E 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

 Riding with a full load
E 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 94 and that they are in good condition.

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

otherwise friction parts may overheat and wear out.
3) Raise the engine revs by turning the throttle twistgrip
while gradually releasing the clutch lever. The
motorcycle will start moving.
4) Release the clutch lever completely and accelerate.
5) To change up a gear, close the throttle to reduce the
engine revs, disengage the clutch, lift the gearchange
lever and release the clutch lever.
To change down, proceed as follows: release the twistgrip,
pull the clutch lever, shortly speed up to help gears
synchronize, shift down and release the clutch.
Use the controls intelligently and opportunely: when riding
uphill, change down immediately when the motorcycle
begins to slow down to avoid abnormal strain on the
motorcycle frame and the engine.

62
Braking
Slow down in time, change down to use the engine brake,
then apply both brakes. Pull in the clutch lever before the
E
motorcycle comes to a stop to prevent the engine stalling.

Warning
Use both the brake lever and the brake pedal for
effective braking. Using only one of the brakes will give you
less braking power. 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 riding down long, steep downhill slopes, change down
to use engine braking. Apply the brakes intermittently for
brief periods only. 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.

E
With the motorcycle on its sidestand, press with a finger in
the centre of the bottom run of the chain and measure the
distance between the centres of chain link pins and the
aluminium swingarm. The distance should be 61 to 63 mm
(fig. 96).

Important =
Have the chain tensioned at a Ducati Dealer or
=
authorized Service Centre.
61 ÷ 63 mm
Warning fig. 96
Correct tightening of the swingarm bolts (1, fig. 97)
is essential to rider and passenger safety.

Important
An incorrectly tensioned chain will lead to accelerated
wear of the transmission components.

1
fig. 97
89
 Lubricating the drive chain
E 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
high-pressure 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.

90
Changing bulbs
Before replacing a burnt-out bulb, make sure that the new
one matches the voltage and wattage specifications in
E
2 1
the “Electrical System” paragraph on page 111.

Important
For bulb replacements, contact your Ducati dealer or
authorised Service Centre.

Turn signals (fig. 98)

Loosen the bolt (1) and detach the lens (2) from the turn fig. 98
signal support.
The bulb has a bayonet-type end fitting: to remove it, push it
in and turn it counter-clockwise. Push in the new bulb and
turn it clockwise until it clicks into place. Refit the lens by
inserting the tab (A) in the corresponding slot in the turn
signal support.
Refit and tighten the bolt (1).

91
 Headlight aim (fig. 99)
E 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 9 x x
motorcycle.
10
If possible, perform this check in conditions of low ambient
light.
Switch on the low beam headlight: 10 m
the upper edge between the dark area and the lit area should
not be above 9/10th of the height of the headlamp centre
from the ground. fig. 99

Notes
This is the procedure specified by Italian regulations
for checking the maximum height of the light beam.
Owners in other countries should adapt this procedure to the
regulations in force in the country where the motorcycle is
used.

92
To adjust the headlight beam vertically, turn the adjuster
screws (1, fig. 100); for horizontal adjustment, turn the
adjuster screw (2). E

Minimum tread depth
Measure the tread depth (S, fig. 102) at the point where the
tread is most worn.
E
It should not be less than 2 mm, and in any case not less S
than the legal limit.

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.

 Checking the engine oil level (fig. 103)
E Check the engine oil level through the sight glass (1) on the
clutch-side crankcase 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.
The oil level should be between the two marks next to the
sight glass. If the level is below the bottom mark, top up
with SHELL Advance Ultra 4 engine oil.
Remove the oil filler cap (2) and top up until the oil reaches
the required level. Replace the filler cap.
