Side stand (fig. 15) Important Before lowering the side stand, make sure that the bearing surface is hard and flat. Warning The motorcycle can be started only if the side stand is up as its safety device prevents engine start when the stand is down. Do not park on soft or pebbled ground or on asphalt melt by the sun heat and similar or the motorcycle may fall over. When parking in downhill road tracts, always park the motorcycle with its rear wheel facing downhill.
Steering damper (fig. 16) The steering damper is before the tank and is secured to the frame and the steering head. It gives improved steering accuracy and stability, thus also improving motorcycle road behavior under any riding conditions. Turn the knob (1) clockwise for a harder setting (2), counter clockwise for a softer setting (3). A click identifies the different settings. Warning Never attempt to set knob (1) while riding, or you may lose control of the motorcycle.
Front fork adjusters The front fork has rebound and compression damping adjusters. This adjustment is done using the outer adjusters: 1) (fig. 17.1) to adjust rebound damping; 2) (fig. 17.1) to adjust inner springs preload; 3) (fig. 17.2) to adjust compression damping. Put and secure the motorcycle in vertical position. Turn the adjuster (1) on fork leg top with a flat screwdriver to adjust rebound damping.
STANDARD factory setting is as follows: compression: 12 clicks; rebound: 11 clicks. Max. setting range for softest damping adjustment is 14 clicks (both for rebound and compression). To change the preload of the spring inside each fork leg, turn the hex. adjusting nut (2) with a 22-mm (0.87-in.) hexagon wrench. Preload setting range (A, fig. 17.1) is from 25 to 10 mm/0.98 to 0.39 in. Factory setting is 20 mm/0.79 in. Important Adjust both fork legs to same settings.
Rear shock absorber adjusters (fig. 18) The rear shock absorber has outer adjusters that enable you to adjust your motorcycle to the load. The adjuster (1) located on the left side, on the connection holding the shock absorber to the swingarm, controls rebound damping. The adjuster (2) on the rear shock absorber expansion reservoir controls compression damping. Turn the adjusters (1 and 2) clockwise to increase damping, anticlockwise to reduce it.
Changing motorcycle track alignment (fig. 19.2) Motorcycle track alignment is the result of tests carried out under different riding conditions by our technical staff. Modifying factory setting is a very delicate operation, which may lead to serious damages if carried out by unskilled people. Before changing standard setting, measure the reference value (H, fig. 19.1).

MAIN MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS Side body panels (fig. 25) To remove the body panels proceed as follows: disconnect the two connectors (1) joining the two body panels together; disconnect the four headlamp fairing connectors (2); disconnect the four frame connectors (3). Removing the fairing Some servicing operations need the motorcycle fairing to be removed.
Headlamp fairing fig. 26.2) Undo the middle fastening screw (1, fig. 26.1) of the wing mirrors and remove them from the headlamp fairing supports. Undo the two fastening screws (2) of the headlight support and disconnect the four connectors (3) joining the two body panels together. Important At reassembly, apply “medium-strength threadlocker” onto the screw threading (1). 1 fig. 26.1 2 3 fig. 26.
Cleaning and changing air filters (fig. 27.2) Replace air filters at the required intervals shown in the routine maintenance chart (see page 37). The air box is accessible after removing the body panels and the headlamp fairing (see page 39 and 40). Undo the eight fastening screws of the outer cover (1, fig. 27.1). Remove the cover but leave it hanging from the turn indicator cable. Remove the filter (2, fig. 27.2) from its seat on the inner cover (3).
Checking the coolant level (fig. 28.1) Check the coolant level in the expansion reservoir, on the LH side of the motorcycle. The coolant level must be between the MAX and MIN marks. Top up if the level is too low. Remove the l.h. body panel and the fuel tank. Lift the tail guard and undo the rear screw (2, fig. 28.2). Remove the tank from its front clamping by pulling the tank backwards. Move it to the right leaving fuel tubing connected. Unscrew the filler (1, fig. 28.
Checking brake and clutch fluid level Fluid level should never fall below the MIN mark on each reservoir (fig. 29). If level drops below the limit, air might get into the circuit and affect the operation of the system involved. Brake and clutch fluid must be topped up and changed at the intervals specified in the routine maintenance chart by a Ducati Dealer or Authorized Workshop. Important It is recommended all brake and clutch tubes be changed every four years.
Checking brake pads for wear (fig. 30) To facilitate inspection without removing the pads from the calipers, brake pads have a wear mark. If the grooves in the friction material are still visible, the pad is still in good condition. Important Have the brake pads replaced at a Ducati Dealer or Authorized Workshop. Lubricating cables and joints The condition of the outer sheaths of the throttle and fast-idle cables should be checked at regular intervals.
Throttle cable adjustment The throttle twistgrip must have a free play of 1.5 - 2 mm/ 0.06-0.09 in. measured at the edge of the twistgrip, at all positions of the handlebars. If it needs adjusting, use the suitable adjuster (2, fig. 31) provided on the throttle control. 2 1,5 ÷ 2 mm 1 fig.
Checking battery electrolyte level (fig. 32) Remove the r.h. body panel to check battery liquid level (see page 39). Battery liquid level must be maintained between the maximum (UPPER LEVEL) and minimum (LOWER LEVEL) marks on battery front. If battery liquid level is too low, remove the caps (1) and top up carefully with distilled water up to the upper level line, using a small syringe or a plastic funnel. When adding distilled water, make sure the breather tube (2) is connected to battery breather outlet.
Charging the battery (fig. 32) Before charging the battery, it is best to remove it from the motorcycle. Remove the r.h. body panel (page 39), undo the screw (3) and remove the upper bracket.

Refit the glass sliding the small tab (A) into the suitable slot in the indicator body and tighten the screw (1). 2 A Number plate and stop light (fig.
Beam setting (fig. 39.1) When checking the beam setting, put the motorcycle upright. Tyres should be inflated at the correct pressure and one person should be sitting astride the motorcycle, keeping it at right angles to its longitudinal axis. Place the motorcycle opposite a wall or a screen, 10 meters (394 in.) apart from it, then draw a horizontal line dictated by headlamp center and a vertical one in line with the longitudinal axis of motorcycle. If possible, perform this check in dim light.
Tubeless tyres Tyre pressure Front: 2.1 bar - 2.3 Kg/sq cm (31.6 psi) Rear: 2.2 bar - 2.4 Kg/sq cm (34.5 psi) As tyre pressure is affected by temperature and altitude variations, you are advised to check and adjust it whenever you are riding in areas where ample variations in temperature or altitude occur.
Minimum tread depth Measure tread depth (S, fig. 40) at the point where tread is most worn down. It should not be less than 2 mm/0.078 in. and anyway not below the legal limit. Important Visually inspect the tyres at regular intervals for detecting cracks and cuts, especially on the side walls, bulges or large spots that are indicative of internal damage. Replace them if badly damaged. Remove any stones or other foreign bodies caught in the tread. fig.
Checking engine oil level (fig. 41) Engine oil level can be checked through the sight glass (1) provided on the clutch cover. When checking oil level, the motorcycle should be upright and the engine warm. Allow a few minutes for oil to settle to a steady level after stopping the engine. Oil level should be between the marks near 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. Refit the plug.
Important If the gap needs adjusting, be very careful when bending the side electrode. If gap is too wide or too close, engine performance will be affected. This could also cause difficult starting or irregular idling. Clean the electrode and the insulating material accurately using a small metal brush and check seal condition. Clean the seat in the cylinder head. Be careful not to let any foreign matters fall into the combustion chamber. Refit spark plug into cylinder head.
Cleaning the motorcycle To preserve the finish of metal parts and paintwork, wash and clean your motorcycle at regular intervals, anyway according to the road conditions you ride in. Use specific products only. Prefer biodegradable products. Avoid aggressive detergents or solvents. Important Do not wash your motorcycle right after use. When the motorcycle is still hot, water drops will evaporate faster and spot hot surfaces. Do not use high pressure water jets.

stop screw. The Exhaust Emission Control System is separate from the crankcase emission control system. Crankcase Emission Control System The engine is equipped with a closed crankcase system to prevent discharging crankcase emissions into the atmosphere. Blow-by gas is returned to the combustion chamber through the air cleaner and the throttle body.
Riding safety The points given below are applicable for every day motorcycle use and shoud be carefully observed for safe and effective vehicle operation. A motorcycle does not provide the impact protection of an automobile, so defensive riding in addition to wearing protective apparel is extremely important. Do not let protective apparel give you a false sense of security. Before changing lanes, look over your shoulder to make sure the way is clear.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions. Refuel in a well ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks when refuelling or servicing the fuel system. Always close the fuel petcock when the engine is not running to prevent flooding of the throttle body. Do not overfill fuel tank (see instructions page 34). Motorcycle exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas.
