Beam setting (fig. 49) When checking for proper 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 and opposite a wall or a screen, 10 metres apart from it. Then draw a horizontal line dictated by headlamp centre and a vertical one in line with the longitudinal axis of motorcycle. If possible, perform this check in dim light.
E Tyres Front tyre pressure 2.1-2.2 bar Rear tyre pressure: 2.1-2.3 bar Tyre repair or replacement In the event of a tiny puncture, tubeless tyres will take a long time to deflate, as they tend to keep air inside. If you find low pressure on one tyre, check the tyre for punctures. 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. 51) at the point where tread is most worn down. It should not be less than 2 mm and anyway not below the legal limit. Important Visually inspect the tyres at regular intervals to detect cracks or cuts, on the side walls especially, 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.
2 1 MAX MIN Important Engine oil and oil filters must be changed by a Ducati Dealer or Authorised Workshop at regular intervals, as specified in the routine maintenance chart (see Warranty Booklet).

FOR UNITED STATES OF AMERICA VERSION ONLY USA E Reporting of safety defects If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying Ducati North America. If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign.
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. Evaporative Emission Control System California motorcycles are equipped with an evaporative emission control system which consists of a charcoal canister and associated piping. This system prevents the escape of fuel vapors from the throttle body and fuel tank.
USA E 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.
Warning Do not ride the motorcycle with helmets attached to the hook; the helmets could cause an accident by distracting the operator or interfering with normal vehicle operation. The exhaust system becomes very hot during operation, never touch the exhaust system. Wear clothing that fully covers your legs. Do not wear loose clothing which could catch on the control levers, footrests, wheels, or chain. Any amount of alcohol will significantly interfere with your ability to safely operate your motorcycle.
