General indications E Warranty Symbols Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A. advises you to read this manual carefully in order to familiarise yourself with your motorcycle. If in doubt, please contact a Ducati Dealer or Authorized Service Centre. You will find the information in the manual useful on trips (which Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A. hopes will be smooth and enjoyable), and it will help you obtain top performance from your motorcycle for a long time.
Useful road safety information Warning Read this section before riding your motorcycle. Many accidents are the result of the inexperience of the rider. Always make sure you have your licence with you; you need a valid licence that entitles you to ride a motorcycle. Do not lend your motorcycle to persons who are inexperienced or do not hold a valid licence. Riders and passengers must always wear appropriate clothing and a safety helmet.
Riding with a full load Your motorcycle is designed for travelling over long distances with a full load in complete safety. Even weight distribution is critical for maintaining safety standards and to avoid getting into difficulties when making sudden manoeuvres or riding on bumpy roads. E Information on load capacity The total weight of the motorcycle in running order with rider, luggage and additional accessories should not exceed 390 kg.
Identification data All Ducati motorcycles have two identification numbers, one for the frame (fig. 1) and one for the engine (fig. 2). Frame number Engine number E Notes These numbers indicate the motorcycle model and should be quoted when ordering spare parts. fig. 1 fig.

Brightness of warning lights The brightness of warning lights is adjusted automatically by the instrument panel according to the level of external light detected. Display backlight The instrument panel backlight is switched on only if the parking lights or low/high beam is on. In this case the instrument panel, using sensors that measure ambient temperature and light intensity, automatically turn the backlight on or off.
The immobilizer system E For additional anti-theft protection, the motorcycle is equipped with an IMMOBILIZER, an electronic system that locks the engine automatically whenever the ignition switch is turned off. The grip of each ignition key contains an electronic device that modulates the output signal from a special antenna in the switch when the ignition is switched On. The modulated signal represents the “password” (which is changed at each start-up) by which the ECU recognizes the ignition key.
Warning Keep the keys separate, and store the tag (1) in a safe place. It is also advisable to use only one of the black keys to start the motorcycle. Code card E A CODE CARD (fig. 25) is supplied with the keys. This shows the electronic code (A, fig. 26) that must be used if the engine is locked by the immobilizer and consequently does not start when the key is turned to ON. Warning Keep the CODE CARD in a safe place.
Immobilizer override procedure Should the immobilizer become locked, you can perform the “Immobilizer Override” procedure from the instrument panel by entering the respective function as follows: Select the “CODE” page from the menu. Notes E This menu should be active only if there is at least one immobilizer error. With this page selected, the initial code is always displayed as “00000”. If you hold the button (1, fig.
Entering the code: when you enter this function, the first digit on the left starts flashing. Button (1, fig. 8): each time you switch to position B “▼”, the number increases cyclically in steps of one digit every second. If you switch the button to position A “▲”, you can set the second digit, which will start flashing. Each time you switch to position B “▼”, the number increases cyclically in steps of one digit every second.
E Operation When the ignition key is turned from ON to OFF, the immobilizer system activates the engine lock. When the ignition key is turned from OFF to ON to start the engine: 1) if the code is recognised, the protection system releases the engine lock. When you press the START (2, fig. 31) button, the engine will start up. 2) if the motorcycle diagnostics warning light (9, fig. 4) comes on and if, when you switch the button (1, fig.

Clutch lever The lever (1) disengages the clutch. The span adjuster (2) serves to alter the distance of the lever from the handlebar. Lever distance is adjusted by 10 clicks of the knob (2). Turn the knob clockwise to move the lever away from twistgrip, or counter clockwise to move it closer. 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.
Right-hand handlebar switch (fig. 31) 1) Two-position ENGINE STOP switch position (RUN) = run; position (OFF) = stop engine. 3 Warning E This switch is mainly intended for use in emergencies when you need to stop the engine quickly. After stopping the engine, return the switch to the position to start the engine.
Front brake lever (fig. 32) Pull the lever (1) towards the twistgrip to operate the front brake. The system is hydraulically assisted and you only need to pull the lever gently. The brake lever has a knob (2) for adjusting the distance between lever and twistgrip on the handlebar. Lever distance is adjusted by 10 clicks of the knob (2). Turn the knob clockwise to move the lever away from twistgrip, or counter clockwise to move it closer. E 1 2 fig.
Rear brake pedal (fig. 33) Push down on the pedal (1) with your foot to operate the rear brake. The system is controlled hydraulically. 1 E fig. 33 Gearchange pedal (fig. 34) The gear change pedal is at rest when in centre position N, and automatically returns to the centre position. When in this position, light N (3, fig. 4) on instrument panel comes on. The pedal can be moved: down = push down on the pedal to engage 1st gear and to shift down. The N light on the instrument panel goes out.
Adjusting the position of the gear change and rear brake pedals (fig. 35 and fig. 36) The position of the gearchange and rear brake pedals in relation to the footrests can be adjusted to suit the requirements of the rider. To adjust the position, proceed as follows: restrain the tie-rod (1) and slacken the locknuts (2) and (3). E Notes The locknut (2) has a left-hand thread. Rotate the tie-rod (1) using an open-ended wrench on the flats to move the gearchange pedal to the required position.
E To adjust the position of the rear brake lever, proceed as follows: Loosen the locknut (4). Turn the pedal travel adjustment bolt (5) until the pedal is in the desired position. When finished, torque locknut (4) to 2.3 Nm. Operate the pedal by hand to check that there is 1.5 – 2 mm of freeplay before the brake bites If not, adjust the length of the master cylinder pushrod as follows. Slacken off the locknut (6) on the pushrod. Tighten the link on the fork (7) to increase play, or unscrew it to reduce.

Sidestand (fig. 42) Important Before lowering the side stand, make sure that the supporting surface is hard and flat. Do not park on soft or pebbled ground or on asphalt melted by the sun etc. or the motorcycle may fall over. When parking on a slope, always park with the rear wheel on the downhill side. To pull down the side stand, hold the motorcycle handlebars with both hands and push down the stand (1) with your foot until it is fully extended.
Steering damper (fig. 43.1 and fig. 43.2) The steering damper is located in front of the tank and secured to the frame and steering head. It helps improve steering accuracy and stability, and thus also improves ride quality in any riding conditions. E (1098S) Turn the knob (1) clockwise for a harder setting, anticlockwise for a softer setting. Each adjustment position is identified by a click. Warning (1098S) Never attempt to adjust the knob (1) while riding, or you may lose control of the motorcycle.
Front fork adjusters 1098 The front fork can be adjusted in rebound, compression and preload. The settings are adjusted by way of external adjuster screws: 1 1) to adjust rebound damping (fig. 44.1 and fig. 44.2); 2) to adjust inner spring preload (fig. 44.1 and fig. 44.2); 3) to adjust compression damping (fig. 45.1 and fig. 45.2). 2 Park the motorcycle in a stable position on its side stand.
The STANDARD factory settings are as follows: compression: 3/4 turns (1098), 8 clicks (1098S); rebound: 12 clicks (1098), 10 clicks (1098S). Spring preload: (A, fig. 35.1): 18 mm (1098), 8 mm (1098S). 3 To change the preload of the spring inside each fork leg, turn the hex. adjusting nut (2, fig. 44.1 and fig. 44.2) with a 22 mm hexagon wrench. E Important Adjust both fork legs to the same setting. fig. 45.1 1098 3 1098S 56 fig. 45.
Shock absorber adjusters (fig. 46.1 and fig. 46.2) The shock absorber has outer adjusters that enable you to adjust your motorcycle to the load. Adjuster (1), located on the left-hand side at the point at which the shock absorber is fixed to the swingarm, controls rebound damping. The adjuster (2) on the shock absorber expansion reservoir controls compression damping. Turn the adjusters (1 and 2) clockwise to stiffen the damping or anti-clockwise to soften it.
Once the desired spring preload has been set, lock down the upper ring nut. Warning E Use a pin wrench to turn the preload adjusting nut. Take special care when turning the nut, to avoid injuring your hand by striking it violently against other parts of the motorcycle if the wrench suddenly slips off the nut while turning. Warning The shock absorber is filled with gas under pressure and may cause severe damage if taken apart by unskilled persons.
Changing motorcycle track alignment (fig. 47, fig. 48 and fig. 49) Motorcycle track alignment is the result of tests carried out under different riding conditions by our technical staff. Modifying the frame geometry is a very critical operation, and can be dangerous if carried out by untrained persons. Before changing the standard setting, measure the reference value (H, fig. 47). E The rider can modify track alignment according to his/her needs by changing working position of the shock absorber.
The maximum distance that the UNIBALL end fitting (A) can be unscrewed from the tie-rod body is 5 threads, or 7.5 mm (B). B E A 60 fig.
Riding the motorcycle To allow all the mechanical moving parts in the motorcycle to adapt to one another, and to avoid shortening the life of the main engine components, it is advisable to avoid sudden acceleration and running the engine at high rpm for too long, especially uphill. It is also advisable to check the drive chain frequently and ensure that it is lubricated as required. E Running-in precautions Max. rpm (fig.
From 1000 to 2500 km At this point, you can ask for more power from the engine, being careful, however, never to exceed: 7000 min. 0 ÷ 1000 Km 1000 ÷ 2500 Km Important E Throughout the running-in period, be careful to stick to the recommended maintenance schedule and periodic service intervals indicated in the warranty booklet. Failure to follow these instructions releases Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A. from any liability whatsoever for any engine damage or shorter engine life.
Pre-ride checks Warning Failure to carry out these checks before starting may result in damage to the motorcycle and injury to the rider. Before starting, check the following points: Fuel level in the tank Check the fuel level in the tank. Re-fuel if necessary (page 68). Engine oil level Check the oil level in the sump through the sight glass. Top up if necessary (page 91). Brake and clutch fluid Check fluid level in the related reservoirs (page 76). Coolant Check coolant level in the expansion reservoir.
Starting the engine Warning Before starting the engine, familiarise yourself with the controls that you will use when riding (page 10). E Warning Never start or run the engine in an enclosed space. Exhaust gases are toxic and may lead to loss of consciousness or even death within a short time. 1) Move the ignition key to ON (fig. 51.1 and fig. 51.2). Check that both the green light N and the red light on the instrument panel come on. 1098 fig. 51.1 1098S fig. 51.

E Unscrew the two rear screws (1) securing the headlamp fairing to the headlamp bracket. Notes After refitting the headlamp fairing, refit the side body panels and rear-view mirrors. fig.
Checking and topping up the coolant (fig. 62) 3 Check the coolant level in the expansion reservoir on the right side of the motorcycle. It should be between the two marks (1) and (2). Mark (2) indicates MAX level, and mark (1) indicates MIN level. Top up if below the MIN level. 2 1 MAX Remove right-side body panel (page 71). Unscrew the plug (3, fig. 62) and add a mixture of water and SHELL Advance Coolant antifreeze or Glycoshell (35-40% volume) up to MAX mark.
Checking the brake and clutch fluid level E The level must not fall below the MIN mark on the corresponding reservoir (fig. 63) (the figure shows the front and rear brake fluid reservoirs). If level drops below the limit, air can get into the circuit and make the system ineffective. Brake and clutch fluid must be topped up and changed at the intervals specified in the routine maintenance table (see Warranty Card) by a Ducati Dealer or Authorized Workshop.
Clutch system If the control lever has excessive play and the transmission snatches or jams when engaging a gear, then there is probably air in the circuit. Contact a Ducati Dealer or Authorized Workshop, who will check the system and bleed the circuit. Warning The level of clutch fluid tends to increase in the reservoir as the friction material on the clutch plates wears out. Do not exceed the specified level (3 mm above the minimum level). E fig.
Checking brake pads for wear MIN (fig. 65.1 and fig. 65.2) 1 mm The brake pads are marked with wear indicators so that they can be checked without removing them from the calipers. If the grooves in the friction material are still visible, the pad is still in good condition. E Important Have the brake pads replaced at a Ducati Dealer or Authorized Workshop. 1098 1 mm 1098S 78 fig. 65.1 fig. 65.
Lubricating cables and joints The condition of the outer sheath on the throttle and cold start cables should be checked at regular intervals. The outer cables should show no signs of kinking or cracking. Operate the controls to make sure the inner cables slide smoothly inside the outer cables: if you feel any friction or catching, have the cable replaced by a Ducati Dealer or Authorized Service Centre.
E 1,5÷2 mm ➤ The throttle twistgrip must have free travel of 1.5–2.0 mm (measured on the twistgrip rim) in all steering positions. If necessary, adjust using the adjusters (1 and 2, fig. 68) located on the steering tube on the left side of the motorcycle. The adjuster (1) is for throttle opening, and adjuster (2) is for throttle closing. Peel back the sleeves to access the adjusters and slacken the locknuts.
Charging the battery (fig. 69) Warning Before charging the battery, it is best to remove it from the motorcycle. Remove the left-hand body panel (page 71), unscrew the screw (1) and remove the mounting bracket (2). Always disconnect the black negative terminal first, then the red positive terminal (+). Keep the battery out of the reach of children. Charge the battery at 0.9 A for 5 to 10 hours. E Warning The battery produces explosive gases: keep it away from heat sources and flames.
Checking the chain tension (fig. 70) Important Important Using non-specific lubricants may cause severe damage to the chain and the front and rear sprocket. Have the chain tensioned at a Ducati Dealer or Authorized Workshop. With the motorcycle on the side stand, press down the chain with a finger. Then release and measure the distance between the surface of the shoe and the centre of the pin below it. The reading should be between 33 and 35 mm.
Changing the high and low beam bulbs 1 Before replacing a burnt-out bulb, make sure that the new one matches the voltage and wattage specifications in the “Electrical System” paragraph on page 106. Always check that the new bulb works before refitting removed parts. Figure 71 shows the position of the low beam (LO), high beam (HI) and parking light (1) bulbs. LO HI E Headlight To gain access to the left-hand bulb, remove the cover (2) (see page 74) by pressing the lever (A).
Notes The main wiring harness cable does not need to be disconnected to replace the headlight bulbs. Notes E Be careful to hold the new bulb at the base only. Never touch the transparent body with your fingers; this could darken it and thus reduce the brightness. Refitting After changing the burnt-out bulb, replace the cover and close it by pressing it against the lever.
Changing the parking light bulb To reach the parking lights (1), place your hand inside the headlight support and take the bulb-holders out of their seats. Turn the bulb retaining ring (1) anti-clockwise and remove the burnt-out bulb. Renew the burnt-out bulb. On refitting, turn the bulbs (1) clockwise to secure. 1 E fig.
Rear turn signal indicators (fig. 74) E To change the rear turn signal indicator bulbs, give the indicator body (1) a quarter turn, hold it with the lens upward and take it out of the indicator support. The bulb has a bayonet-type end fitting: to remove it, push it in and turn it counter-clockwise. Push in the new bulb and turn it clockwise until it clicks into place. Refit the indicator body (3) to its support and rotate it by a quarter of a turn. 1 2 fig. 74 Number plate light (fig.
Headlight aim (fig. 76) To check the headlight aim, place the motorcycle upright with the tyres inflated to the correct pressure and one person sitting astride the motorcycle. The motorcycle should be perfectly vertical, with its longitudinal axis at right angles to a wall or screen at a distance of 10 metres. Draw a horizontal line at the height of the centre of the headlamp and a vertical one at the longitudinal axis of the motorcycle. If possible, perform this check in conditions of low ambient light.
E The horizontal position of the left-hand headlamp is set by means of the adjusting screw (1, fig. 77) behind the headlamp. Turn the screw clockwise and the beam will shift to the right; turning the screw anti-clockwise will shift the beam to the left. The vertical position of the left-hand headlamp is set by means of the adjusting screw (2, fig. 77) behind the headlamp. Turn the screw clockwise to lower the beam or anti-clockwise to raise it. Repeat the above procedure to adjust the right-hand headlamp.
Tubeless tyres Front tyre pressure: 2.1 bar – 2.3 kg/cm2 Rear tyre pressure: 2.2 bar – 2.4 kg/cm2 Tyre pressures are affected by temperature and altitude variations, so you are advised to check and adjust them whenever you are riding in areas with wide variations in temperature or altitude. Important Check and adjust the pressures with the tyres cold. To prevent distortion of the front wheel rim, increase tyre pressure by 0.2 - 0.3 bar when riding on bumpy roads.
Minimum tread depth Measure the tread depth (S, fig. 79) at the point where the tread is most worn. It should not be less than 2 mm, and in any case not less than the legal limit. S Important E Visually inspect the tyres at regular intervals for cracks and cuts, especially on the side walls, and bulges or large stains that indicate internal damage. Replace them if badly damaged. Remove any stones or other foreign bodies stuck in the tread. fig.
Checking the engine oil level (fig. 80) Check the engine oil level through the sight glass (1) on the clutch cover. When checking oil level, the motorcycle should be upright and the engine cold. Oil level should be between the marks next to the sight glass. Top up oil level with SHELL Advance Ultra 4, if low. Undo the filler plug (2) and top up to correct level. Replace the filler cap.
(fig. 81) E Spark plugs are an important part of the engine and should be checked at regular intervals. Spark plug condition provides a good measure of engine condition. Have the spark plugs inspected or replaced at a Ducati Dealer or Authorized Workshop. Firstly, they will check the colour of the ceramic insulator of the central electrode: an even brown colour is a sign that the engine is in good running order. Notes Secondly, they will check the central electrode for wear and measure electrode gap.
General cleaning To preserve the original shine on metal surfaces and paintwork, wash and clean your motorcycle at regular intervals depending on the type of use and according to the particular road conditions. Use specific products, where possible biodegradable. Avoid aggressive detergents or solvents. Warning There may be loss of braking efficiency immediately after washing the motorcycle. Never grease or lubricate the brake discs as this would cause loss of braking effectiveness.
E Storing the motorcycle Important notes If the motorcycle is to be left unused for a long period, it is advisable to carry out the following operations first: clean the motorcycle; drain the fuel from fuel tank; pour a few drops of engine oil into the cylinders through the spark plug seats, then crank the engine by hand a few times to form a protective film of oil on the cylinder inner walls; place the motorcycle on the paddock stand; disconnect and remove the battery.
