General indications

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 servicing that requires any

particular technical expertise.

Our highly qualified staff have access to the specialised

tools required to perform any servicing job to the highest

professional standards, using only Ducati original spare

parts as the best guarantee for perfect interchangeability,

smooth running and long service life.

All Ducati motorcycles come with a “Warranty Booklet”.

However, the warranty does not apply to motorcycles

used in competitions. If any motorcycle part is tampered

with, modified, or replaced with parts other than original

Ducati spare parts during the warranty period, the

warranty will be automatically invalidated.

Symbols

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

manual carefully in order to familiarise yourself with your

motorcycle. If in doubt, please contact a Ducati Dealer or

Authorized Service Centre. The information in this manual

will help ensure that your riding experience is trouble-free

and enjoyable, and it will help you obtain top performance

from your motorcycle for a long time.

This booklet uses a set of symbols with special meanings:

Warning

Failure to comply with these instructions may put

you at risk, and lead to severe injury or even death.

Important

There is the possibility of causing damage to the

motorcycle and/or its components.

Notes

Additional information about the current operation.

References to the right or left side of the motorcycle

assume you are sitting on the seat, facing forward.

Useful road safety information

Warning

Read this section before riding your motorcycle.

Many accidents are the result of the inexperience of the

rider. Always make sure you have your licence with you; you

need a valid licence that entitles you to ride a motorcycle.

Do not lend your motorcycle to persons that are

inexperienced or do not hold a valid licence.

Riders and passengers must always wear appropriate

clothing and a safety helmet.

Do not wear loose clothes or accessories that could

become tangled in the controls or limit your field of vision.

Never start or run the engine in an enclosed space.

Exhaust gases are poisonous and may lead to loss of

consciousness or even death within a short time.

The rider should keep his/her feet on the footrests when

the motorcycle is in motion.

Always hold the handlebars firmly with both hands so

you will be ready for sudden changes in direction or in the

road surface. The pillion passenger should always hold on

to the grabhandles under the seat with both hands.

Obey the legal requirements and observe national and local

regulations.

Always respect speed limits where these are indicated

and always adapt your speed to suit the current visibility,

road and traffic conditions.

Always signal your intention to turn or change lane in

good time, using the appropriate turn signal indicators.

Be sure you are clearly visible and avoid riding within the

blind spot of the vehicle in front of you.

Be very careful at road junctions, or when riding in areas

near exits from private land or car parks, or on the slip

roads to 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, it is possible to 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 if leaving your motorcycle

unattended.

The engine, exhaust pipes and silencers stay hot for a

long time.

Warning

The exhaust system might still be hot even if the

engine is switched off; take special care not to touch exhaust

system with any part of your body and do not park the

motorcycle next to inflammable material (wood, leaves etc.).

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.

Riding with a full load

Your motorcycle is designed for travelling over long

distances with a full load in complete safety.

Even weight distribution is critical for maintaining safety

standards, and to avoid getting into difficulties when

making sudden manoeuvres or riding on bumpy roads.

Information on load capacity

The total weight of the motorcycle in running order with rider,

luggage and additional accessories should not exceed

390 kg.

Arrange your luggage or heavy accessories in the lowest

possible position and as close to centre of the motorcycle

as possible.

Secure the luggage firmly to the motorcycle structure.

Luggage incorrectly secured may cause the motorcycle

to become unstable.

Never fix bulky or heavy objects to the top yoke or front

mudguard, as this would cause dangerous instability.

Do not insert objects into gaps in the frame, where they

could interfere with moving parts.

Check that the tyres are inflated to the pressure indicated

on page 62 and that they are in good condition.

Identification data

All Ducati motorcycles have two identification numbers,

one for the frame (fig. 1) and one for the engine (fig. 2).

Notes

These numbers indicate the motorcycle model,

and should be quoted when ordering spare parts.
