Lifting handgrip A handgrip (1, fig. 17) that pivots on the left pillion passenger footpeg is provided to help you place the motorcycle on the centre stand or keep it upright when manoeuvring to park it. Fold out the handgrip. After use, just release it and it will fold back to its rest position. Power outlet A specific power outlet (2, fig.
Centre stand Always use the centre stand (1, fig. 18.1) to support the motorcycle steadily when parked. It is designed to support the motorcycle even when carrying the maximum load allowed. 1 Warning Before putting the motorcycle on the centre stand, make sure the bearing surface is hard and flat. E Hold the left handlebar with your left hand and the lifting handgrip (2, fig. 18.2) with your right hand. Push down on the thrust arm (3) of the centre stand until it touches the ground.
Rear view mirrors (fig. 19) 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. A Important If either of the mirror parts comes off, have the mirror repaired or replaced by a Dealer or at an authorized workshop.
Front fork adjusters The front fork has rebound and compression damping adjusters. 1 A This adjustment is done using the outer adjusters: 1) (fig. 20.1) to adjust rebound damping; 2) (fig. 20.1) to adjust inner springs preload; 3) (fig. 20.2) to adjust compression damping. E Turn the adjuster (1) on fork leg top with a flat screwdriver to adjust rebound damping. To reach the adjuster (3, fig. 20.2), insert a screwdriver into the passing hole on the wheel spindle at fork leg axis.
STANDARD factory setting is as follows: compression: 12 clicks; rebound: 11 clicks. The setting range is 14 clicks (both for rebound and compression). The 14th click gives the softest damping. To change the preload of the spring inside each fork leg turn the hex. adjusting nut (2) with a 22-mm/0.87-in. hexagon wrench. Height A (fig. 20.1) determines preload and may vary from 25/0.98 to 10 mm/0.39 in. Factory setting is 16 mm/0.63 in. 3 E Important Adjust both fork legs to same settings. fig. 20.
E Shock absorber adjusters The shock absorber has outer adjusters that enable you to adjust your motorcycle to the load. The adjuster (1, fig. 21.1) located on the rear right hand side near the control unit controls rebound damping. The adjuster (2, fig. 21.2) on the shock absorber expansion reservoir controls compression damping. Turning the adjusters (1 and 2) clockwise gives harder damping H, turning anticlockwise gives softer damping S.
Warning Use a specific pin wrench only to turn the preload adjusting ring nut. Be careful when turning the nut with the wrench, as the pin may slip out of the nut recess and you may hurt your hand hitting motorcycle parts. The shock absorber is filled with gas under pressure and may cause severe damage if taken apart by unskilled persons. 2 When carrying a passenger and a load, set the rear shock absorber spring to proper preload to improve motorcycle handling and keep safe clearance from the ground.
RUNNING-IN RECOMMENDATIONS E Max. rotation speed (fig. 22) Rotation speed for running-in period and during standard use (rpm) 1) up to 1000 km/620 miles; 2) from 1000 to 2500 km/620 to 1550 miles; 3) after 2500 km/1550 miles. Up to 1000 km/620 miles During the first 1000 km/620 miles, keep an eye on the revolution meter. The indicator must not exceed: 5500 rpm (ST2) 6000 rpm (ST4).
Important During the whole running-in period, the maintenance and service rules recommended in this manual should be observed carefully. Have the service inspections performed as recommended in the Warranty Card. Failure to comply with these rules will release Ducati Motor S.p.A. from any liability whatsoever for resulting engine damage or shorter engine life. After 2500 km/1550 miles After running-in, never exceed the following values during the motorcycle standard use: 9000 rpm (ST2); 10000 rpm (ST4).

Unscrew the front fastening screw (3, fig. 31.2) that holds each body panel to the front baffle.
Lifting the fuel tank Unscrew the 2 screws (1, fig. 32.1) that hold the cover to the tank support. Remove the cover sliding it off the ignition switch. Pull and lift the clip (2, fig. 32.2) off the tank support. Lift the tank and unhook the support rod (3, fig. 32.3). Rest the tank onto the rod as shown in the figure. When you are finished, reverse the above procedure to refit all the parts you have removed. E Warning Make sure the fuel in the tank is less than 5 litres/1.32 US Gall.
Cleaning and changing air filters Replace air filter at the required intervals shown in the routine maintenance chart. The air box is accessible after lifting the fuel tank. Undo the clips (1, fig. 33.1) of the cover on both sides of the air box, then remove cover (2). Remove the filter (3, fig. 33.2) and fit a new one. Important A dirty filter will reduce air intake, increase fuel consumption, reduce engine power, and foul the spark plugs.
E Checking the coolant level Check the coolant level in the expansion tank, on the RH side of the motorcycle. The coolant level must be between the MAX and MIN marks (fig. 34.1). Top up if the level is too low. Remove the r.h. side guard of the instrument panel. Unscrew the filler (1, fig. 34.2) and add a mixture consisting of water and antifreeze SHELL Advance Coolant or Glycoshell (35-40% of the volume) up to MAX mark. Refit the filler (1) and reassemble all removed parts. fig. 34.
Checking brake and clutch fluid level Fluid level should never fall below the MIN mark on each reservoir (fig. 35). 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 by a Ducati Dealer or authorized workshop. Important It is recommended all brake and clutch tubes be changed every four years.
Checking brake pads for wear Front brake (fig. 36) To facilitate inspection without removing the pads from the calipers, brake pads have a wear mark. If the grooves in the friction material are still visible, the pad is still in good condition. E Rear brake (fig. 36) The friction material on each pad should be at least 1 mm/0.039 in. thick. Important Have the brake pads replaced at a Ducati Dealer or authorized workshop.
Throttle cable adjustment The throttle twistgrip must have a free play of 1.5 - 2 mm/0.059-0.078 in. measured at the edge of the twistgrip, at all positions of the handlebars. If it needs adjusting, use the suitable adjuster (1, fig. 38) provided on the throttle control. 1 E 2 fig. 37.1 1,5 ÷ 2 mm 3 fig. 37.2 1 fig.
E Checking battery electrolyte level (fig. 39) Remove the r.h. side fairing (page 45) to check battery liquid level. Battery liquid level must be maintained between the maximum UPPER LEVEL and minimum LOWER LEVEL marks on battery front. If battery liquid level is too low, remove the caps (1) and top up carefully with distilled water up to the upper level line, using a small syringe or a plastic funnel. When adding distilled water, make sure the breather tube (2) is connected to battery breather outlet.
Charge the battery at 1.5 A. When battery is charged, check electrolyte level in each cell. If it has dropped, top up with distilled water until reaching the upper level. Refit the caps (1) on the cells and reinstall the battery on its mount and secure the upper bracket with the screw (3). Reconnect the breather tube (2). Connect the terminals. Use some grease on the fastening screws to improve conductive capacity. Warning Keep the battery out of the reach of children.

E Beam setting (fig. 45.1) When checking beam setting, 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. Place the motorcycle 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. Switch on the low beam.
Tyres Tyre pressure Rider + luggage Front: 2.1 bar - 2.3 Kg/sq cm Rear: 2.2 bar - 2.4 Kg/sq cm LOWER Rider + passenger + luggage Front: 2.4 bar - 2.5 Kg/sq cm Rear: 2.8 bar - 2.9 Kg/sq cm UPPER 1 fig. 45.2 E 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. 2 Important Check and set tyre pressure when tyres are cold.
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. E Warning A tyre must be replaced when punctured. Replace tyres with recommended standard tyres only. Be sure to tighten the valve caps securely to avoid leaks when riding. Never use tube type tyres.
Checking engine oil level (fig. 47) 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.
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.
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 faster and spot hot surfaces. Do not use high pressure water jets.

Reporting of safety defects If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying Ducati North America. If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign.
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 37). Motorcycle exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas.
