Foreword
Safety guidelines
We would like to welcome you among Ducati
enthusiasts, and congratulate you on your excellent
choice of motorcycle. We think you will ride your
Ducati motorcycle for long journeys as well as short
daily trips. Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A. wishes you
smooth and enjoyable riding.
Your motorcycle is the result of Ducati Motor Holding
S.p.A.'s on-going research and development efforts.
It is important that you preserve its quality standard
by strictly observing the maintenance plan and using
genuine spare parts. This manual provides
instructions on minor maintenance operations. Major
maintenance operations are described in the Service
Manual available to Ducati Authorised Service
Centres.
In your own interest, for your safety and in order to
guarantee product reliability, you are strongly advised
to refer to our authorised Dealers and Service Centres
for any operations listed in the scheduled
maintenance chart, see page 220.
Our highly skilled staff have access to special
implements and appropriate equipment 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.
The warranty does not apply to motorcycles used in
racing competitions.
Tampering with or altering any components, even
partially, will make the warranty null and void
effective immediately. Improper or poor
maintenance, using other than original spare parts or
parts not expressly approved by Ducati may invalidate
your warranty rights and lead to damage or loss of
performance.
Your safety and that of other road users are very
important. Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A. recommends
that you ride responsibly.
Before using your motorcycle for the first time, read
this entire manual carefully and closely follow the
guidelines outlined in it. The manual provides full
information on proper motorcycle operation and
7
maintenance. In case of any doubts, please call a
Dealer or Authorised Service Centre.
Safety alerts
To alert you to potential hazards that could potentially
harm you or other persons, the following safety alerts
have been used:
- Safety labels on motorcycle;
- Safety messages preceded by a warning symbol
and the word WARNING or IMPORTANT.
Warning
Failure to comply with these instructions may
put you at risk and result in severe injury to rider or
other persons or even death.
Important
Possibility of damaging the motorcycle and/or
its components.
Note
Additional information concerning the job being
carried out.
The terms RIGHT and LEFT refer to the motorcycle
viewed from the riding position.
8
Permitted use
This motorcycle must be ridden on asphalt or on flat
and even surfaces, only. This motorcycle may not be
used for riding on dirt trails or for off-road riding.
Warning
Off-road riding may lead to loss of control and
result in vehicle damage, personal injuries or even
death.
Warning
This motorcycle may not be used to tow any
trailers or with a side-car attached; this can lead to
loss of control and result in an accident.
This motorcycle carries the rider and can carry a
passenger.
Warning
The total weight of the motorcycle in running
order including rider, passenger, luggage and
additional accessories should not exceed 400kg/
882lb.
9
Rider's obligations
All riders must hold a valid licence.
Warning
Riding without a licence is illegal and is
prosecuted by law. Always make sure you have your
licence with you when riding. Do not let
inexperienced riders or persons without a valid
licence use your motorcycle.
Do not ride under the influence of alcohol and/or
drugs.
Warning
Riding under the influence of alcohol and/or
drugs is illegal and is prosecuted by law.
Do not take prescription or other drugs before riding
unless you have consulted your doctor about their
side effects.
Warning
Some medications and drugs may cause
drowsiness or other effects that slow down reaction
time and the rider's ability to control the motorcycle,
possibly leading to an accident.
Some states require vehicle insurance.
Warning
Check your state laws. Obtain insurance
coverage and keep your insurance document secure
with the other motorcycle documents.
To protect rider and passenger safety, some states
mandate the use of a certified helmet.
Warning
Check your state laws. Riding without a helmet
may be punishable by law.
Warning
Riders without helmets are more likely to suffer
severe bodily injury or die if they are in an accident.
10
Warning
Check that your helmet complies with safety
specifications, permits good vision, is the right size
for your head, and carries a certification label
indicating that it conforms to the standards in force in
your state. Road traffic laws differ from state to state.
Learn about traffic laws in your state before riding and
always obey them.
Rider training
Accidents are frequently due to inexperience. Driving
a motorcycle is different from driving other vehicles
and requires specific riding and braking techniques.
Warning
Poor training or improper operation of the
vehicle can lead to loss of control, death or severe
damage.
Riding gear
Riding gear is very important for safety. Unlike cars,
a motorcycle offers no impact protection in an
accident.
Proper riding gear includes helmet, eye protection,
gloves, boots, long sleeve jacket and long pants.
- The helmet must have the requirements listed in
page 10; if your helmet does not have a visor, use
suitable eye wear;
- Use five-finger gloves made from leather or
abrasion-resistant material;
- Riding boots or shoes must have non-slip soles
and offer ankle protection;
- Jacket, pants or riding suit must be made from
leather or abrasion-resistant material and have
high-visibility colours and inserts.
Important
Never wear loose clothing, items or accessories
that may become tangled in motorcycle parts.
Important
For your safety, always wear suitable protective
gear, regardless of season and weather.
Important
Have your passenger wear proper protective
clothing.
11
Best practices for motorcycle safety
These few simple operations are critical to people
safety and to preserving the full performance of your
motorcycle. Never forget to perform them before,
while and after riding.
Important
Closely follow the indications provided at
chapter "Riding the motorcycle" during the running-in
period.
Failure to follow these instructions releases Ducati
Motor Holding S.p.A. from any liability whatsoever for
any engine damage or shorter engine life.
Warning
Before riding your motorcycle, become familiar
with the controls you will need to use when riding.
Perform the checks recommended in this manual
before each ride (see page page 166).
Warning
Failure to carry out these checks before riding
may lead to motorcycle damage and injury to rider
and/or passenger.
Warning
Start the engine outdoors or in a well ventilated
area. The engine should never be started or run
indoors.
Exhaust gases are poisonous and may lead to loss of
consciousness or even death within a short time.
Use proper body position while riding and ensure your
passenger does the same.
Important
Rider must hold the handlebar with both hands
at ALL TIMES while riding.
Important
Both rider and passenger should keep their feet
on the footpegs when the motorcycle is in motion.
Important
The passenger should always hold on to the
grab handle located inside the tail guard.
Refer to paragraph "Grab Handle" on page 166.
12
Important
Be very careful when tackling road junctions, or
when riding in areas near exits from private grounds,
car parks or on slip roads to access motorways.
Important
Be sure you are clearly visible and do not ride
within the blind spot of vehicles ahead.
Important
ALWAYS signal your intention to turn or pull to
the next lane in good time using the suitable turn
indicators.
Important
Park your motorcycle where no one is likely to
knock against it, and use the side stand. Never park
on uneven or soft ground, or your motorcycle may fall
over.
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.
Warning
Engine, exhaust pipes and silencers stay hot
long after the engine is switched off; pay particular
attention not to touch the exhaust system with any
body part and do not park the vehicle next to
flammable material (wood, leaves etc.).
Warning
Always remove the key when you leave your
motorcycle unattended and make sure it is not
accessible to persons not authorised to use the
motorcycle.
13
Refuelling
Refuel outdoors with the engine turned off.
Do not smoke or use open flames when refuelling.
Be extremely careful not to spill fuel on the engine or
on the exhaust pipe.
Never fill the tank completely. Fuel should never be
touching the rim of filler recess.
While refuelling, avoid inhaling fuel vapours and avoid
contact with eyes, skin or clothing.
Warning
The motorcycle is only compatible with fuel
having a maximum content of ethanol of 10% (E10).
Using fuel with ethanol content over 10% is
forbidden. Using it could result in severe damage of
the engine and motorcycle components. Using fuel
with ethanol content over 10% will make the
warranty null and void.
Warning
In the event of illness after prolonged breathing
of fuel vapours, stay outdoors and seek medical
advice. In the event of contact with eyes, flush with
plenty of water. After contact with skin, wash
immediately with water and soap.
Warning
Fuel is highly inflammable. Clothing with spilled
fuel on it should be removed as possible.
14
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.
Warning
Do not exceed the total permitted weight for the
motorcycle and pay attention to information provided
below regarding load capacity.
Information about carrying capacity
Important
Arrange your luggage or heavy accessories in
the lowest possible position and close to motorcycle
centre.
Important
Never fix bulky or heavy objects to the
handlebar or to the front mudguard as this would
affect stability and cause danger.
Important
Be sure to secure the luggage to the supports
provided on the motorcycle as firmly as possible.
Improperly secured luggage may affect stability.
Important
Do not insert any objects you may need to carry
into the gaps of the frame as these may foul moving
parts.
Warning
Make sure the tyres are inflated to the proper
pressure and that they are in good condition.
Refer to paragraph "Tyres" on page 212.
15
Dangerous products - warnings
Used engine oil
Warning
Prolonged or repeated contact with used engine
oil may cause skin cancer. If working with engine oil
on a daily basis, we recommend washing your hands
thoroughly with soap immediately afterwards. Keep
away from children.
Brake lining debris
Never attempt to clean the brake assembly using
compressed air or a dry brush.
Brake fluid
Warning
Spilling brake fluid onto plastic, rubber or
painted parts of the motorcycle may cause damages.
Protect these parts with a clean shop cloth before
proceeding to service the system. Keep away from
children.
Warning
The brake fluid used in the brake system is
corrosive. In the event of accidental contact with eyes
or skin, wash the affected area with abundant running
water.
Coolant
Engine coolant contains ethylene glycol, which may
ignite under particular conditions, producing invisible
flames. Although the flames from burning ethylene
glycol are not visible, they are still capable of causing
severe burns.
Warning
Take care not to spill engine coolant on the
exhaust system or engine parts.
These parts may be hot and ignite the coolant, which
will subsequently burn with invisible flames. Coolant
(ethylene glycol) is an irritant and is poisonous when
ingested. Keep away from children. Never remove
the radiator cap when the engine is hot. The coolant
will be scalding hot and is under high pressure.
16
The cooling fan operates automatically: keep hands
well clear and make sure your clothing does not snag
on the fan.
Battery
Warning
The battery gives off explosive gases; never
cause sparks or allow naked flames and cigarettes
near the battery. When charging the battery, ensure
that the working area is properly ventilated.
