Foreword
We would like to welcome you among Ducati

smooth and enjoyable riding.
Your motorcycle is the result of Ducati Motor Holding
S.p.A.'s on-going research and development efforts.
It is important that you preserve its quality standard
by strictly observing the maintenance plan and using
genuine spare parts.
This manual provides instructions on minor
maintenance operations.
Major maintenance operations are described in the
Service Manual available to Ducati Authorised
Service Centres.
In your own interest, for your safety and in order to
guarantee product reliability, you are strongly advised
to refer to our authorised Dealers and Service
Centres for any operations listed in the scheduled

Our highly skilled staff have access to special

interchangeability, smooth running and long life.
All Ducati motorcycles come with a Warranty Card.
