Owner’s manual

Owner's manual US/CANADA

We'd like to welcome you among Ducati enthusiasts and congratulate you on your excellent choice of

motorcycle. We imagine you'll be riding your Ducati motorcycle for long trips as well as short daily excursions.

Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A. wishes you smooth and enjoyable riding.

Your motorcycle is the result of constant research and development by Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A., so it's

important that the standard of quality is upheld through careful observance of the scheduled maintenance

chart and the use of original spare parts. In the Owner's Manual you'll find instructions for performing small

maintenance procedures. The most important servicing and maintenance procedures are contained in the

Service Manual available at Authorized Service Centers of Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A..

In your own interest and safety, and in order to guarantee product reliability, we strongly recommend that you

go to an Authorized Dealer or Service Center for any servicing included on the scheduled maintenance chart,

see page 310.

Our highly skilled staff has access to the special tools and equipment needed to perform any servicing

procedure with expertise. They use only Ducati original spare parts as the best guarantee for full

interchangeability, smooth running and long life.

All Ducati motorcycles come with a Warranty Booklet. The Warranty does not extend to motorcycles used in

competitions or competitive trials. Any tampering or even partial modification of the components will result in

automatic invalidation of Warranty rights. Incorrect or insufficient servicing procedures, use of non-original

spare parts or parts not explicitly approved by Ducati may lead to the invalidation of the Warranty, besides

potential damage and reduced performance.

Enjoy your ride!

Introduction

Safety guidelines

Your safety and that of others are very important.

Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A. urges you to ride your

motorcycle responsibly.

Before using your motorcycle for the first time, please

read this manual carefully from start to finish and

closely follow the guidelines. This will allow you to

obtain all information regarding a correct use and

maintenance. If you have any doubts or questions,

consult a Dealer or Authorized Service Center.

Warning symbols used in the manual

Different forms of information regarding potential

hazards that may affect you or others have been used.

These include:

- Safety stickers on the motorcycle;

- Safety warnings preceded by a warning symbol

and by one or the two words CAUTION or

IMPORTANT.

Attention

Failure to observe these instructions may lead

to a hazardous situation and cause severe injury to the

rider or others, or even death.

Important

Possibility of damaging the motorcycle and/or

its components.

Note

Additional information regarding the job being

performed.

The terms RIGHT and LEFT are referred to the

motorcycle viewed from the riding position.

Intended use

This motorcycle must be used only on road surfaces

with asphalt or flat and even pavement.

This motorcycle may not be used on dirt roads or for

off-road riding.

Attention

Using the bike off-road may cause the rider to

lose control, which in turn may lead to vehicle

damage, injury or death.

Attention

This motorcycle must not be used for towing or

for the addition of a sidecar, since this may cause a

loss or control and consequent accident.

This motorcycle carries the rider and can carry a

passenger.

Attention

The total weight of the motorcycle in running

order with rider, passenger, baggage and additional

accessories must not exceed 859lb/ 390kg.

Important

Using the motorcycle under extreme

conditions, such as very damp and muddy roads or

dusty and dry environment, could cause above-

average wear of components like the drive system,

the brakes or the air filter. If the air filter is dirty, the

engine could get damaged. Therefore, this might

translate in required service or replacement of the

wear parts earlier than specified in the scheduled

maintenance chart.
