GENERAL E Warranty In your own interest, and in order to guarantee product reliability, you are strongly advised to refer to our authorized Dealers and workshops for any servicing requiring particular technical expertise. Our highly skilled staff have access to the implements 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”.
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.
E 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. When the side panniers are fitted, never exceed 130 Km/h. Further reduce speed if tyres are worn down and when riding on poor road surface or with poor visibility.
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.
Identification data All Ducati motorcycles have two identification numbers, for frame (fig. 2) and engine (fig. 3). Frame number Engine number E Note These numbers identify the motorcycle model and should always be indicated when ordering spare parts. fig. 2 fig.

When there is only 1 full bar left on, it will start blinking while the reserve light (4, fig. 5) will come on. 8.2) Coolant temperature indicator . Shows engine coolant temperature. When the engine is cold, the flashing message LO is displayed. Engine temperature is displayed from 45 °C (113 °F) and over. If engine maximum temperature (120 °C/248 °F) is reached, the indicator will start blinking.
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 to start the engine in the event of an emergency; B) (fig. 9) the mechanical code for the keys to be reported to the DUCATI Service network when you are ordering any duplicate keys. E Warning Keep the CODE CARD in a safe place.
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.

E Hold the left handlebar with your left hand and the lifting handgrip (2, fig. 27) with your right hand. Push down on the thrust arm (3) of the centre stand until it touches the ground.
Rear view mirrors (fig. 28) 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 Ducati Dealer or 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. 29) to adjust rebound damping; 2) (fig. 29) to adjust inner springs preload; 3) (fig. 30) 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. 30), 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 hexagon wrench. Height A (fig. 29) determines preload and may vary from 25 to 10 mm. Factory setting is 16 mm. Important Adjust both fork legs to same settings. E 3 fig.
E Shock absorber adjusters The rear shock absorber has outer adjusters that enable you to adjust your motorcycle to the load. The adjuster (1, fig. 31) located on the rear right hand side sets rebound damping. The adjuster (2, fig. 32) 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. STANDARD setting.
Warning The shock absorber is filled with gas under pressure and may cause severe damage if taken apart by unskilled persons. Important When carrying a passenger and luggage, set the rear shock absorber spring to proper preload to improve motorcycle handling and keep safe clearance from the ground. You may find that rebound damping needs adjusting as well.

Unscrew the fastening screw (1, fig. 47) that holds each body panel to the side subframe on the left side or to the expansion reservoir on the right side and the rear screws (2) that hold each of them to the frame bracket. Unscrew the front fastening screw (3, fig. 48) that holds each body panel to the front baffle.
Lifting the fuel tank Unscrew the 2 screws (1, fig. 49) that hold the cover to the tank support. Remove the cover sliding it off the ignition switch. Pull and lift the clip (2, fig. 50) off the tank support. Lift the tank and unhook the support rod (3, fig. 51). 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.
Cleaning and changing air filters Replace air filter at the required intervals shown in the routine maintenance chart (see Warranty Card). The air box is accessible after lifting the fuel tank. Undo the clips (1, fig. 52) of the cover on both sides of the air box, then remove cover (2). Remove the filter (3, fig. 53) 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. 54). Top up if the level is too low. Remove the r.h. side guard of the instrument panel. Unscrew the filler (1, fig. 55) 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.
Checking brake and clutch fluid level Fluid level should never fall below the MIN mark on each reservoir (fig. 56). 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.
Checking brake pads for wear Front brake (fig. 57) 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 MIN 1 mm Rear brake (fig. 57) The friction material on each pad should be at least 1 mm thick. Important Have the brake pads replaced at a Ducati Dealer or Authorized Workshop. 56 fig.
Lubricating cables and joints The condition of the outer sheaths of the throttle and cold start 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 ends of the Bowden cables with SHELL Advance Grease or Retinax LX2 at regular intervals.
Throttle cable adjustment The throttle twistgrip must have a free play of 1.5 - 2 mm measured at the edge of the twistgrip, at all positions of the handlebars. If it needs adjusting, use the suitable adjuster (1, fig. 59) provided on the throttle control. 1,5 ÷ 2 mm 1 E fig.
Charging the battery (fig. 60) Before charging the battery, it is best to remove it from the motorcycle. Remove the r.h. side fairing (see page 48), undo the screw (1) and remove the upper bracket. Always disconnect the black negative terminal (-) first, and then the red positive terminal (+). Warning Keep the battery out of the reach of children. Charge the battery at 1 A for 5-10 hours. Warning Batteries develop explosive gases: keep it away from heat sources.
E Chain tensioning Turn the rear wheel slowly until you find the position where chain tension is tightest. Put motorcycle on the centre stand and push the chain up pressing with a finger at mid-length of swingarm. The lower stretch of chain must have a slack (fig. 61) of 32 mm. Chain tension is adjusted as follows: Slacken the nut (1, fig. 62) of the wheel spindle, tighten (turn clockwise) or slacken the screw (2) on either side of the swingarm equally 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 any solvent other than those specific for O-ring chains or washed using steam or water jets. After cleaning, blow the chain dry or dry it using absorbent material and apply SHELL Advance Chain or Advance Teflon Chain on each link.

Be sure to tighten the valve caps securely to avoid leaks when riding. Never use tube type tyres. Failure to heed this warning may lead to sudden tyre bursting and to serious danger to rider and passenger. Rider + passenger + luggage Front: 2.4 bar - 2.5 Kg/sq cm Rear: 2.8 bar - 2.
Minimum tread depth Measure tread depth (S, fig. 76) 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 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. fig.
Checking engine oil level (fig. 77) 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. 78) 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.
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; 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 ch

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 46). Motorcycle exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas.
