GENERAL

Warranty

In your own interest, and in order to guarantee product

reliability, you are strongly advised to refer to our

authorized Dealers and workshops for any servicing

requiring particular technical expertise. Our highly skilled

staff have access to the implements required to perform

any servicing job at best, and use 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 or competitive trials. 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 right will be

automatically invalidated.

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 handles under 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

7

E

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

vapours. 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.

8

E

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 these

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 390 Kg.

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.

Make sure the tyres are inflated to the proper pressure

(see page 48) 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

should always be indicated when ordering spare parts.

The immobilizer system

For improved anti-theft protection, the motorcycle is

equipped with an IMMOBILIZER, an electronic system

that inhibits engine operation whenever the ignition

switch is turned off.

Accommodated in the handgrip of each ignition key is an

electronic device that modulates an output signal. This

signal is generated by a special antenna incorporated in

the switch when the ignition is turned on and changes

every time. The modulated signal acts as a “password”

and tells the CPU that an "authorised" ignition key is

being used to start up the engine. When the CPU

recognises the signal, it enables engine start-up.

Keys (fig. 4.1)

The Owner receives a set of keys comprising:

- 1 RED key A

- 2 BLACK keys B

The keys B are regular ignition keys and are used to:

- start up the engine

- open the lock of the fuel tank filler plug

- open the seat lock.

The key A performs the same functions as the keys B,

and is also used to wipe off and re-program other black

keys, if needed.

12

E

Note

The three keys have a small plate (1) attached that

reports their identification number.

Important

Keep the keys in different places. Store the plate (1)

and the key A in a safe place.

Code card

The keys come with a CODE CARD that reports:

A) (fig. 4.3) the electronic code to be used to start the

engine in the event of an emergency;

B) (fig. 4.3) the part no. code for the keys to be reported

to the DUCATI Service network when you are ordering

any duplicate keys.

Important

Keep the CODE CARD in a safe place. However, it

is advisable to keep the electronic code printed on the

CODE CARD handy when you ride your motorcycle, so

you will be able to start the engine in the event of an

emergency.

Operation

When the ignition key is turned to OFF, the immobilizer

inhibits engine operation.

When the ignition key is turned back to ON to start the

engine, the following happens:

1) if the CPU recognised the code, the CODE light on the

instrument panel will flash briefly. This means that the

immobilizer system has recognised the key code and

enabled engine ignition. When you press the START

button, the engine will start up.

2) If the CODE light stays on, it means that the code has

not been recognised. When this is the case, turn the

ignition key back to OFF and then to ON again. If the

engine still does not start, try with another key.

If the other key does not work out either, contact the

DUCATI Service network.

Warning

The keys accommodate electronic components

inside. If dropped or hit, they might damage.

Duplicate keys

If you need any duplicate keys, contact the DUCATI

Service network with all the keys you have left and your

CODE CARD.

DUCATI Service will program up to 8 new keys and re-

program your original keys.

You may be asked to identify yourself as the legitimate

owner of the motorcycle. Be sure have any documents

you might need to this end ready.

The codes of any keys not submitted will be wiped off

from the memory to make those keys unserviceable in

case they have been lost.

Note

If you sell your motorcycle, do not forget to give all

keys and the CODE CARD to the new owner.

Ignition switch and steering lock (fig. 5)

It is located in front of the fuel tank and has four

positions:

A) ON: lights and engine on;

B) OFF: lights and engine off;

C) LOCK: steering lock;

D) P: parking lights and steering lock.

Warning

This vehicle is equipped with an energy-saving

CPU. If the key stays ON for a long period but the ignition

button is not pressed within 15 seconds, the CPU will

stop operating to avoid current absorption. Move the key

to OFF and then to ON again.

Note

To move the key to the last two positions, press it

down before turning it. Switching to (B), (C) and (D), you

will be able to take the key out.

Left switch (fig. 6)

1) Dip switch, light dip switch, two positions:

position = low beam on;

position = high beam on.

2) Switch = 3-position turn indicator:

position = right turn.

To cancel turn indicators, return switch to central position

and push in.

3) Button = warning horn.

4) Button = high-beam flasher.

Clutch lever (fig. 7)

Lever (1) disengages the clutch. It features a dial adjuster

(2) for lever distance from the twistgrip on handlebar.

To set lever distance from twistgrip, push lever (1) fully

forward and turn the dial adjuster (2) to one of its four

positions. Remember that position no. 1 gives maximum

distance between lever and twistgrip, whereas lever and

twistgrip are closest when adjuster is set to position no.

4.

When you pull in the lever (1), you will disengage the

engine from the gearbox and therefore from the driving

wheel. Using the clutch properly is essential to smooth

riding, especially when moving off.

Warning

Set clutch lever when motorcycle is stopped.

Important

Using the clutch properly will avoid damage to

transmission parts and spare the engine.
