Riding with a full load
Your motorcycle is designed for travelling over long
distances with a full load in complete safety.
E
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 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.

E
adjust it, keep lever (1) fully extended, and turn knob (2, fig.
40), turning it in correspondence of one of the four foreseen
positions.
Keep in mind that:
position no. 1 corresponds to the maximum distance
between the lever and the knob, whereas position no. 4
corresponds to the minimum distance.
When the clutch lever (1) is operated, drive from the engine
to the gearbox and the rear wheel is disengaged. Correct use
of the clutch lever is very important in all riding situations,
especially when moving off.
1 fig. 39
Warning
Any adjustment of clutch lever must be carried out
when motorcycle is stationary.

Important
Using the clutch properly will prolong the life of the

1) Move the ignition switch to position (1,fig. 56). 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).

4) Set the start lever in the vertical position (A) to reach the
idle condition of approx. 1,400÷1,500 rpm.

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

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.

https://www.motorcycle-manual.com/
69
 Braking
E 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.

Warning
Use both brake lever and pedal for effective braking.
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, high-gradient 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.

https://www.motorcycle-manual.com/
70
Stopping the motorcycle
Reduce speed, shift down and release the throttle twistgrip.
Change down to engage first gear and then neutral. Apply
2 1 E
the brakes and bring the motorcycle to a complete stop. To
switch the engine off, simply turn the key to (2, fig. 59).

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

Refuelling
Never overfill the tank when refuelling. The fuel level should
always be below the rim of the filler recess (fig. 60).
fig. 59
Warning
Use low-lead fuel with a minimum octane rating of 95
Max level

Be sure there is no fuel trapped in the filler recess.

 Parking
E 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, fig. 61).
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,
fig. 61).

Important
Do not leave the key turned to position (4, fig. 61) for
long periods or the battery will run down. Never leave the 3 4
motorcycle unattended with the ignition key inserted. fig. 61

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.

 Lubricating cables and linkages
E The condition of the throttle cables and choke cable sheaths
should be checked at regular intervals. There should be no
signs of pinching or cracking on the outer plastic sheath.
Operate the control to check that the inner cable slides
smoothly: if you feel any friction or catching, have the cable
replaced by a Ducati Dealer or Authorised Service Centre.
To avoid this kind of problem, periodically lubricate the ends
of each control cable with SHELL Advance Grease or Retinax

Concerning the throttle cable, it is advised to open the

housing, unscrewing the two fastening screws (1, fig. 65) 1
and then grease the cable end and the pulley.
fig. 65
Warning
Close the twistgrip housing carefully, inserting the
cable in the race.

Refit the housing and tighten the screws (1) to 1.8 Nm.

To ensure smooth operation of the side stand pivot, remove

dirt and apply SHELL Alvania R3 grease to all friction points.

 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.
