General indications

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 Authorised Service Centre. The information contained herein will prove useful on your trips - and Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A. wishes you smooth, enjoyable riding - and will help you keep the performance of your motorcycle unchanged for a long time. This booklet uses a set of symbols with special meanings:

Warning Warranty
In your own interest, and in order to guarantee product reliability, you are strongly advised to refer to a Ducati Dealer or Authorised Service Centre 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. The warranty does not apply to motorcycles used in competitions or in cases where there is evidence of poor maintenance. 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. 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.

Note
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.

Important
Before riding the motorcycle, rider and pillion passenger must ALWAYS wear suitable clothes and 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 indoors. 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 grabhandles under the seat with both hands. Ride within the law and observe national and local rules. 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 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 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 when you leave your motorcycle unattended. The engine, exhaust pipes and silencers remain hot for a long time.

Information on load capacity

The total weight of the motorcycle in running order including rider, pillion passenger, luggage and additional accessories should not exceed 390 kg. Arrange your luggage or heavy accessories in the lowest possible position and close to motorcycle centre. 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 steering head 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. Make sure the tyres are inflated to the proper pressure indicated at page 102 and that they are in good condition.

Warning
The exhaust system might be hot, even after 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 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.

Identification data
All Ducati motorcycles have two identification numbers, for the frame (fig. 1) and for the engine (fig. 2). Frame number Engine number

Note
These numbers indicate the motorcycle model and should be quoted when ordering spare parts. fig. 1

Smart headlight switch-on

This function allows programmed activation of the headlight even with the motorcycle off (Key-Off). The instrument panel stays active for 60 seconds soon after Key-Off, and the headlight can be switched on by pressing switch (1, fig. 10) in position A or B . During these 60 seconds, each time switch (1, fig. 10) is pressed in position A or B , the instrument panel will activate the headlight for 30 seconds; each press of the switch will add to the headlight activation time, up to a maximum of 6 presses (equivalent to a maximum activation time of 180 seconds). After the first time you press switch (1, fig. 10) in position A or B , the period of 30 seconds starts, thus switching on the headlight. Further switch-on time can be added only if you press the switch again within these 30 seconds. If the 30 seconds have elapsed, no further multiples of 30 seconds can be added, and the instrument panel will switch off the headlight. To reset this function, you must perform at least one Key-On/ Key-Off. If the battery power is interrupted at any time while this function is active, when power is restored, the instrument panel will de-activate the function (the instrument panel does not remain active for 60 seconds).

The immobilizer system

For additional anti-theft protection, the motorcycle is equipped with an IMMOBILIZER, an electronic system that locks the engine automatically whenever the ignition switch is turned off. The grip of each ignition key contains an electronic device that modulates the output signal from a special antenna in the switch when the ignition is switched On. The modulated signal represents the password (which is changed at each start-up) by which the ECU recognizes the ignition key. The ECU will only allow the engine to start if it recognises this password.

Note
The two keys have a small tag (1) attached, which shows their identification number.

Warning
Keep the keys separately and use only one of the black keys to start the motorcycle.

Keys (fig.31)
The owner receives a set of keys, comprising: - 2 (BLACK) keys B These contain the code of the immobilizer system.

Note
Your Ducati dealer may ask you to produce your Code Card in order to carry out certain servicing operations. The black keys (B) are the keys for normal use, and are used to: - start up the engine - open the fuel tank filler plug - open the seat lock

Code card
The CODE CARD (fig. 32) supplied with the keys reports an electronic code (A, fig. 33) to start the engine in the event it fails to start after KEY-ON because the immobilizer system inhibited the ignition.

Warning
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, in case it is necessary to enable the engine through the procedure described below. This procedure lets you disable the engine block function - indicated by the amber yellow Engine Diagnosis EOBD light (8, fig. 4) coming on - in the event of problems with the immobilizer system. This operation is only possible if the electronic code indicated on the code card is known.

Operation

Duplicate keys
If you need additional keys, contact your DUCATI Service Centre with all the keys you have in your possession and your CODE CARD. The Ducati Service Centre will program all the new keys as well as any keys you already have. You may be asked to provide proof that you are the legitimate owner of the motorcycle. The codes for any keys not present during the memory programming procedure are cancelled, to ensure that any keys that may have been lost can no longer be used to start the engine.

When the ignition key is turned from ON to OFF, the immobilizer system activates the engine lock. When the ignition key is turned from OFF to ON to start the engine: 1) if the code is recognised, the protection system releases the engine lock. Press the START button (2, fig. 40), to start the engine; 2) if the Vehicle/Engine Diagnosis - EOBD light (8, fig. 4) comes on and the page with the Error message is displayed when you press switch (11, fig. 5) in position B it means that the code was not recognised. In this case, turn the ignition key back to OFF and then to ON again. If the engine still does not start, try again with the other black key. If the engine still does not start, contact the DUCATI Service network.

Note
If you sell your motorcycle, it is essential to transfer all keys and the CODE CARD to the new owner.

Warning
Sharp knocks can damage the electronic components inside the key. Always use the same key throughout the procedure. Using different keys could prevent the system from recognising the code in the key.

Riding the motorcycle

Up to 1000 km
During the first 1000 km, keep an eye on the rev counter. It should never exceed 5,500-6,000 rpm. During the first hours of riding, it is advisable to continuously vary the load on the engine and the rpm, though still keeping within the above limits. For this reason, roads with numerous bends and hilly areas are ideal for running in the engine, brakes and suspension. For the first 100 km, use the brakes gently. Do not brake violently or keep brake applied for too long. This will enable a correct break-in of the friction material on the brake pads against the brake discs. To allow all the mechanical moving parts in the motorcycle to adapt to one another, and to avoid shortening the life of the main engine components, it is advisable to avoid sudden acceleration and running the engine at high rpm for too long, especially uphill. It is also advisable to check the drive chain frequently and ensure that it is lubricated as required.

Running-in recommendations
Maximum rpm (fig. 52)
Rpm limits to be observed during the running-in period and in normal use: 1) Up to 1000 km 2) From 1000 to 2500 km

0 1.000 Km

1.000 2.500 Km

From 1000 to 2500 km

At this point, you can ask for more power from the engine, being careful, however, never to exceed 7,000 rpm.

fig. 52

65

Important
Throughout the running-in period, be careful to stick to the recommended maintenance schedule and periodic service intervals indicated in the warranty booklet. Failure to comply with these rules will release Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A. from any liability whatsoever for resulting engine damage or shorter engine life. Keeping to the running-in recommendations will ensure longer engine life and reduce the need for overhauls and retuning.

CONTROLS Operate the brake, clutch, gearchange and throttle controls (lever, pedal and twistgrip) and check that they function correctly. LIGHTS AND INDICATORS Make sure lights, indicators and horn work properly. Replace any burnt-out bulbs (page 99). KEY-OPERATED LOCKS Check that the fuel filler cap and the seat are locked. STAND Make sure side stand operates smoothly and is in the correct position (page 63).

Pre-ride checks Warning

Failure to carry out these checks before starting may result in damage to the motorcycle and injury to rider. Before starting, check the following points: FUEL LEVEL IN THE TANK Check fuel level in the tank. Fill tank if needed (page 72). ENGINE OIL LEVEL Check the oil level in the sump through the sight glass. Top up if needed (page 104). BRAKE AND CLUTCH FLUID Check the fluid levels in the respective reservoirs. TYRE CONDITION Check tyre pressure and condition (page 102).

ABS light (for Monster 795 ABS only)

After key-on, the ABS light (10, fig. 4) remains on when the vehicle speed exceeds 5 km/h; the light turns off to indicate that the ABS system is functioning properly.

Warning
In case of malfunction, do not ride the motorcycle and contact a Ducati Dealer or authorised Service Centre.

66

ABS device (for Monster 795 ABS only)

Check that the front (1) and rear (2) phonic wheels are clean.

Warning

Warning
Before starting the engine, familiarise yourself with the controls that you will use when riding.

Normal ambient temperature

(between 10 C/50 F and 35 C/95 F): 1) Move the ignition switch to (1). Make sure both the green light N and the red light on the instrument panel come on.

Important
The oil pressure light should go out a few seconds after the engine has started (page 11).

Warning
The side stand must be fully up (in horizontal position) as its safety sensor prevents engine start when down.

fig. 55

68

Allow the engine to start on its own, without turning the throttle twistgrip.

Note
If the battery is flat, the system automatically disables operation of the starter motor.

Important
Do not rev the engine when cold. Allow some time for the oil to warm up and reach all points that need lubricating.

fig. 56

69

Moving off
1) Disengage the clutch squeezing the control lever. 2) Push down on gear change lever sharply with the tip of your foot to engage the first gear. 3) Speed up the engine, turn the throttle twistgrip, gradually release the clutch lever at the same time; the motorcycle will start moving. 4) Let go of clutch lever and speed up. 5) To shift up, close the throttle to slow down engine, disengage the clutch, lift the gear change lever and let go of clutch lever. To change down, proceed as follows: release the twistgrip, pull the clutch lever, increase engine speed for a moment to allow the gears to synchronise, shift down and release the clutch. Use the controls intelligently and promptly: when riding uphill, do not hesitate to shift down as soon as the motorcycle starts to slow down, so you will avoid stressing the engine and the motorcycle abnormally.

Important
Avoid sudden acceleration, as this may lead to misfiring and transmission snatching. The clutch lever should not be held in longer than necessary after a gear is engaged, otherwise friction parts may overheat and wear out.

Warning (for Monster 795 ABS only)

Prolonged rearing could deactivate the ABS system.

70

Braking
Slow down in time, change down to use the engine brake, then apply both brakes. Pull in the clutch lever before the motorcycle comes to a stop to prevent the engine stalling.

If desired, the system can be deactivated from the instrument panel, using the ABS disabling function (see page 37).

Warning ABS device (for Monster 795 ABS only)

Using the brakes correctly under adverse conditions is the hardest and yet the most critical - skill to master for a rider. Braking is one of the most difficult and dangerous moments when riding a two wheeled vehicle: the possibility of falling or having an accident during this difficult moment is statistically higher than any other moment. A locked front wheel leads to loss of traction and stability, resulting in loss of control. The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) has been developed to enable riders to use the vehicles braking force to the fullest possible amount in emergency braking or under poor pavement or adverse weather conditions. ABS uses hydraulics and electronics to limit pressure in the brake circuit when a special sensor mounted to the wheel signals the electronic control unit that the wheel is about to lock up. This avoids wheel lockup and preserves traction. Pressure is raised back up immediately and the control unit keeps controlling the brake until the risk of a lockup disappears. Normally, the rider will perceive ABS operation as a harder feel or a pulsation of the brake lever and pedal. The front and rear brakes use separate control systems, meaning that they operate independently. Likewise, the ABS is not an integral braking system and does not control both the front and rear brake at the same time. With the ABS system deactivated, the vehicle maintains the characteristics of the standard braking system, therefore the use of only one of the brakes reduces the motorcycle's braking efficiency. Never use the brake controls harshly or suddenly as you may lock the wheels and lose control of the motorcycle. When riding in the rain or on slippery surfaces, braking capacity is significantly reduced. Always use the brakes very gently and carefully when riding under these conditions. Any sudden manoeuvres may lead to loss of control. When tackling long, steep downhill road tracts, shift down gears to use engine braking. Apply one brake at a time and use brakes sparingly. Keeping the brakes applied continuously causes the friction material to overheat and dangerously reduces braking effectiveness. Tyre inflation pressures below the specified value will reduce braking efficiency, and compromise steering precision and roadholding on bends.

71

Stopping the motorcycle (fig. 57)

Reduce speed, shift down and release the throttle twistgrip. Change down to engage first gear and then neutral. Apply the brakes and bring the motorcycle to a complete stop. To switch the engine off, simply turn the key to (2).

Important
Never leave the key in the ON position (1) when engine is stopped, or this will damage the electric components.

fig. 57

Refuelling (fig. 58)

Never overfill the tank when refuelling. The fuel level should always be below the rim of the filler recess.

Max level

Warning
Use fuel with low lead content and an original octane number of at least 95. Check that no fuel is trapped in the filler cap recess.

fig. 58

72

Parking
Stop the motorcycle, then put it on the side stand (see page 63). To prevent theft, turn the handlebar fully left and turn the ignition key to (3). If you park in a garage or other indoor area, make sure that there is proper ventilation and that the motorcycle is not near a source of heat. You may leave the parking lights on by turning the key to (4).

Important
Do not leave the key turned to position (4) for long periods or the battery will run down. Never leave the motorcycle unattended with the ignition key inserted.

fig.59

Warning
The exhaust system might be hot, even after 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.).

Warning
Using padlocks or other locks designed to prevent movement of the motorcycle (such as brake disc locks, rear sprocket locks, and so on) is very dangerous, and may impair motorcycle operation and the safety of rider and passenger.

73

Tool kit and accessories

The tool kit for normal check and maintenance operations is located in the underseat compartment. To access the underseat compartment, remove the seat (page 61). The tool kit includes: - fuse pliers; - 8/10 double-ended wrench; - helmet lock cable; - screwdriver; - screwdriver handle; - 16 mm box wrench; - 8 mm rod; - 3 mm Allen wrench; - 5 mm Allen wrench; - 6 mm Allen wrench.

Main maintenance operations

Changing the air filter Important

Have the air filter maintenance performed at a Ducati Dealer or authorised Service Centre. fig. 61

Checking brake and clutch fluid levels

(fig. 61)
The levels should not fall below the MIN marks on the respective reservoirs. If level drops below the limit, air can get into the circuit and make the system ineffective. Fluids must be topped up and changed at the intervals specified in the scheduled maintenance table reported in the Warranty Booklet; please contact a Ducati Dealer or authorised Service Centre.

Clutch system
If the control lever has excessive play and the transmission snatches or jams when engaging a gear, this indicates that air is in the circuit. Contact your Ducati Dealer or authorised Service Centre to have the system inspected and air drained out.

Warning
The level of clutch fluid tends to increase in the reservoir as the friction material on the clutch plates wears out. Do not exceed the specified level (3 mm above the minimum level).

Important
It is recommended that all brake and clutch hoses be replaced every 4 years.

75

Brake system

Checking brake pads for wear (fig. 62)

Check brake pads wear through the inspection hole in the callipers. Change both pads if friction material thickness of even just one pad is about 1 mm.

If you find excessive play on brake lever or pedal and brake pads are still in good condition, contact your Ducati Dealer or authorised Service Centre to have the system inspected and any air drained out of the circuit.

Warning
Brake and clutch fluid can damage paintwork and plastic parts, so avoid contact. Hydraulic oil is corrosive; it may cause damage and lead to severe injuries. Never mix fluids of different qualities. Check that the seals are in good condition.

Warning
Friction material wear beyond this limit would lead to metal support contact with the brake disc thus compromising braking efficiency, disc integrity and rider safety.

Important
Have the brake pads replaced at a Ducati Dealer or authorised Service Centre.

Tensioning the drive chain

Make the rear wheel turn until you find the position where chain is tightest. Set the vehicle on the side stand. Lower the chain by pressing down on it only with your finger at the point of measurement, and release. Measure distance (A) between chain pin centre and the aluminium section of the swingarm. It must be: A = 3941 mm (fig. 98). To adjust the tension loosen the wheel shaft nut (1, fig. 99), tighten the screw (2) to the same torque in the opposite direction on both sides of the swingarm in order to increase the tension or loosen to reduce it. In the latter case, you will need to push the wheel forward.

E
A

39 41 mm

Important
Have chain tension adjusted by a Ducati Dealer or authorised Service Centre. fig. 98

Warning
An incorrectly tensioned chain will lead to accelerated wear of the transmission components. Check the positioning marks on both sides of the swingarm, to guarantee the perfect wheel alignment. Grease wheel shaft nut (1) thread with SHELL Retinax HDX2 and tighten to a torque of 145 Nm. Grease the adjusting screws (2) thread with SHELL Alvania R3 and tighten to a torque of 10 Nm.

Warning
Correct tightening of swinging arm screws (1, fig. 99) is critical to rider and passenger safety. fig. 99

97

Lubricating the drive chain

The chain fitted on your motorcycle has O-rings to protect its moving parts from dirt, and to hold the lubricant inside. So as not to damage these seals when cleaning the chain, use special solvents and avoid aggressive washing with highpressure steam cleaners. After cleaning, blow the chain dry with compressed air or wipe with an absorbent material, then lubricate each link with SHELL Advance Chain or Advance Teflon Chain.

Important
Using non-specific lubricants may cause severe damage to the chain and the front and rear sprocket.

Headlight aim (fig. 101)

To check the headlight aim, place the motorcycle upright with the tyres inflated to the correct pressure and one person sitting astride the motorcycle. The motorcycle should be perfectly vertical, with its longitudinal axis at right angles to a wall or screen at a distance of 10 metres. Draw a horizontal line on the wall at the height of the centre of the headlight and a vertical one in line with the longitudinal axis of the motorcycle. If possible, perform this check in conditions of low ambient light. Switch on the low beam headlight: The initial vertical deflection angle should be between -1% and -1.5%.

-1%-1,5%

10 m

Tyres
Front tyre pressure: 2.25 bar - 2.29 kg/cm2 Rear tyre pressure: 2.50 bar - 2.55 kg/cm2 As tyre pressure is affected by changes in temperature and altitude; check and adjust them whenever you are riding in areas where there are large variations in temperature or altitude.

Warning
Punctured tyres must be replaced. Replace with tyres of the original brand and type. Be sure to tighten the valve dust caps securely to prevent leaks while riding. Never fit tyres with inner tubes, as these can cause the tyre to burst suddenly, with possibly serious consequences for the rider and passenger. After replacing a tyre, the wheel must be balanced.

Important
Do not remove or alter the position of the wheel balancing weights.

Important
Check and adjust the pressures with the tyres cold. To avoid front wheel rim distortion, when riding on bumpy roads, increase front tyre pressure by 0.2 - 0.3 bar.

Note
Have the tyres replaced at a Ducati Dealer or authorised Service Centre. Correct removal and installation of the wheels is essential, as some parts of the ABS (such as sensors and phonic wheels) are mounted to the wheels and require specific adjustment) (for Monster 795 ABS only).

Repairing or replacing tyres

With minor punctures, tubeless tyres take a long time to deflate, as they tend to hold the air inside. If you find low pressure on one tyre, check the tyre for punctures.

102

Minimum tread depth

Measure tread depth (S) at the point where tread is most worn down; It should not be less than 2 mm, and in any case not less than the legal limit.

E
S

Important
Visually inspect the tyres at regular intervals for cracks and cuts, especially on the side walls, and bulges or large stains that indicate internal damage. Replace them if badly damaged. Remove any stones or other foreign bodies stuck in the tread. fig. 104

103

Checking the engine oil level

Check the engine oil level through the sight glass (1) on the clutch cover. Check the oil level with the motorcycle upright and the engine cold. Allow a few minutes for the oil level to stabilize after stopping the engine. Oil level should be between the marks near the sight glass. If the level is low, top up with SHELL Advance 4T Ultra engine oil. Remove the oil filler cap (2) and top up until the oil reaches the required level. Replace the filler cap.

Important
Engine oil and oil filters must be changed by a Ducati Dealer or authorised Service Centre at the intervals specified in the scheduled maintenance table reported in the Warranty Booklet. fig. 105

Cleaning and replacing the spark plugs

Spark plugs are an important part of the engine and should be checked at regular intervals. This is a relatively simple operation and provides a good indication of how well the engine is running. Pull the spark plug caps off the spark plugs and remove the plugs from the cylinder heads using the wrench supplied in the toolkit. Check the colour of the ceramic insulation around the central electrode: an even brown colour is a sign that the engine is in good running order. If the insulation is any other colour, or if there are dark deposits, replace the spark plug and describe the condition of the old plug to a Ducati dealer or Authorized Service Centre. Also check the central electrode; if it is worn or glazed, replace the spark plug. Check the distance between the electrodes, which must be: 0.7 - 0.8 mm.

Insert the spark plug in the cylinder head and screw in fully by hand. Tighten to a torque of 20 Nm. If you do not have a torque wrench, after hand-tightening the spark plug, turn it an additional half turn with the wrench provided in the tool kit.

Important
Do not use spark plugs with an unsuitable heat rating or incorrect reach. The spark plug must be tightened correctly.

0,70,8 mm

Important
If adjustment is required, bend the side electrode carefully. A gap outside the specified limits will adversely affect engine performance and may lead to difficult starting or erratic idling. Thoroughly clean the electrode and insulation using a wire brush, and check the condition of the gasket. Carefully clean the seat in the cylinder head and be careful not to let any foreign material fall into the combustion chamber.

fig. 106

105

General cleaning
To preserve the original shine on metal surfaces and paintwork, wash and clean your motorcycle at regular intervals depending on the type of use and according to the particular road conditions. Use specific products, where possible biodegradable. Avoid aggressive detergents or solvents. Only use water and neutral soap to clean the Plexiglas and the seat. Clean the aluminium components regularly and by hand. Use specific detergents for aluminium that do NOT contain abrasive substances or caustic soda.

If parts of the engine are unusually dirty or greasy, use a degreasing agent, avoiding contact with transmission components (chain, front and rear sprockets, etc.). Rinse with warm water and dry all surfaces with chamois leather.

Warning
There may be loss of braking efficiency immediately after washing the motorcycle. Never grease or lubricate the brake discs as this would cause loss of braking effectiveness. Clean the discs with an oil-free solvent.

Note
Do not use abrasive or steel wool sponges, use only a soft cloth. The warranty does not apply to motorcycles where there is evidence of poor maintenance.

Warning
The headlight might fog up due to washing, rain or moisture. Switch headlight on for a short time to dry up any condensate. Carefully clean the phonic wheels of the ABS so to ensure system efficiency. Do not use aggressive products so to avoid damaging the phonic wheels and the sensors.

Important
Do not wash your motorcycle immediately after use, as marks can form due to evaporation of the water on hot surfaces. Never clean the motorcycle using hot or high-pressure water jets. Cleaning the motorcycle with a high pressure water jet may lead to seizure or serious faults in the front fork, wheel hub assembly, electric system, headlight (fogging), front fork seals, air inlets or exhaust silencers, with consequent loss of safety.

106

Storing the motorcycle

If the motorcycle is to be left unused for a long period, it is advisable to carry out the following operations first: clean the motorcycle; empty the fuel tank by removing the drainage plug complete with the gasket; pour a few drops of engine oil into the cylinders through the spark plug bores, then turn the engine over by hand a few times to form a protective film of oil on the inner walls of the cylinder; place the motorcycle on the service stand; disconnect and remove the battery. If the motorcycle has been left unused for more than a month, the battery should be checked and re-charged if necessary. Protect the motorcycle with a specific motorcycle cover that will not damage the paintwork or retain moisture. This type of motorcycle cover is available from Ducati Performance.

Important notes
The legislation in some countries (France, Germany, Great Britain, Switzerland, etc.) sets certain noise and pollution standards. Periodically carry out the required checks and replace parts as necessary, using Ducati original spare parts, in compliance with the regulations in the country concerned.
