Introduction
Safety guidelines
We would like to welcome you among Ducati
enthusiasts, and congratulate you on your excellent
choice of motorcycle. We think you will ride your
Ducati motorcycle for long journeys as well as short
daily trips. Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A. wishes you
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
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 chart, see page 221.
Our highly skilled staff have access to special
implements and appropriate equipment required to
perform any servicing job at best, and use Ducati
original spare parts 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
partially, will make the warranty null and void effective
immediately. Improper or poor maintenance, using
other than original spare parts or parts not expressly
approved by Ducati may invalidate your warranty
rights and lead to damage or loss of performance.
Your safety and that of other road users are very
important. Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A. recommends
that you ride responsibly.
Before using your motorcycle for the first time, read
this entire manual carefully and closely follow the
guidelines outlined in it. The manual provides full
information on proper motorcycle operation and
maintenance. In case of any doubts, please contact a
Dealer or Authorised Service Centre.

Warning symbols used in the manual
Several kinds of warnings are used as an alert of the
possible hazards for you or other persons such as:
- Safety labels on the motorcycle;
- Safety messages preceded by a warning symbol
and either WARNING or IMPORTANT.
Warning
Failure to comply with these instructions may
put you at risk, and could lead to severe injury or even
death of the rider or other persons.
Important
Possibility of damaging the motorcycle and/or
its components.
Note
Additional information about the current
operation.
The terms RIGHT and LEFT are referred to the
motorcycle viewed from the riding position.
Intended use
Warning
This motorcycle is designed for on-road use,
may be used occasionally on dirt trail. Usage in
conditions for which it was not designed (e.g. heavy
off-road use) can lead to loss of control of the
motorcycle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Warning
This motorcycle may not be used to tow any
trailers or with a side-car attached; this can lead to
loss of control and result in an accident.
This motorcycle carries the rider and can carry a
passenger.
Warning
The total weight of the motorcycle in running
order and at full load, including rider, passenger,
luggage and additional accessories should not exceed
396kg/873lb.

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.
Rider's obligations
All riders must hold a valid licence.
Warning
Riding without a licence is illegal and is
prosecuted by law. Always make sure you have your
licence with you when riding. Do not let
inexperienced riders or persons without a valid
licence use your motorcycle.
Do not ride under the influence of alcohol and/or
drugs.
Warning
Riding under the influence of alcohol and/or
drugs is illegal and is prosecuted by law.
Do not take prescription or other drugs before riding
unless you have consulted your doctor about their
side effects.
Warning
Some medications and drugs may cause
drowsiness or other effects that slow down reaction
time and the rider's ability to control the motorcycle,
possibly leading to an accident.
Some states require vehicle insurance.
Warning
Check your state laws. Obtain insurance
coverage and keep your insurance document secure
with the other motorcycle documents.
To protect rider and passenger safety, some states
mandate the use of a certified helmet.
