GENERAL

Warranty

In your own interest, and in order to guarantee product

reliability, you are strongly advised to refer to a Ducati

Dealer or Authorized Workshop for any servicing

requiring particular technical expertise. Our highly skilled

staff have access to the implements required to perform

any servicing job at best, using 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”.

However, warranty does not apply to the motorcycles

used in competitions. No motorcycle part may be

tampered with, altered, or replaced with parts other than

original Ducati spare parts during the warranty period, or

the warranty will be automatically invalidated.

Symbols

Ducati Motor S.p.A. advises you to read this manual

carefully so as to become familiar with your motorcycle.

In case of any doubts, please call a Ducati Dealer or

Authorized Workshop. The information contained herein

will prove useful on your trips - and Ducati Motor S.p.A.

wishes you smooth, enjoyable riding - and will help you

keep the performance of your motorcycle unchanged for

a long time.

Warning

Failure to comply with these instructions may put

you at risk and lead to severe injury or 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 are referred to the motorcycle

viewed from the riding position.

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 belt on 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 refueling.

Be extremely careful not to spill gasoline on the engine

or on the exhaust pipe when refueling.

Do not smoke when refueling.

While refueling, you may inhale noxious gasoline vapors.

Should any gasoline 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.

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.

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 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 375 Kg/827 lb.

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.

Make sure the tyres are inflated to the proper pressure

indicated at page 52 and that they are in good condition.

Identification data

All Ducati motorcycles have two identification numbers,

for frame (fig. 1.1) and engine (fig. 1.2).

Frame number

Engine number

Note

These numbers identify the motorcycle model and

are required when ordering spare parts.
