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. E 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 3-mm (0.12-in.) Allen wrench to adjust rebound damping. To reach the adjuster (3), insert a 3-mm (0.12-in.
STANDARD factory setting is as follows: compression: 10 clicks; rebound: 12 clicks. E Max. setting for softest damping adjustment is 24 clicks for rebound and 28 clicks for 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 0 to 18.5 mm/0 to 0.73 in. Factory setting is 10 mm/ 0.39 in. Important Adjust both fork legs to same settings.
Shock absorber adjusters (fig. 18) The 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 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).

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.
E Tubeless tyres Tyre pressure Front: 2.2 bar - 2.24 Kg/sq cm Rear: 2.4 bar - 2.44 Kg/sq cm 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. Important Check and adjust tyre pressure when tyres are cold. To avoid front wheel rim distortion, when riding on bumpy roads, increase tyre pressure by 0.2 - 0.3 bar.
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. E fig.
1 2 Important Engine oil and oil filters must be changed by a Ducati Dealer or Authorized Workshop at regular intervals (see page 38), as specified in the maintenance schedule. Viscosity SAE 20W-50 The other viscosity degrees indicated in the table can be used if the local average temperature is within the limits specified for that oil viscosity. fig. 41 10W Multigrade Unigrade E Checking engine oil level (fig.
Cleaning and replacing the spark plugs (fig. 42) Spark plugs are essential to smooth engine running and should be checked at regular intervals. This is done quite easily and quickly and provides a good measure of engine condition. Remove the l.h. body panel, remove the spark plug caps from the cylinder head using the wrench supplied with the motorcycle. Check the color of the insulating ceramic material of the central electrode: a light brown, even color is a sign of good engine condition.
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. E 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.
