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 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 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 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 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
E
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, pillion passenger, luggage and additional accessories
should not exceed:
385 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 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.
Make sure the tyres are inflated to the proper pressure
indicated at page 58 and that they are in good condition.

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. 7)
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 keys B 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 key A performs the same functions as the keys B, and is
also used to wipe off and re-program other black keys, if
needed.

Note
E
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 key A in a safe place.
It is also recommended to use always the same black key to
start the bike.
Code card
A CODE CARD (fig. 8) is supplied together with the keys, it
indicates the electronic code (A, fig. 9) to be used in case of
engine disabled and therefore if 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 remove engine block through the procedure
that uses the throttle twistgrip.
In case of faulty immobilizer system, the following procedure
gives the chance to disable "engine block" function immediately signalled by the orange EOBD warning light (7,
fig. 4.2).
But this operation can be carried out only if the electronic
code indicated on the code card is known.
16
fig. 8
A
fig. 9
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 (7, fig. 4.2) 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 as many flashes of the EOBD pilot light (7, fig.
4.2) as the first digit of the electronic code.
Fully open the throttle for 2 seconds, and 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
EOBD warning light shall flash signalling that engine
block has been disabled. The warning light turns off
after 4 seconds.
6) If the code is NOT correct, the EOBD warning light stays
on and it is then possible to turn the key to OFF and
repeat the procedure, starting from point (1), 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).
E
17
Operation
When the ignition key is turned to OFF, the immobilizer
E
inhibits engine operation. When the ignition key is turned
back to ON to start the engine, the following happens:
1) if the CPU recognised the code, the light (6, fig. 4.1) on
the instrument panel will flash briefly. This means that
the immobilizer system has recognised the key code
and enabled engine ignition. Press the START button (2,
fig. 14), to start the engine;
2) if light (6, fig. 4.1) or EOBD light (7, fig. 4.2) stay on, it
means that the code was not acknowledged. 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 pilot light (6, fig. 4.1) still be flashing, it
means that an immobilizer system fault was reset (e.g.
with the overriding procedure through throttle grip). Turn
the key to OFF and back to ON, the immobilizer pilot
light should go back to its normal operation (see point 1).
Warning
Any important shock might damage the electronic
components fitted into the key.
Use only one key during the procedure. Failure to do so
might prevent the system from recognising the code of the
key in use.
18
Duplicate keys
If you need any duplicate keys, 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.
