Warranty

In your own interest, and in order to guarantee product reliability, you are strongly advised to refer to our authorised Dealers and workshops 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.

Warning

Failure to comply with these instructions may put you

at risk and lead to severe injury or death.

Important

Possibility of damaging the motorcycle and/or its

components.

Note

Additional information concerning the job being carried

out. 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.

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 fe et 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 suitable grab handle at the rear 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 indicators.

Be sure you are clearly visible and do not ride within the bli nd 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 mufflers 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/centre 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, carr ying the maximum load allowed in full safety and comfort. Even weight distribution is critical to preserving these saf ety features and avoiding trouble when performing sudden manoeuvres or riding on bumpy roads.

Important

When the side panniers are fitted, it is recommended to never exceed 120 Km/h. Further reduce speed if tyre s are worn down and when riding on poor road surface or with

poor visibility.

Information about carrying capacity

The total weight of the motorcycle in running order including rider, pillion passenger, luggage and additional accessories should not exceed 420 Kg / 924 Ibs. The weight of luggage alone should never exceed 23 Kg divided as follows (fig. 1):

max 9 kg for each side pannier; max 5 kg for tank bag.

fig. 1

Try to 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 mud guard 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. If you install the side panniers (available from Ducati Spare Parts Department): sort luggage and accessories so to distribute weight evenly and then arrange them in the panniers so that they are well balanced; lock both side panniers using the suitable key lock. Make sure the tyres are inflated to the proper pressure indicated at page 86 and that they are in good condition.

Identification data

All Ducati motorcycles have two identification numbers, for frame (fig. 2) and engine (fig. 3).

Frame number

Engine number

Note

These numbers identify the motorcycle model and should always be indicated when ordering spare parts.

Backlighting function

Instrument panel backlighting is active only if the parking light or the low/high beam is on. In this case the instrument panel automatically turns on or off the backlighting, thanks to some sensors measuring light condition and ambient temperature.

Pilot lights brightness function

This function is active only if the parking light or the low/high beam is on. Pilot lights brightness is automatically adjusted by the instrument panel according to the outer light measured.

Headlight automatic switch-off

This function allows you to reduce current consumption from the battery, by automatically managing headlight switchingoff. The device is enabled in two instances:

- First instance - Ignition key is turned from OFF to ON

without starting the engine. After 60 seconds, headlight is turned off and will be turned back on upon next key OFF / key ON, or after you start the engine.

- Second instance - After riding, engine is stopped using

the ENGINE STOP switch (2, fig. 20). After 60 seconds from engine stop, headlight is turned off and will be turned back on upon next engine start or key OFF / key ON cycle.

Note

While starting the engine, the system switches off the headlight and turns it back on again after engine has started, or anyway when the button (3, fig. 20) is released.

The immobilizer system

For improved antitheft protection, the motorcycle is equipped with an IMMOBILIZER, an electronic system that inhibits engine operation whenever the ignition switch is turned off. Accommodated in the handgrip of each ignition key is an electronic device that modulates an output signal. This signal is generated by a special antenna incorporated in the switch when the ignition is turned on and changes every time. 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 maintenance tool and is part of the Immobilizer system of your motorcycle. It contains the “code” of your immobilizer system and shall not be used for everyday use of your Ducati motorcycle. Your Ducati dealer might ask you to bring it in for some service operations. For safety reasons, this tool (red key) can not be replaced. In case the red key is needed for servicing and you can not give it to the workshop staff, it will be necessary to change the engine control unit, the instrument panel and the ignition switch unit and the (high) cost for changing all these parts will be at your charge. Store the red key in a safe place.

- 2 BLACK keys (B)

Warning

Red key has a rubber cover for preserving it in perfect conditions and avoiding contact with other keys. Never remove this protection unless really needed.

The black keys are regular ignition keys and are used to:

- start up the engine

- open the lock of the fuel tank filler plug

- open the seat lock. The red key performs the same functions as the black keys, and is also used to wipe off and re-program other black keys, if needed.

fig. 14

Warning

Any important shock might damage the electronic

components fitted into the key.

Note

The three keys have a small plate (1) attached that

reports their identification number.

Warning

Keep the keys in different places. Store the plate (1) and the red key in a safe place. It is al so recommended to use always the same black key to start the bike.

Code card

A CODE CARD (fig. 15) is supplied together with the keys, it indicates the electronic code (A, fig. 16) to be used i n case of emergency start-up and the engine will not start up after the key-ON.

Warning

Keep the CODE CARD in a safe place. However, it is advisable to keep the electronic code printed on the CODE CARD handy when you ride your motorcycle, in case it is necessary to enable the engine through the procedure that uses the throttle twistgrip (see page 26). This procedure lets you disable the “engine block” function

- indicated by the amber EOBD light (5, fig. 6) coming on - in the event of problems with the immobilizer system.

fig. 15

fig. 16

Procedure to disable immobilizer engine block through throttle twistgrip

1) Turn the key to ON and fully open throttle. Keep it open. The EOBD light (5, fig. 6) turns off after 8 seconds.

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

3) EOBD pilot light will flash. It is now necessary to enter the electronic code indicated on the CODE CARD delivered to the customer together with the bike.

4) Count the blinks of the EOBD light until you get as many blinks as the first digit in the electronic code. Open the

throttle fully for 2 seconds and then release. In this way the input of one figure is acknowledged, EOBD pilot light comes on and stays on for 4 seconds. Carry out the same procedure for the following figures of the code. Failure to comply with this procedure, the EOBD pilot light will flash for 20 times, then will come on steady. Repeat the procedure starting from step (1).

5) Release the throttle twistgrip, if the code is correct the following two conditions may occur:

A) the EOBD warning light shall flash signalling that engine

block has been disabled. The warning light turns off after 4 seconds or if engine revolutions go over the lim it value of 1000 rpm.

B) The IMMO light (3, fig. 5.2 and fig. 5.1) keeps flashing

until the engine exceeds 1000 rpm, or until engine is restarted.

6) If the code is NOT correct, the EOBD warning light and the IMMO light stay on and it is then possible to repeat the procedure, starting from point 2, as many times as necessary (infinite).

Note

Should the throttle twistgrip be released before the set time, the warning light turns on again. It is then necessary to bring the key to OFF and restart the procedure from point (1).

Operation

When the ignition key is turned to OFF, the immobilizer inhibits engine operation. When the ignition key is turned back to ON to start the engine (Key-ON), the following happens:

1) if the CPU recognised the code, the IMMO light 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 start button, the engine will start up.

2) If the IMMO light stays on, it means that the code has not been recognised. When this is the case, turn the ignition key back to OFF and then to ON again; if the engine still does not start, try with the other black key. If the other key does not work out either, contact the DUCATI Service network.

3) Should the IMMO pilot light still be flashing, it means that an immobilizer system fault was reset (e.g. with the overriding procedure through throttle grip).

Important

Use only one key during the procedure. Failure to do so might prevent the system from recognising the code of the key in use.

Duplicate keys

If you need any additional key, 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 8 keys in total. You may be asked to identify yourself as the legitimate owner of the motorcycle. Be sure you have any documents you might need to this end ready. 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.

Note

If you sell your motorcycle, do not forget to give all

keys and the CODE CARD to the new owner.

Key-operated ignition switch and steering lock (fig. 17)

It is located in front of the fuel tank and has four positions:

A) ON: lights and engine on; B) OFF: lights and engine off; C) LOCK: steering locked; D) P: parking light on, steering locked.

Note

To move the key to the last two positions, press it down before turning it. Switching to (B), (C) and (D), you will be able to take the key out.
