outdoors or in a well ventilated place. Never start the engine in a closed environment. Exhaust gases are poisonous and may lead to loss of consciousness or even death within a short time. During the ride, assume a correct body position and make sure the passenger does the same.
Important
The rider should ALWAYS keep both hands on the handlebar.
Important
Both rider and passenger should keep their feet on the footpegs when the motorcycle is in motion.
Important
The passenger should always hold on to the strap on passenger seat with both hands.
Important
Be very careful when maneuvering intersections or when riding in areas near exits from private grounds, parking lots or access roads to highways.
Important
Be sure you are clearly visible and do not ride in the blind spot of the vehicles ahead.
Important
ALWAYS signal your intention to turn or pull over to the next lane with due warning using the turn indicators.
Important
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.
Important
Visually inspect the tires at regular intervals for cracks and cuts, especially on sidewalls, bulges or large spots which are indicative of internal damage. Replace them if badly damaged. Remove any stones or other foreign bodies caught in the tread.
13
Warning
The engine, exhaust pipes and mufflers stay hot for a long time after the engine has been turned off. Be especially careful not to touch the exhaust system with any part of the body and never park the motorcycle near flammable materials (wood, leaves, etc.).
Warning
When you leave the motorcycle unattended, always remove the ignition key and make sure it is inaccessible to anyone unsuitable to ride the motorcycle.
14

Refueling

Refuel the motorcycle in an open area and with the engine switched off.
Do not smoke or ever use flames during refueling.
Be careful never to drop fuel on the engine or exhaust pipe.
When refueling, do not fill the tank completely: fuel should never be touching the rim of filler recess.
When refueling, avoid inhaling fuel vapors and take care that they do not come in contact with eyes, skin or clothing.
Warning
The vehicle is compatible only with fuel having a maximum ethanol content of 10% (E10). Using fuels with ethanol content over 10% is prohibited. Using them could result in severe damage of the engine and motorcycle components. Using fuel with ethanol content over 10% will render the Warranty null and void.
Warning
In case of malaise caused by prolonged inhalation of fuel vapors, stay outdoors and consult a physician. In case of contact with eyes, rinse eyes thoroughly with water. In case of contact with skin, wash the area immediately with soap and water.
Warning
Fuel is highly flammable. If it accidentally spills onto clothes, change them.

Carrying the maximum load allowed

Your motorcycle is designed for long-distance riding with the maximum load allowed carried in full safety.
Even weight distribution is critical to preserving these safety features and avoiding difficulties when performing sudden maneuvers or riding on bumpy roads.
Warning
Do not exceed the total permitted weight for the motorcycle and pay attention to the information below regarding load capacity.
Information about carrying capacity
Important
Arrange your luggage or heavy accessories in the lowest possible position and close to motorcycle center.
Important
Never fix bulky or heavy objects to the steering head or front mudguard, as this would affect stability and be dangerous.
15
Important
Be sure to secure the luggage to the supports provided on the motorcycle as firmly as possible. Improperly secured luggage may affect stability.
Important
Do not insert any objects you may need to carry into the gaps of the frame, as these may interfere with moving parts.
Warning
Make sure tires are inflated to the correct pressure indicated at page 234 and that they are in good condition.
16

Dangerous products - warnings

Used engine oil
Warning
Prolonged or repeated contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer. If exposed to used engine oil on a daily basis, make it a rule to wash your hands thoroughly with soap immediately after use. Keep away from children.
Brake lining debris
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 painted parts of the motorcycle to avoid the risk of damage. Protect these parts with a clean shop rag before servicing the motorcycle. Keep away from children.
Warning
The brake fluid used in the brake system is corrosive. In the event of accidental contact with eyes or skin, wash the affected area with generous quantities of running water.
Coolant
Engine coolant contains ethylene glycol, which may ignite under particular conditions, producing invisible flames. Although the flames from burning ethylene glycol are not visible, they are still capable of causing severe burns.
Warning
Take care not to spill engine coolant on the exhaust system or engine parts. These parts may be hot and ignite the coolant, which will subsequently burn with invisible flames.
Coolant (ethylene glycol) is an irritant and is poisonous when ingested. Keep away from children. Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. The coolant will be scalding hot and is under high pressure.
The cooling fan operates automatically: keep hands well clear and make sure your clothing does not get caught in the fan.
Battery
Warning
The battery gives off explosive gases; keep it away from any source of ignition such as sparks, flames and cigarettes. Charge the battery in a well­ventilated area.

Noise and exhaust emission control system information

combustion chamber through the air cleaner and the throttle body.
Source of Emissions
The combustion process produces carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons. Control of hydrocarbons is very important because under certain conditions, they react to form photochemical smog when subjected to sunlight. Carbon monoxide does not react in the same way, but is toxic. Ducati utilizes lean carburetor settings and other systems to reduce carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons.
Exhaust Emission Control System
Exhaust Emission Control System is controlled by an Electronic Control Unit (ECU), and no adjustments should be made except idle speed adjustments with the throttle stop screw. The Exhaust Emission Control System is separate from the crankcase emission control system.
Crankcase Emission Control System
The engine is equipped with a closed crankcase system to prevent discharging crankcase emissions into the atmosphere. Blow-by gas is returned to the
26
Evaporative Emission Control System
The motorcycles are equipped with an evaporative emission control system which consists of a charcoal canister and associated piping. This system prevents the escape of fuel vapors from the engine and fuel tank.
Problems that may affect motorcycle emissions
If you are aware of any of the following symptoms, have the vehicle inspected and repaired by your local Ducati dealer. Symptoms: Hard starting or stalling after starting. Rough idle. Misfiring or backfiring during acceleration. After-burning (backfiring). Poor performance (drivability) and poor economy.
