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 skilled staff have the tools required to perform

any servicing job to the highest professional standards,

using only Ducati original spare parts to ensure full

interchangeability, smooth running and long 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 is

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. You will find the information in the manual

useful on trips (which Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A. hopes will

be smooth 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 could lead to severe injury or even death.

Important

Risk of 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 who 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 enclosed space.

Exhaust gases are toxic 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 strap on the pillion seat with both hands.

Obey the legal requirements and observe national and local

regulations.

ALWAYS respect speed limits where these apply, and

NEVER exceed the speed allowed by the particular visibility,

road and traffic conditions.

ALWAYS signal your intention to turn or change lane in good

time, using the appropriate turn signals.

Be sure you are clearly visible and avoid riding within the

blind spot of a 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 remain hot for a long

time.

Warning

The exhaust system may still be hot even after engine

is switched off; so take special care not to touch it with any

part of the 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 sidestand.

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 attach 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 99 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.
