Introduction
Safety guidelines
We would like to welcome you among Ducati enthusiasts, and congratulate you on your excellent choice of motorcycle. We think you will ride your Ducati motorcycle for long journeys as well as short daily trips. Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A. wishes you smooth and enjoyable riding.
Your motorcycle is the result of Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A.'s on-going research and development efforts. It is important that you preserve its quality standard by strictly observing the maintenance plan and using genuine spare parts. This manual provides instructions on minor maintenance operations. Major maintenance operations are described in the Workshop Manual available to Ducati Authorised Service Centres. In your own interest, for your safety and in order to guarantee product reliability, you are strongly advised to refer to our authorised Dealers and Service Centres
for any operations listed in the scheduled maintenance chart, see page 287.
Our highly skilled staff have access to special implements and appropriate equipment 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. The warranty does not apply to motorcycles used in racing competitions. Tampering with or altering any components, even partially, will make the warranty null and void effective immediately. Improper or poor maintenance, using other than original spare parts or parts not expressly approved by Ducati may invalidate your warranty rights and lead to damage or loss of performance.
Your safety and that of other road users are very important. Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A. recommends that you ride responsibly. Before using your motorcycle for the first time, read this entire manual carefully and closely follow the guidelines outlined in it. The manual provides full information on proper motorcycle operation and maintenance. In case of any doubts, please contact a Dealer or Authorised Service Centre.
7
Warning symbols used in the manual
Several kinds of warnings are used as an alert of the possible hazards for you or other persons such as:
- Safety labels on the motorcycle;
- Safety messages preceded by a warning symbol and either WARNING or IMPORTANT.
Warning
Failure to comply with these instructions may put you at risk, and could lead to severe injury or even death of the rider or other persons.
Important
Possibility of damaging the motorcycle and/or its components.
Note
Additional information about the current operation.
The terms RIGHT and LEFT are referred to the motorcycle viewed from the riding position.
8
Intended use
This motorcycle must be ridden on asphalt or on flat and even surfaces, only. This motorcycle may not be used for riding on dirt trails or for off-road riding.
Warning
Off-road riding may lead to loss of control and result in vehicle damage, personal injuries or even death.
Warning
This motorcycle may not be used to tow any trailers or with a side-car attached; this can lead to loss of control and result in an accident.
This motorcycle carries the rider and can carry a passenger provided that the supplied kit, which can be installed only at a Ducati Dealer or Authorised Service Centre, is fitted.
Warning
The total weight of the motorcycle in running order including rider, passenger, luggage and additional accessories should not exceed 410kg/ 904lb.
Important
Using the motorcycle under extreme conditions, such as very damp and muddy roads or dusty and dry environment, could cause above­average wear of components like the drive system, the brakes or the air filter. If the air filter is dirty, the engine could get damaged. Therefore, this might translate in required service or replacement of the wear parts earlier than specified in the scheduled maintenance chart.
9
Rider's obligations
All riders must hold a valid licence.
Warning
Riding without a licence is illegal and is prosecuted by law. Always make sure you have your licence with you when riding. Do not let inexperienced riders or persons without a valid licence use your motorcycle.
Do not ride under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.
Warning
Riding under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs is illegal and is prosecuted by law.
Do not take prescription or other drugs before riding unless you have consulted your doctor about their side effects.
Warning
Some medications and drugs may cause drowsiness or other effects that slow down reaction time and the rider's ability to control the motorcycle, possibly leading to an accident.
Some states require vehicle insurance.
Warning
Check your state laws. Obtain insurance coverage and keep your insurance document secure with the other motorcycle documents.
To protect rider and passenger safety, some states mandate the use of a certified helmet.
Warning
Check your state laws. Riding without a helmet may be punishable by law.
Warning
Riders without helmets are more likely to suffer severe bodily injury or die if they are in an accident.
10
Warning
Check that your helmet complies with safety specifications, permits good vision, is the right size for your head, and carries a certification label indicating that it conforms to the standards in force in your state. Road traffic laws differ from state to state. Learn about traffic laws in your state before riding and always obey them.
11
Rider's training
Accidents are frequently due to inexperience. Riding, manoeuvres and braking must be performed in a different way than on the other vehicles.
Warning
Untrained riders or a wrong use of the vehicle may lead to loss of control, serious injuries or even death.
Apparel
Riding gear is very important for safety. Unlike cars, a motorcycle offers no impact protection in an accident.
Proper riding gear includes helmet, eye protection, gloves, boots, long sleeve jacket and long trousers.
- The helmet must meet the requirements listed at
page 10; if your helmet does not have a visor, use suitable eye wear;
- Use five-finger gloves made from leather or
abrasion-resistant material;
- Riding boots or shoes must have non-slip soles
and offer ankle protection;
- Jacket, trousers or riding suit must be made from leather or abrasion-resistant material and have high-visibility colours and inserts.
Important
Never wear loose clothing, items or accessories
that may become tangled in motorcycle parts.
Important
For your safety, always wear suitable protective
gear, regardless of season and weather.
Important
Have your passenger wear proper protective
clothing.
12
Safety "Best Practices"
These few simple operations are critical to people safety and to preserving the full performance of your motorcycle. Never forget to perform them before, while and after riding.
Important
Closely follow the indications provided at chapter "Riding the motorcycle" during the running-in period. 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
Before riding your motorcycle, become familiar with the controls you will need to use when riding.
Perform the checks recommended in this manual before each ride (see page 235).
Warning
Failure to carry out these checks before riding may lead to motorcycle damage and injury to rider and/or passenger.
Warning
Start the engine outdoors or in a well ventilated area. The engine should never be started or run indoors. Exhaust gases are poisonous and may lead to loss of consciousness or even death within a short time. Use proper body position while riding and ensure your passenger does the same.
Important
Rider must hold the handlebar with both hands at ALL TIMES while riding.
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 belt located on passenger seat with both hands.
13
Important
Be very careful when tackling road junctions, or when riding in areas near exits from private grounds, car parks or on slip roads to access motorways.
Important
Be sure you are clearly visible and do not ride within the blind spot of vehicles ahead.
Important
ALWAYS signal your intention to turn or pull to the next lane in good time using the suitable turn indicators.
Important
Park your motorcycle where no one is likely to knock against it, and use the side stand. Never park on uneven or soft ground, or your motorcycle may fall over.
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.
Warning
Engine, exhaust pipes and silencers stay hot long after the engine is switched off; pay particular attention not to touch the exhaust system with any body part and do not park the vehicle next to flammable material (wood, leaves etc.).
Warning
Always remove the key when you leave your motorcycle unattended and make sure it is not accessible to persons not authorised to use the motorcycle.
14
Refuelling
Refuel outdoors with engine off. Do not smoke or use open flames while refuelling. Be careful not to spill fuel on engine or exhaust pipe. Never completely fill the tank when refuelling. Fuel should never be touching the rim of filler recess. When refuelling, avoid breathing the fuel vapours and prevent fuel from reaching your eyes, skin or clothes.
Warning
The motorcycle is only compatible with fuel having a maximum content of ethanol of 10% (E10). Using fuel with ethanol content over 10% is forbidden. Using it could result in severe damage of the engine and motorcycle components. Using fuel with ethanol content over 10% will make the warranty null and void.
Warning
In case of indisposition caused by breathing fuel vapours for a long time, stay in the open air and contact your doctor. In case of contact with eyes, thoroughly flush with water; in case of contact with skin, immediately clean with water and soap.
Warning
Fuel is highly flammable, in case of accidental spillage of fuel on your clothes it is necessary to change into clean clothes.
15
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.
Warning
Do not exceed the total permitted weight for the motorcycle and pay attention to information provided below regarding load capacity.
Information about carrying capacity
Important
Arrange your luggage or heavy accessories in the lowest possible position and close to motorcycle centre.
Important
Never fix bulky or heavy objects to the handlebar or to the front mudguard as this would affect stability and cause danger.
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 foul moving parts.
Warning
Make sure the tyres are inflated to the proper pressure and that they are in good condition.
Refer to paragraph "Tyres" on page 270.
16
Dangerous products - warnings
Used engine oil
Warning
Prolonged or repeated contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer. If working with engine oil on a daily basis, we recommend washing your hands thoroughly with soap immediately afterwards. Keep away from children.
Brake dust
Never clean the brake assembly using compressed air or a dry brush.
Brake fluid
Warning
Spilling brake fluid onto plastic, rubber or painted parts of the motorcycle may cause damages. Protect these parts with a clean shop cloth before proceeding to service the system. Keep away from children.
Warning
The fluid used in the brake system is corrosive. In the event of accidental contact with eyes or skin, wash the affected area with abundant 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 irritant and poisonous when ingested. Keep away from children. Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. The coolant is under pressure and will cause severe burns.
17
The cooling fan operates automatically: keep hands well clear and make sure your clothing does not snag on the fan.
Battery
Warning
The battery gives off explosive gases; never cause sparks or allow naked flames and cigarettes near the battery. When charging the battery, ensure that the working area is properly ventilated.

Technological Dictionary
Riding Mode
The rider can choose from 3 different preset bike configurations (Riding Modes) and pick the one that best suits his/her riding style or ground conditions. The Riding Modes allow the user to instantly change the engine power delivery (Power Mode) and the ABS, DTC, DQS (for SuperSport S only) settings. Available Riding Modes: Sport, Touring, Urban. Within every Riding Mode, the rider can customise any settings.
Power Mode
The Power Modes are the different engine maps the rider can select to change power level and delivery to suit his/her own riding style and surface conditions. There are three Power Modes, one for each Riding Mode:
- LOW, with 'soft' power delivery;
- MED, with 'soft' power delivery;
- HIGH, with 'instant' power delivery.
Ride by Wire (RbW)
The Ride by Wire system is the electronic device that controls throttle opening and closing. Since there is no mechanical connection between the throttle twistgrip and the throttle bodies, the ECU can adjust
26
power delivery by directly affecting throttle opening angle. The Ride by Wire system allows you to obtain different power level and delivery according to the selected Riding Mode (Power Mode), but even to accurately control the engine brake (EBC), thereby helping to control the rear wheel slipping (DTC).
Ducati Traction Control (DTC)
The Ducati Traction Control system (DTC) supervises the rear wheel slipping control and settings vary through eight different levels that are calibrated to offer a different tolerance level to rear wheel slipping. Each Riding Mode features a pre-set intervention level. Level 8 indicates system intervention whenever a slight slipping is detected, while level 1 is for off­road use and very expert riders because it is less sensitive to slipping and intervention is hence softer.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) 9.1 MP
The ABS 9.1MP system fitted to the SuperSport is a safety system preventing wheel lockup while riding with the motorcycle not leaning over. The SuperSport ABS implements rear wheel lift-up control in order to ensure not only smaller stopping
distance under braking, but also the best possible stability. These functions are divided into 3 different levels. ABS can be disabled.
Ducati Quick Shift (DQS)
The Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) is the electronic shifter control system (for SuperSport S only) that allows the rider to shift up under acceleration without using the clutch and keeping the throttle open: this results in lower shifting time and hence faster lap time.
