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 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 suitable rear handgrip 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
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 refueling.
Be extremely careful not to spill fuel on the engine or on
the exhaust pipe when refueling.
Do not smoke when refueling.
While refueling, you may inhale noxious fuel vapors.
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/center stand.
Never park on uneven or soft ground or your motorcycle
may fall over.
E
7
Carrying the maximum load allowed
Your motorcycle is designed for long-distance riding,
carrying the maximum load allowed in full safety and
comfort.
Even weight distribution is critical to preserving these
safety features and avoiding trouble when performing
sudden manoeuvres or riding on bumpy roads.
Important
E
When the side panniers are fitted, it is
recommended to never exceed 120 Km/h.
Further reduce speed if tyres are worn down and when
riding on poor road surface or with poor visibility.
8
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.
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.

is switched off and will be turned on only upon the
following Key-ON.
- After having used the bike, with headlight on, if the
engine is stopped via the ENGINE KILL switch (2, fig. 21),
after 60 seconds from engine stop, the headlight is
turned off and will be turned on upon the following
engine start-up.
24
The immobilizer system
For improved anti-theft 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)
1
B
A
The Owner receives a set of keys comprising:
- 1 RED key (A)
- 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.
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 also recommended to use always the same black
key to start the bike.
E
fig. 14
25
Code card
A CODE CARD (fig. 15) is supplied together with the
keys, it indicates the electronic code (A, fig. 16) to be
used in 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
E
case it is necessary to remove engine block through the
procedure that uses the throttle twistgrip (see page 35).
In case of faulty immobilizer system, this procedure gives
the chance to disable "engine block" function -signalled by
the orange EOBD warning light (5, fig. 6).
26
fig. 15
A
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 warning light turns off after 8 seconds.
2) Release the throttle as soon as the EOBD warning
light turns off.
3) EOBD pilot light will flash. Count a number of flashes
corresponding to the first figure of the code printed on
the CODE CARD, open full throttle and keep the position
for 2 seconds, 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 do so will
cause the EOBD pilot light to flash 20 times, then it will
stay on. This means that the procedure has been
aborted. It will be necessary to turn the key to OFF and
restart from point 1.
4) Repeat operations described in point 3 up to the last
figure of the code.
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
limit value of 1000 rpm.
B) the IMMO light (3, fig. 5.1-5.2) flashes until engine
rpm get above 1000 rpm, or until engine is re-started.
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.
27
E
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.
E
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 another 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 recognizing the
code of the key in use.
28
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.

The rear view mirrors of your motorcycle are made up of
two parts held together by a special inner spring. This
spring counters mirror rotation so the mirror will not
smash the headlamp fairing if hit accidentally. The spring
then moves the mirror back to its original position.
Important
If either of the mirror parts comes off, have the
mirror repaired or replaced by a Ducati Dealer or
Authorized Workshop.
Warning
Never ride with a missing rear view mirror: the
inability to see the traffic behind you may lead to severe
accidents.
The mirrors have bifocal lenses that offer a wider range
of vision, with no blind spots:
A) inner area = normal view
B) outer area = magnified view.
Warning
What you see in the mirror is actually closer to you
than it appears in the mirror view, even more so when
looking at the magnifying outer area (B).

58
Moving off
1) Disengage the clutch squeezing the control lever.
2) Push down on gear change lever sharply with the tip
of your foot to engage the first gear.
3) Speed up engine, by turning the throttle twistgrip and
slightly releasing the clutch lever at the same time. The
motorcycle will start moving off.
4) Let go of clutch lever and speed up.
5) To shift up, close the throttle to slow down engine,
disengage the clutch, lift the gear change lever and let go
of clutch lever.
To shift down, release the twistgrip, pull the clutch
control lever, shortly speed up to help gears synchronize,
shift down and release the clutch.
The controls should be used correctly and timely: when
riding uphill do not hesitate to shift down as soon as the
motorcycle tends to slow down, so you will avoid
stressing the engine and the motorcycle abnormally.
Important
Avoid harsh accelerations, as this may lead to
misfiring and transmission snatching. The clutch lever
should not be pulled longer than necessary after gear is
engaged, or friction parts may overheat and wear out.
Braking
Slow down in time, shift down to engine-brake first and
then brake applying both brakes. Pull the clutch lever
before stopping the motorcycle, to avoid sudden engine
stop.
ABS system (ST4s ABS)
Using the brakes correctly under adverse conditions is
the hardest – and yet the most critical - skill to master for
a rider. Statistically, the risk of a fall or an accident is
highest during braking. A locked front wheel leads to loss
of traction and stability, resulting in loss of control.
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) has been developed
to enable riders to use the vehicle’s braking force to the
fullest possible amount in emergency braking or under
poor pavement or adverse weather conditions.
ABS uses hydraulics and electronics to limit pressure in
the brake circuit when a special sensor mounted to the
wheel signals the electronic control unit that the wheel is
about to lock up. This avoids wheel lockup and preserves
traction.
E
59
Pressure is raised back up immediately and the control
unit keeps controlling the brake until the risk of a lockup
disappears.
Normally, the rider will perceive ABS operation as a
harder feel or a pulsation of the brake lever and pedal.
The front and rear brakes use separate control systems,
meaning that they operate independently. Likewise, the
ABS is not an integrated braking system and does not
control both the front and rear brake at the same time.
The ABS may be turned off by pressing the button
E
incorporated in the LH switch (see page 31).
60
Warning
When the ABS is off, the vehicle provides the
standard braking force offered by the regular braking
system. As a result, using one brake at a time will reduce
braking efficiency.
Never use brake controls harshly or violently or you may
lock the wheels and lose control of the motorcycle.
When riding in the rain or on slippery surfaces, braking
will become less effective. Always use the brakes very
gently and carefully when riding under these conditions.
Any sudden manoeuvres may lead to loss of control.
When tackling long, high-gradient downhill road tracts,
shift down gears to use engine braking. Apply one brake
at a time and use brakes sparingly. Keeping the brakes
applied all the time would cause the friction material to
overheat and reduce braking power dangerously.
Underinflated tyres reduce braking efficiency, handling
accuracy and stability in a bend.
Stopping the motorcycle
If you let go of the throttle twistgrip, the motorcycle will
slow down gradually and smoothly. Then, shift down
releasing the clutch, and finally change from first to
neutral. Apply brakes and you will bring the motorcycle
to a complete stop. To switch the engine off, simply turn
the key to OFF (fig. 50).
Important
Never leave the key in the ON position when
engine is stopped, or this will damage the electric
components.
Parking
Stop the motorcycle, then put it on the centre stand to
park it (see page 44).
Turn the handlebar fully left and turn the key to the
LOCK position (fig. 51).
To avoid theft, use the supplied padlock (see page 42).
If you park in a garage or other facilities, make sure that
there is proper ventilation and that the motorcycle is not
near a source of heat.
You may leave the parking lights on by turning the key to
position P.
E
fig. 50
fig. 51
61
Important
Do not leave the key turned to P for long periods or
the battery will run down.
Never leave the ignition key in the switch when you are
leaving your bike unattended.
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
E
the vehicle next to inflammable material (wood, leaves
etc.).
Refueling
Never overfill the tank when refueling. Fuel should never
be touching the rim of filler recess (fig. 52).
Warning
Use low-lead fuel having at least 95 fuel octane
rating. Be sure there is no fuel trapped in the filler recess.

As tyre pressure is affected by temperature and altitude
variations, you are advised to check and adjust it
whenever you are riding in areas where ample variations
in temperature or altitude occur.
Important
Check and set tyre pressure when tyres are cold.
To avoid front wheel rim distortion, when riding on
bumpy roads, increase front tyre pressure by 0.2 - 0.3
bar.
Tyre repair or replacement
In the event of a tiny puncture, tubeless tyres will take a
long time to deflate, as they tend to keep air inside. If
you find low pressure on one tyre, check the tyre for
punctures.
86
After replacing a tyre, the wheel must be balanced.
Important
Do not remove or shift the wheel balancing
weights.
Warning (ST4s ABS)
Have the tyres replaced at a Dealer or Authorized
Workshop. Correct removal and installation of the wheels
is essential, as some parts of the ABS (such as sensors
and phonic wheels) are mounted to the wheels and
require specific adjustment.
Minimum tread depth
Measure tread depth (S, fig. 91) at the point where tread
is most worn down. It should not be less than 2 mm and
anyway not below the legal limit.
Important
Visually inspect the tyres at regular intervals for
detecting cracks and cuts, especially on the side walls,
bulges or large spots that are indicative of internal
damage. Replace them if badly damaged.
Remove any stones or other foreign bodies caught in the
tread.

Cleaning and replacing the spark plugs (fig. 93)
Spark plugs are essential to smooth engine running and
should be checked at regular intervals. This is done quite
easily and quickly and provides a good measure of
engine condition.
Remove the l.h. fairing, remove the spark plug caps and
spark plugs from the cylinder head using the wrench
supplied with the bike.
Check the color of the insulating ceramic material of the
central electrode: a light brown, even color is a sign of
good engine condition. If color has altered or you find any
dark deposits, change the spark plug and report this to
your Dealer or authorized workshop.
Check wear on the central electrode. If it looks worn out
or has a vitreous appearance, change the spark plug.
Check electrode gap: it should be 0.6-0.7 mm.
Important
If the gap needs adjusting, be very careful when
bending the side electrode. If gap is too wide or too
close, engine performance will be affected. This could
also cause difficult starting or irregular idling.
Clean the electrode and the insulating material accurately
using a small metal brush and check seal condition.
Clean the seat in the cylinder head. Be careful not to let
any foreign matters fall into the combustion chamber.
Refit spark plug into cylinder head. Snug it finger-tight
until it is fully seated into the head. Tighten the spark
plug to 20 Nm.
If you do not have a torque wrench, you can use the
wrench supplied with the tool kit to tighten the spark
plug an additional 1/2 turn.
Important
Never use spark plugs with a heat rating other than
recommended or a thread length other than standard.
Spark plugs should be tightened properly.

Cleaning the motorcycle
To preserve the finish of metal parts and paintwork,
wash and clean your motorcycle at regular intervals,
anyway according to the road conditions you ride in.
Use specific products only. Prefer biodegradable
products. Avoid aggressive detergents or solvents.
Important
Do not wash your motorcycle right after use. When
the motorcycle is still hot, water drops will evaporate
E
faster and spot hot surfaces.
Never clean the motorcycle using hot or high-pressure
water jets.
Cleaning the motorcycle with water cleaners may lead to
seizure or severe failure of front fork, wheel hub
assembly, electric system, front fork seals, air inlets or
exhaust silencers and adversely affect the operation of
motorcycle safety features.
Clean off stubborn dirt or exceeding grease from engine
parts using a degreasing agent. Be sure to avoid contact
with drive parts (chain, sprockets, etc.)
Rinse with warm water and dry all surfaces with chamois
leather.
90
Warning
Braking performance may be impaired immediately
after washing the motorcycle.
Never grease or lubricate the brake discs. Loss of
braking and further accidents may occur. Clean the discs
with an oil-free solvent.
Carefully clean the phonic wheels of the ABS so to
ensure system efficiency. Do not use agressive products
so to avoid damaging the phonic wheels and the
sensors.
Storing the bike away
If the motorcycle is to be left unridden over long periods,
it is advisable to carry out the following operations before
storing it away:
clean the motorcycle;
undo the drain plug with its seal and empty the fuel tank;
pour a few drops of engine oil into the cylinders through
the spark plug seats, then crank the engine by hand a
few times so a protective film of oil will spread on
cylinder inner walls;
place the motorcycle on the service stand;
remove the battery and keep it well charged and
efficient. Battery should be checked and charged
whenever the motorcycle has been left unridden for over
a month;
protect the motorcycle with a suitable canvas available
from Ducati Performance. This will protect paintwork and
let condensate breathe out.
Important notes
Some countries, such as France, Germany, Great Britain,
Switzerland, etc. have compulsory emission and noise
standards that include mandatory inspections at regular
intervals.
It is the Owner’s responsibility to have any parts not in
compliance with the standards in force in his/her country
replaced with Ducati original spare parts complying with
local law.
Important - only for Australia
Tampering wih noise control system is prohibited.
Owners are warned that the law may prohibit:
(a) The removal or rendering inoperative by any person
other than for purposes of maintenance, repair or
