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. Wear proper clothing, with no loose items or accessories that may become tangled in the controls or limit your zone of vision. Never start or run the engine indoors. Exhaust gases are poisonous and may lead to loss of consciousness or even death within a short time. Both rider and pillion passenger should keep their feet on the footpegs when the motorcycle is in motion. Always hold handlebar firmly with both hands so you will be ready for sudden changes of direction or in the road surface. The pillion passenger should always hold on to the suitable grab handle at the rear seat with both hands. Ride within the law and observe national and local rules. Always respect speed limits where these are posted. However, always adjust your speed to the visibility, road and traffic conditions you are riding in. Always signal your intention to turn or pull to the next lane in good time using the suitable turn indicators. Be sure you are clearly visible and do not ride within the blind spot of vehicles ahead. Be very careful when tackling road junctions, or when riding in the areas near exits from private grounds, car parks or on slip roads to access motorways. Always turn off the engine when refuelling. Be extremely careful not to spill fuel on the engine or on the exhaust pipe when refuelling. Do not smoke when refuelling. While refuelling, you may inhale noxious fuel vapours. Should any fuel drops be spilled on your skin or clothing, immediately wash with soap and water and change your clothing. Always remove the key when you leave your motorcycle unattended. The engine, exhaust pipes, and mufflers stay hot for a long time. 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.). Park your motorcycle where no one is likely to hit it and use the side stand. Never park on uneven or soft ground or your motorcycle may fall over. 7 E 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. Information about carrying capacity The total weight of the motorcycle in running order including rider, pillion passenger, luggage and additional accessories should not exceed 410 Kg. E 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 mudguard 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. Make sure the tyres are inflated to the proper pressure indicated at page 75 and that they are in good condition. 8 Identification data All Ducati motorcycles have two identification numbers, for frame (fig. 1) and engine (fig. 2).

In this case the instrument panel automatically turns on or off the backlighting, thanks to some sensors measuring light condition and ambient temperature. Pilot lights brightness function This function is active only if the parking light or the low/ high beam is on. Pilot lights brightness is automatically adjusted by the instrument panel according to the outer light measured. Auto-off headlight function This function allows you to reduce current consumption from the battery, by automatically managing headlight switching-off. The device is enabled in two instances: - If the key is turned from OFF to ON and no attempt is made to start the engine. After 60 seconds, the headlight is switched off and will be turned on only upon the following Key-ON. - After having used the bike, with headlight on, if the engine is stopped via the ENGINE KILL switch (2, fig. 19), after 60 seconds from engine stop, the headlight is turned off and will be turned on upon the following engine start-up. Note While starting the engine, the system switches off the headlight and turns it back on again after engine has started, or anyway when the button (3, fig. 19) is released. 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. The modulated signal acts as a "password" and tells the CPU that an "authorised" ignition key is being used to start up the engine. When the CPU recognises the signal, it enables engine start-up. E 21 Keys (fig. 13) The Owner receives a set of keys comprising: - 1 RED key (A) - 2 BLACK keys (B) Warning Red key has a rubber cover for preserving it in perfect conditions and avoiding contact with other keys. Never remove this protection unless really needed. B A E The black keys are regular ignition keys and are used to: - start up the engine - open the fuel tank filler plug - open the seat lock - release the pillion seat lock. The red key performs the same functions as the black keys, and is also used to wipe off and re-program other black keys, if needed. Warning Any important shock might damage the electronic components fitted into the key. 1 fig. 13 Note The three keys have a small plate (1) attached that reports their identification number. Warning Keep the keys in different places. Store the plate (1) and the red key in a safe place. It is also recommended to use always the same black key to start the bike. 22 Code card A CODE CARD (fig. 14) is supplied together with the keys, it indicates the electronic code (A, fig. 15) to be used in case the engine is disabled and will not start up after the key-ON. Warning Keep the CODE CARD in a safe place. However, it is advisable to keep the electronic code printed on the CODE CARD handy when you ride your motorcycle, in case it is necessary to remove engine block through the procedure that uses the throttle twistgrip (see page 24). In case of faulty immobilizer system, this procedure gives the chance to disable "engine block" function -signalled by the orange EOBD warning light (5, fig. 5). E fig. 14 A fig. 15 23 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 printed on the CODE CARD, open full throttle and keep the position for 2 seconds, then release. In this way the input of one figure is acknowledged, EOBD pilot light comes on and stays on for 4 seconds. Carry out the same procedure for the following figures of the code. Failure to do so will cause the EOBD pilot light to flash 20 times, then it will stay on. This means that the procedure has been aborted. It will be necessary to turn the key to OFF and restart from point 1. 4) Repeat operations described in point 3 up to the last figure of the code. 5) Release the throttle twistgrip, if the code is correct the following two conditions may occur: A) the EOBD warning light shall flash signalling that engine block has been disabled. The warning light turns off after 4 seconds or if engine revolutions go over the limit value of 1000 rpm. B) the IMMO light (3, fig. 4) flashes until engine rpm get above 1000 rpm, or until engine is re-started. 6) If the code is NOT correct, the EOBD warning light and the IMMO light stay on and it is then possible to repeat the procedure, starting from point 2, as many times as necessary (infinite). Note Should the throttle twistgrip be released before the set time, the warning light turns on again. It is then necessary to bring the key to OFF and restart the procedure from point 1. E 24 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 (Key-ON), the following happens: 1) if the CPU recognised the code, the IMMO 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 IMMO light stays on, it means that the code has not been recognised. When this is the case, turn the ignition key back to OFF and then to ON again. If the engine still does not start, try with another black key. If the other key does not work out either, contact the DUCATI Service network. 3) Should the IMMO pilot light still be flashing, it means that an immobilizer system fault was reset (e.g. with the overriding procedure through throttle grip). Important Use only one key during the procedure. Failure to do so might prevent the system from recognizing the code of the key in use. Duplicate keys If you need any additional key, contact the DUCATI Service network with all the keys you have left and your CODE CARD. DUCATI Service will program new keys and re-program your original keys, up to 8 keys in total. You may be asked to identify yourself as the legitimate owner of the motorcycle. Be sure you have any documents you might need to this end ready. The codes of any keys not submitted will be wiped off from the memory to make those keys unserviceable in case they have been lost. Note If you sell your motorcycle, do not forget to give all keys and the CODE CARD to the new owner. E 25 Ignition switch and steering lock (fig. 16) It is located in front of the steering head and has four positions: A) ON: lights and engine on; B) OFF: lights and engine off; C) LOCK: steering is locked; D) P: parking light is ON and steering is locked. Note To move the key to the last two positions, press it down before turning it. Switching to (B), (C) and (D), you will be able to take the key out. Important The motorcycle is equipped with an energy-saving CPU. If the key stays ON for a long period but the ignition button is not pressed within 15 seconds, the CPU will stop operating to avoid current absorption. To restore the system move the key to OFF and then to ON again.

Important Using the clutch properly will avoid damage to transmission parts and spare the engine. Note It is possible to start the engine with side stand fully 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). 28 4 1 Clutch lever (fig. 18) Lever (1) disengages the clutch. It features a dial adjuster (2) for lever distance from the twistgrip on handlebar. To set lever distance from twistgrip, push lever (1) fully forward and turn the dial adjuster (2) to one of its four positions. Remember that position no. 1 gives maximum distance between lever and twistgrip, whereas lever and twistgrip are closest when adjuster is set to position no. 4. When you pull in the lever (1), you will disengage the engine from the gearbox and therefore from the driving wheel. Using the clutch properly is essential to smooth riding, especially when moving off. 3 2 fig. 18 Right switch (fig. 19) 1) Switch, light switch, three positions: - right position = lights off; - centre position = front and rear parking lights, - number plate and instrument panel lights on; - left position = headlight, front and rear parking lights, number plate and instrument panel lights on. Note This device is not fitted on the Australia and Japan versions. 2) Switch for engine stop, two positions: - position (RUN) = run. - position (OFF) = stop. Warning This switch is mainly intended for use in emergency cases when you need to stop the engine quickly. After stopping the engine, return the switch to the position to enable starting. 3) Button = engine start. Throttle twistgrip (fig. 19) The twistgrip (4) on the right handlebar opens the throttles. When released, it will spring back to the initial position (idling speed). E 2 4 3 1 fig. 19 29 2 E To adjust, keep lever (1) completely extended, turn knob (2) and set it to one of the four available positions.

Push the door at the catches to close it, until hearing a click. Remove the key. OPEN 1 E fig. 28 fig. 28a 37 Side stand (fig. 29) Important Before lowering the side stand, make sure that the bearing surface is hard and flat. Do not park on soft or pebbled ground or on asphalt melt by the sun heat and similar or the motorcycle may fall over. When parking in downhill road tracts, always park the motorcycle with its rear wheel facing downhill. To pull down the side stand, hold the motorcycle handlebar with both hands and push down on the thrust arm (1) with your foot until it is fully extended. Tilt the motorcycle to the left until the side stand end is resting on the ground. Warning Do not sit on the motorcycle when it is supported on the side stand. To move the side stand to its rest position (horizontal position), tilt the motorcycle to the right and, at the same time, lift the thrust arm (1) with your foot. Check for proper operation of the stand mechanism (two springs, one into the other) and the safety sensor (2) which communicates the stand position to the engine CPU at regular intervals. A 3A fuse fitted on the side of the battery protects this system (see page 89). Note It is possible to start the engine with the side stand down, if the gearbox is in neutral position. E 1 2 fig. 29 38 Front fork adjusters The front fork used has rebound and compression damping adjuster as well as a spring preload adjuster. This adjustment is done using the outer adjusters: 1) to adjust rebound damping (fig.30); 2) to adjust inner springs preload (fig. 30); 3) to adjust compression damping (fig. 31). Make sure the vehicle is stable, on the side stand. Use a flat screwdriver to turn adjuster (1), at the top of every fork leg, and change rebound damping. Use a flat screwdriver to turn adjuster (3), at the back of wheel shaft pinch bolts, and change compression damping. Adjuster (1) has click settings, every click corresponds to a different damping setting. Adjuster (3) is a screw so damping variation is continuous. Completely tighten the adjuster to reach "0" position, corresponding to max damping. Starting from this position, turn counter clockwise and count the clicks - which correspond to position "1", "2", etc. - or measure the angular rotation of the adjuster. 1 2 2 1 E fig. 30 S 3 H fig. 31 39 STANDARD factory setting is as follows: compression: 1 turn; rebound: 11 clicks. 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. 31a) determines preload and may vary from 25 to 10 mm. Factory setting is 20 mm. 2 2 E Important Adjust both fork legs to same settings. A fig. 31a 40 Rear shock absorber adjusters (fig. 32 and 32a) The rear shock absorber features outer adjusters to set the vehicle according to load conditions. The rebound adjuster (1) is on the right-hand side at the bottom shock absorber-to-swingarm fitting. The compression adjuster (2) is on the shock absorber expansion reservoir. Turn adjusters (1 and 2) clockwise to increase damping, counter clockwise to decrease it. STANDARD setting for rebound adjuster (1): From fully closed position (clockwise) turn out by 2 turns. STANDARD setting for the compression adjuster (2): completely open position (counter clockwise). Knob (3), on the frame right-hand side, allows adjustment of the shock absorber outer spring preload, follow instructions on the knob itself. STANDARD setting corresponds to knob minimum position (LOW). Warning The shock absorber is filled with gas under pressure and may cause severe damage if taken apart by unskilled persons. S S H 2 H E 1 fig. 32 HIGH LOW 3 fig. 32a 41 Rear-view mirrors adjustment Adjustment is made by simply pushing the mirror in the direction wanted (fig. 33). To lock the mirror in position, tighten the screw at the bottom of the support (fig. 33a). E fig. 33 fig. 33a 42 Motorcycle trim adjustment Motorcycle trim is the result of many tests carried out by our engineers in the most different conditions. Changing this parameter is a very delicate operation that might prove dangerous if improperly carried out. Before changing standard setting, it is advisable to measure the reference value (H, fig. 34). The rider can change motorcycle trim according to his/her own riding style by setting shock absorber position (fig. 34a). Loosen nuts (3) on ball joints (1) and use socket (A) to increase or decrease linkage (2) center distance. Once set, tighten nuts (3) to 25 Nm. Note Be careful because lower nut (3) has a left thread. Warning Linkage (2) length, in-between joints (1) axes, must not exceed 255 mm. fig. 34 H E 2 2 1 3 3 A fig. 34a 43 DIRECTIONS FOR USE For all mechanical moving parts to adapt to one another and above all not to adversely affect the life of basic engine parts, it is advisable to avoid harsh accelerations and not to run the engine at high rpm for too long, especially uphill. Furthermore, the drive chain should be inspected frequently. Lubricate as required. From 1000 to 2500 km At this point, you can squeeze some more power out of your engine, being careful, however, to never exceed 7,000 rpm. 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 Holding S.p.A. from any liability whatsoever for resulting engine damage or shorter engine life. Running-in recommendations E Max. rotation speed (fig. 35) Rotation speed (rpm) for running-in period and during standard use: 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 revolution meter. The indicator must not exceed: 5,500-6,000 rpm. During the first hours of riding, it is advisable to run the engine at varying load and rpm, though still within recommended limit. To this end, roads with plenty of bends and even hilly areas are ideal for a most efficient running-in of engine, brakes and suspensions. For the first 100 km, use the brakes gently. Do not brake violently or keep brake applied for too long. This will enable a correct break-in of friction material on brake pads against brake discs. 44 After 2500 km After running-in, never exceed the following values during the motorcycle standard use: 10,000 rpm. Strict observance of running-in recommendations will ensure longer engine life and reduce the likelihood of overhauls and tune-ups. E 2.500 ÷ +Km 1.000 ÷ 2.500 Km km/h miles mph km/L mpgal 0 ÷ 1.000 Km fig. 35 45 Pre-ride checks Warning Failure to carry out these checks before riding, may lead to motorcycle damage and injury to rider and passenger. 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 51). Engine oil level Check oil level in the sump through the sight glass. Top up if needed (page 77). Brake and clutch fluid Check fluid level in the relevant reservoirs (page 58). Tyre condition Check tyre pressure and condition (page 75). Controls Work the brake, clutch, throttle and gear change controls (levers, pedals and twistgrips) and check for proper operation. Lights and indicators Make sure lights, indicators and horn work properly. Replace any burnt-out bulbs (page 66). Key-operated locks Check that fuel filler plug (page 35) and pillion seat catch locks (page 36) are closed firmly. Stand Make sure side stand operates smoothly and is in the correct position (page 38). Warning In case of malfunctioning, do not start the motorcycle and call a DUCATI Dealer or Authorised Workshop. E 46 Starting the engine Warning Before starting the engine, become familiar with the controls you will need to use when riding (see page 10). 1) Move ignition switch to ON (fig. 36). Check that the green pilot light N (8, fig. 5) and the red one (7, fig. 5), on the instrument panel are on. Important The oil pressure light should go out a few seconds after the engine has started (page 13). 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). PUSH ON FF ON E IG NIT IO N O C LO K P fig. 36 47 2) Check that the stop switch (1, fig. 37) is positioned to (RUN), then press the starter button (2). This model is equipped with a servoignition system. To achieve assisted engine starting, press the button (2) and release it immediately. Pressing the button (2) operates automatic engine starting for a maximum period of time that varies depending on engine temperature. When the engine has started, the system prevents the starter motor from turning over. If the engine fails to start, allow at least 2 seconds before pressing the starter button (2) again. Let the engine start without using the throttle control. Note If the battery is flat, the system will automatically prevent the starter motor from turning over. Important Do not rev up the engine when it is cold. Allow some time for oil to reach all points that need lubricating. 1 E 2 fig. 37 48 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. To shift down, release the twistgrip, pull the clutch control lever, shortly speed up to help gears synchronise, shift down and release the clutch. The controls should be used correctly and timely: when riding uphill do not hesitate to shift down as soon as the motorcycle tends to slow down, so you will avoid stressing the engine and the motorcycle abnormally. Important Avoid harsh accelerations, as this may lead to misfiring and transmission snatching. The clutch lever should not be pulled longer than necessary after gear is engaged, or friction parts may overheat and wear out. Braking Slow down in time, shift down to engine-brake first and then brake applying both brakes. Pull the clutch lever before stopping the motorcycle, to avoid sudden engine stop. Warning Use both brake lever and pedal for effective braking. Using only one of the brakes will give you less braking power. Never use brake controls harshly or violently or you may lock the wheels and lose control of the motorcycle. When riding in the rain or on slippery surfaces, braking will become less effective. Always use the brakes very gently and carefully when riding under these conditions. Any sudden manoeuvres may lead to loss of control. When tackling long, high-gradient downhill road tracts, shift down gears to use engine braking. Apply one brake at a time and use brakes sparingly. Keeping the brakes applied all the time would cause the friction material to overheat and dangerously reduce braking power. Underinflated or overinflated tyres reduce braking efficiency, steering accuracy and road holding in a bend. E 49 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 (page 26). Important The motorcycle is fitted with an energy-saving control unit. In order to prevent any current absorption, the control unit is disabled in case the key is left on ON by accident and the starter button is not pressed after 15 seconds; turn the key to OFF and back to ON to reset. However, avoid leaving the key set to ON with the engine stopped. Parking Stop the motorcycle, then put it on the side stand (see page 38). Turn the handlebar fully left and block it by pushing in the ignition key and turning it to the LOCK position. If you park in a garage or other facilities, make sure that there is proper ventilation and that the motorcycle is not near a source of heat or sparks. You may leave the parking lights on by turning the key to position P. 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. 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.). Warning Using padlocks or locks that prevent motion (such as brake disc or crown sprocket locks and so on) is very dangerous and may affect motorcycle operation as well as the safety of rider and passenger.
