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.
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. E Important When the side panniers are fitted, it is recommended to never exceed 120 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.

Pull the seat backwards to slide it off its front holders (1). On the rear end of the compartment underneath the seat, there is the helmet fastening cable (2) (see page 63). Insert the cable into the helmet and insert the ends of the cable into one of the two hooks (3). Leave the helmet hanging outside (fig. 30) and refit the seat.
Anti-theft padlock (fig. 31) The anti-theft padlock (1) is stored under the seat. Remove strap (2) to take padlock out. Use the padlock in addition to the steering lock when parking your motorcycle in unsafe areas. E Warning Using padlocks or other locks designed to prevent motorcycle motion, such as brake disc locks, rear sprocket locks, and so on is dangerous and may impair motorcycle operation and affect the safety of rider and passenger. Side stand (fig.
Note Check for proper operation of the stand mechanism (two springs, one into the other) and the safety sensor (2) at regular intervals. Note It is possible to start the engine with side stand down and the gearbox in neutral. When starting the bike with a gear engaged, pull the clutch lever (in this case the side stand must be up). Lifting handgrip A handgrip (1, fig.
Centre stand Always use the centre stand (1, fig. 34) 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. 35) with your right hand. Push down on the thrust arm (3) of the centre stand until it touches the ground.
Rear view mirrors (fig. 36) 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. This adjustment is done using the outer adjusters: 1) (fig. 37) to adjust rebound damping; 2) (fig. 37) to adjust inner springs preload; 3) (fig. 38.1-38.2) 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. 38.1-38.2), insert a screwdriver into the passing hole on the wheel shaft 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. adjuster (2) with a 22-mm hexagon wrench. Height A (fig. 37) determines preload and may vary from 25 to 10 mm. Factory setting is 16 mm. E Important Adjust both fork legs to same settings. 3 fig. 38.1 ST4s ABS 3 fig. 38.
E Rear shock absorber adjusters The rear shock absorber has outer adjusters that enable you to adjust your motorcycle to the load. The adjuster (1, fig. 39) located on the rear right hand side - at the control unit - sets rebound damping. The adjuster (2, fig. 40) 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.
E Changing motorcycle track alignment (fig. 41-4243) Motorcycle track alignment is the result of tests carried out under different riding conditions by our technical staff. Modifying factory setting is a very delicate operation, which may lead to serious damages if carried out by unskilled people. Before changing standard setting, measure the reference value (H, fig. 41). H The rider can modify track alignment according to his/her needs by changing working position of the shock absorber.
UNIBALL articulated head (A) maximum extension is 5 threadings, i.e. 7.5 mm (B). B E A fig.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE Running-in recommendations E Max. rotation speed (fig. 44) Rotation speed for running-in period and during standard use (rpm) 1) up to 1000 km; 2) from 1000 to 2500 km; 3) after 2500 km. Up to 1000 km During the first 1000 km, keep an eye on the rev counter. It should never exceed 6000 rpm. During the first hours of riding, it is advisable to run the engine at varying load and rpm, though still within recommended limit.
Important During the whole running-in period, the maintenance and service rules recommended in the Warranty Card 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 Holding S.p.A. from any liability whatsoever for resulting engine damage or shorter engine life. 1.000 ÷ 2.500 Km 1 0 After 2500 km After running-in, never exceed 10000 rpm under standard conditions of use.
Pre-ride checks Warning Failure to carry out these checks before riding, may lead to motorcycle damage and injury to rider and passenger. E Before riding, perform a thorough check-up on your bike as follows: Fuel level in the tank Check fuel level in the tank. Fill tank if needed (page 62). Engine oil level Check oil level in the sump through the sight glass. Top up if needed (page 88). Brake and clutch fluid Check fluid level in the relevant reservoirs.
ABS system (ST4s ABS) Ensure that front (1) and rear phonic wheel (2) are clean. 1 Warning Clogged reading slots would compromise system proper operation. It is recommended to disable ABS system in case of muddy road surface because under this condition the system might be subject to sudden failure. E fig. 45 2 fig.
Starting the engine Note Follow the “High ambient temperature” procedure to start the engine when it is warm. ON Warning Before starting the engine, become familiar with the controls you will need to use when riding. E Regular ambient temperature (10 °C/50 °F to 35 °C/ 95 °F): 1) Move the ignition key to ON (fig. 47). Make sure both the green light N and the red light on the instrument panel come on. Important The oil pressure light should go out a few seconds after the engine has started (page 15).
2) Move the cold start lever to the B position (fig. 48). A 3) Check that the stop switch (1, fig. 49) is positioned to (RUN), then press the starter button (2). Let the engine start without using the throttle control. Important Never operate the electric start button more than 5 seconds at a time. If needed, allow 10 seconds before attempting to restart the engine. B E 4) Move the cold start lever to the vertical position (A) to let engine idle at about 1400-1500 rpm. fig.
High ambient temperature (over 35 °C/95 °F): Follow the same procedure, however, do not use the cold start device. Cold ambient temperature (below 10 °C/50 °F): Follow the procedure for “Regular ambient temperature”, however allow 5 minutes for the engine to warm up (see step 5).
Moving off 1) Disengage the clutch squeezing the control lever. 2) Push down on gear change lever sharply with the tip of your foot to engage the first gear. 3) Speed up engine, by turning the throttle twistgrip and slightly releasing the clutch lever at the same time. The motorcycle will start moving off. 4) Let go of clutch lever and speed up. 5) To shift up, close the throttle to slow down engine, disengage the clutch, lift the gear change lever and let go of clutch lever.
E Pressure is raised back up immediately and the control unit keeps controlling the brake until the risk of a lockup disappears. Normally, the rider will perceive ABS operation as a harder feel or a pulsation of the brake lever and pedal. The front and rear brakes use separate control systems, meaning that they operate independently. Likewise, the ABS is not an integrated braking system and does not control both the front and rear brake at the same time.
Stopping the motorcycle If you let go of the throttle twistgrip, the motorcycle will slow down gradually and smoothly. Then, shift down releasing the clutch, and finally change from first to neutral. Apply brakes and you will bring the motorcycle to a complete stop. To switch the engine off, simply turn the key to OFF (fig. 50). Important Never leave the key in the ON position when engine is stopped, or this will damage the electric components. E fig.
Important Do not leave the key turned to P for long periods or the battery will run down. Never leave the ignition key in the switch when you are leaving your bike unattended. E 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.). Refueling Never overfill the tank when refueling.

Unscrew the 8 fastening screws (3, fig. 62-63) that hold the headlamp fairing to the side body panels. Remove the fairing sliding it off the headlamp. E 3 3 Important When refitting, it is necessary to loosen the screws of both rear-view mirror mounts and then fit the headlight fairing. Make sure direction indicator cables are not squeezed and fit rear-view mirrors with the relevant gasket, secure them with screws (1, fig. 60). Set the headlight fairing so that its top edge is horizontal.
Removing the upper and lower body panels together Unscrew the eight fastening screws (3, fig. 62-63) that hold headlamp fairing to the body panels. Unscrew the front fastening screw (1, fig. 65) that holds each body panel to the front baffle. Unscrew the rear fastening screw (2, fig. 65) holding each body panel to the frame. Unscrew the two lower fastening screws (3, fig. 65) holding the body panels to the central air conveyor. Unscrew one of the two screws (4, fig. 65) joining the body panels together.
Lifting the fuel tank Unscrew the 2 screws (1, fig. 66) that hold the cover to the tank support. Remove the cover sliding it off the ignition switch. Pull and lift the clip (2, fig. 67) off the tank support. Lift the tank and unhook the support rod (3, fig. 68). 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. 69) of the cover on both sides of the air box, then remove cover (2). Remove the filter (3, fig. 70) 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. 71). Top up if the level is too low. Remove the r.h. side guard of the instrument panel. Unscrew the filler (1, fig. 72) 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. 73). 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. 74) 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. 74) 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. 74 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. 76) provided on the throttle control. 1,5 ÷ 2 mm 1 E fig.
Charging the battery (fig. 77) Before charging the battery, it is best to remove it from the motorcycle. Remove the r.h. side fairing (see page 69), 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 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. 78) of 32 mm. Chain tension is adjusted as follows: Slacken the nut (1, fig. 78) of the wheel shaft, 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.

Refit the glass and tighten the screws (1). fig.
Beam setting (fig. 89) 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.
E Tyres Tyre pressure Rider + luggage Front: 2.1 bar - 2.3 Kg/sq cm Rear: 2.2 bar - 2.4 Kg/sq cm 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. Failure to heed this warning may lead to sudden tyre bursting and to serious danger to rider and passenger. Tyre pressure 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. 91) at the point where tread is most worn down. It should not be less than 2 mm and anyway not below the legal limit. 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. E fig.

Cleaning and replacing the spark plugs (fig. 93) 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. E Important Do not wash your motorcycle right after use. When the motorcycle is still hot, water drops will evaporate faster and spot hot surfaces. Never clean the motorcycle using hot or high-pressure water jets.
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 charg

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 62). Motorcycle exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas.
