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.
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. E Information about carrying capacity The total weight of the motorcycle in running order including rider, pillion passenger, luggage and additional accessories should not exceed 370 Kg.
Identification data All Ducati motorcycles have two identification numbers, for frame (fig. 1) and engine (fig. 2). Frame number Engine number Note These numbers identify the motorcycle model and should always be indicated when ordering spare parts. E fig. 1 fig.

It reminds you of the routine maintenance servicing to be done.
E 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.
Code card The keys come with a CODE CARD (fig. 8) that reports: A) (fig. 9) the electronic code to be used in case of engine block, i.e. bike did not start after key-ON. B) (fig. 9) the mechanical code for the keys to be reported to the DUCATI Service network when you are ordering any duplicate keys. Warning Keep the CODE CARD in a safe place.
E 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, open full throttle and keep the position for 2 seconds, then release.
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, the following happens: 1) if the CPU recognised the code, the CODE 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 CODE light stays on, it means that the code has not been recognised.

If level drops below the limit, air might get into the circuit and affect the operation of the system involved. Brake and clutch fluid must be topped up and changed at the intervals specified in the routine maintenance chart (see Warranty Card) by a Ducati Dealer or Authorized Workshop. E Important It is recommended all brake and clutch lines be changed every four years.
Brake system If you find exceeding play on brake lever or pedal and brake pads are still in good condition, contact a Ducati Dealer or Authorized Workshop to have the system inspected and any air drained out of the circuit. E Warning Brake and clutch fluid will damage paintwork and plastic parts if accidentally spilled. Hydraulic oil is corrosive; it may cause damages and lead to severe injuries. Never mix different quality oils. Check seals for proper sealing. Checking brake pads for wear (fig.
Lubricating cables and joints The condition of the outer sheaths of the throttle and fast-idle cables should be checked at regular intervals. The sheaths should show no signs of squeezing or cracking. Work the controls to make sure the cable slides smoothly inside the sheath: if you feel any friction or hard spots, have the cable replaced by a Ducati Dealer or Authorized Workshop. To prevent these failures, smear the end of the Bowden cables with SHELL Advance Grease or Retinax LX2 at regular intervals.
2÷4 mm ➤ ➤ Throttle cable adjustment The throttle twistgrip must have a free play of 2 - 4 mm, measured at the edge of the twistgrip and at all positions of the handlebars. If it needs adjusting, use the suitable adjuster (1, fig. 41) provided on the throttle control. 1 E fig.
Charging the battery (fig. 42) Before charging the battery, it is best to remove it from the motorcycle. Always disconnect the black negative terminal (-) first, and then the red positive terminal (+). Undo the straps (1) and remove the battery. Warning Batteries develop explosive gases: keep battery away from heat sources and flames. Charge the battery in a well ventilated room. Connect the battery charger leads to the battery terminals (red to positive terminal +, black to negative terminal -).
E Chain tensioning Turn the rear wheel slowly until you find the position where chain tension is highest. With the motorcycle on the side stand, push the chain up pressing with a finger at the mid-length of swingarm. The lower portion of the chain should have a slack of 25- 27 mm (fig. 43). To adjust chain tension, slacken the nut (1, fig. 44) of the wheel spindle. Then tighten (clockwise) or slacken similarly the screw (2) on both sides of the swing arm to increase or reduce chain tension.
Chain lubrication The chain fitted on your motorcycle has O-rings that keep dirt out of and lubricant inside the sliding parts. The seals might be irreparably damaged if the chain is cleaned using non-specific solvents or washed using steam or water jets. Dry the chain using compressed air or absorbent material and apply SHELL Advance Chain or Advance Teflon Chain on each link. Important Using non-specific lubricants may lead to severe damage to chain, front and rear sprocket.
Note Never touch the transparent body of the new bulb with your fingers or it will blacken resulting in reduced bulb brilliancy. Insert the locating pegs of the bulb base into their seats to obtain correct alignment; hook the clip (3) to the headlamp holders. Reconnect the cables. E To change the parking light bulb, withdraw the bulb holder (4, fig. 46). The bulb is of the bayonet-type: press and rotate anti-clockwise to remove. Fit the spare bulb by pressing and turning clockwise until it clicks.

A 1 Stop light (fig. 48) To replace the stop and parking light bulb, unscrew the two screws (1) that secure the glass (2). Remove the glass.
E Headlamp alignment (fig. 49) When checking headlamp alignment, put the motorcycle upright. Tyres should be inflated at the correct pressure and one person should be sitting astride the motorcycle, keeping it at right angles to its longitudinal axis and opposite a wall or a screen, 10 meters apart from it. Then draw a horizontal line dictated by headlamp center and a vertical one in line with the longitudinal axis of motorcycle. If possible, perform this check in dim light.
Tyres Front pressure 2.1 bar - 2.3 Kg/sq cm Rear pressure: 2.2 bar - 2.4 Kg/sq cm 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. 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.
Minimum tread depth Measure tread depth (S, fig. 51) at the point where tread is most worn down. It should not be less than 2 mm and anyway not below the legal limit. E Important Visually inspect the tyres at regular intervals for detecting cracks or cuts, on the side walls especially, 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. fig.
Checking engine oil level (fig. 52) Engine oil level can be checked through the sight glass (1) provided on the clutch cover. When checking oil level, the motorcycle should be upright and the engine warm. Allow a few minutes for oil to settle to a steady level after stopping the engine. Oil level should be between the marks near the sight glass. Top up oil level with SHELL Advance Ultra 4, if low. Undo the filler plug (2) and top up to correct level. Refit the plug.
E Cleaning and replacing the spark plugs (fig. 53) 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 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.
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. 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.
E 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; remove the drain plug and seal and drain all fuel from 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; disconnect and remove the battery.

made except idle speed adjustments with the throttle stop screw. The Exhaust Emission Control System is separate from the crankcase emission control system. USA E 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 combustion chamber through the air cleaner and the throttle body.
When the roadway is wet, rely more on the throttle to control vehicle speed and less on the front and rear brakes. The throttle should also be used judiciously to avoid skidding the rear wheel from too rapid acceleration or deceleration. On rough roads, exercise caution, slow down, and grip the fuel tank with your knees for better stability. When quick acceleration is necessary as in passing, shift to a lower gear to obtain the necessary power. Do not down shift at too high an r.p.m.
USA E Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions. Refuell in a well ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks when refuelling or servicing the fuel system. Always close the fuel petcock when the engine is not running to prevent flooding of the throttle body. Do not overfill fuel tank (see instructions page 38). Motorcycle exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas.
