In your own interest, and in order to guarantee product

reliability, you are strongly advised to refer to our

This manual contains some special remarks:

Warning

Failure to comply with these instructions may put

Possibility of damaging the motorcycle and/or its

Note

Additional information concerning the job being

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 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.

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

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.

Identification data

All Ducati motorcycles have two identification numbers,

for frame (fig. 2) and engine (fig. 3).

Frame number

Engine number

Note

These numbers identify the motorcycle model and

should always be indicated when ordering spare parts.
