Important Possibility of damaging the motorcycle and/or its components. Note Additional information concerning the job being carried out. The terms right and left are referred to the motorcycle viewed from the riding position. 6 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. 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 the handlebars 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 handle at the rear of the 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 refueling. Be extremely careful not to spill fuel on the engine or on the exhaust pipe when refueling. Do not smoke when refueling. While refueling, you may inhale noxious fuel vapors. 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 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. Information about carrying capacity The total weight of the motorcycle in running order including rider, pillion passenger, luggage and additional accessories should not exceed 420 Kg. The weight of luggage alone should never exceed 23 Kg divided as follows (fig. 1): max 9 kg for each side pannier; max 5 kg for tank bag. fig. 1 8 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. If you install the side panniers (available from Ducati Spare Parts Department): sort luggage and accessories so to distribute weight evenly and then arrange them in the panniers so that they are well balanced; lock both side panniers using the suitable key lock. Make sure the tyres are inflated to the proper pressure indicated at page 64 and that they are in good condition. E 9 Identification data All Ducati motorcycles have two identification numbers, for frame (fig. 2) and engine (fig. 3).
