maintenance operations. Major maintenance
operations are described in the Workshop 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 maintenance  (Routine maintenance
record).
Our highly skilled  have access to special
implements and appropriate equipment required to
 any servicing job at best, and use Ducati
original spare  only as the best guarantee for
full interchangeability, smooth running and long life.
All Ducati motorcycles come with a Warranty Card.
The warranty does not apply to motorcycles used in
racing competitions.
Tampering with or altering any components, even
 will make the warranty null and void
 immediately. Improper or poor
maintenance, using other than original spare 
or  not expressly approved by Ducati may
invalidate your warranty rights and lead to damage
or loss of 
Your safety and that of other road users are very
 Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A.
recommends that you ride responsibly.

guidelines outlined in it. The manual provides full
information on proper motorcycle operation and
7


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  the
engine could get damaged. Therefore, this might
translate in required service or replacement of the
wear  earlier than specified in the scheduled
maintenance 
Rider's obligations
All riders must hold a valid licence.


Some medications and drugs may cause
drowsiness or other  that slow down reaction
time and the rider's ability to control the motorcycle,
possibly leading to an accident.
Some states require vehicle insurance.

Check your state laws. Obtain insurance
coverage and keep your insurance document secure

Check your state laws. Riding without a helmet
may be punishable by law.

severe bodily injury or die if they are in an accident.
