The air box is accessible after lifting the fuel tank as described on page 40. To remove the filter, release the cover clips (1) on both sides of the air box and take off the cover (2). Remove the filter cartridge (3, fig. 27.2) and fit a new one.
Checking brake and clutch fluid level (fig. 28) Fluid level should never fall below the MIN mark on each reservoir. 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 (see Warranty Card) by a Ducati Dealer or Authorized Workshop. E 620/750 Important It is recommended all brake and clutch tubes be changed every four years.
Clutch system If the control lever has exceeding play and the transmission snatches or jams as you try to engage a gear, it means that there is air in the circuit. Contact a Ducati Dealer or Authorized Workshop to have the system inspected and air drained out. Warning Brake fluid level will increase as clutch plate friction material wears down. Do not exceed specified level (3 mm above minimum level). Checking brake pads for wear (fig.
E Lubricating cables and joints The condition of the outer sheaths of the throttle and fast-idle cables should be checked at regular intervals. The sheaths should show no signs of squeezing or cracking. Work the controls to make sure the cable slides smoothly inside the sheath: if you feel any friction or hard spots, have the cable replaced by a Ducati Dealer or Authorized Workshop. To prevent these failures, smear the end of the Bowden cables with SHELL Advance Grease or Retinax LX2 at regular intervals.
2÷4 mm ➤ ➤ Throttle cable adjustment The throttle twistgrip must have a free play of 2 - 4 mm, measured at the edge of the twistgrip and at all positions of the handlebars. If it needs adjusting, use the suitable adjuster(s) (1, fig. 31) provided on the throttle control. E 1 620/750 1 900 fig.
Charging the battery (fig. 32) Before charging the battery, it is best to remove it from the motorcycle. Always disconnect the black negative terminal (-) first, and then the red positive terminal (+). Undo the straps (1) and remove the battery. E Warning Batteries develop explosive gases: keep battery away from heat sources and flames. Charge the battery in a well ventilated room. Connect the battery charger leads to the battery terminals (red to positive terminal +, black to negative terminal -).
Chain tensioning Turn the rear wheel slowly until you find the position where chain tension is highest. With the motorcycle on the side stand, push the chain up pressing with a finger at the point where it intersects with swing arm centerline. The lower portion of the chain should have a slack as follows (fig. 33.1): 25- 27 mm (620/750); 30- 32mm (900). To adjust chain tension, slacken the nut (1, fig. 33.2) of the wheel spindle.
Chain lubrication The chain fitted on your motorcycle has O-rings that keep dirt out of and lubricant inside the sliding parts. The seals might be irreparably damaged if the chain is cleaned using non-specific solvents or washed using steam or water jets. Dry the chain using compressed air or absorbent material and apply SHELL Advance Chain or Advance Teflon Chain on each link. E Important Using non-specific lubricants may lead to severe damage to chain, front and rear sprocket.
Note Never touch the transparent body of the new bulb with your fingers or it will blacken resulting in reduced bulb brilliancy. Insert the locating pegs of the bulb base into their seats to obtain correct alignment; hook the clip (3) to the headlamp holders. Reconnect the cables. To change the parking light bulb, withdraw the bulb holder (4, fig. 35). The bulb is of the bayonet-type: press and rotate anti-clockwise to remove.
Turn indicators (fig. 36) Remove the screw (1) and detach the glass (2) from the body. The bulb is of the bayonet-type: press and rotate anticlockwise to remove. Fit the spare bulb by pressing and turning clockwise until it clicks. Refit the glass sliding the small tab (A) into the suitable slot in the indicator body. Tighten the screw (1). E Stop light (fig. 37) To replace the stop and parking light bulb, unscrew the two screws (1) that secure the glass (2). Remove the glass.
Headlamp alignment (fig. 38.1) When checking headlamp alignment, 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 meters 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 Tyres Front pressure 2.1 bar - 2.3 Kg/sq cm Rear pressure: 2.2 bar - 2.4 Kg/sq cm 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. 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. 39) 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 for detecting 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.
620/750 900 Important Engine oil and oil filters must be changed by a Ducati Dealer or Authorized Workshop at regular intervals, as specified in the routine maintenance chart (see Warranty Card). Viscosity SAE 10W-40 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. 40 10W Multigrade Unigrade E Checking engine oil level (fig.
Cleaning and replacing the spark plugs (fig. 41) 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 spark plug caps from the cylinder head using the wrench supplied with the bike. 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. Never clean the motorcycle using hot or high-pressure water jets.
Storing the bike away If the motorcycle is to be left unridden over long periods, it is advisable to carry out the following operations before storing it away: clean the motorcycle; remove the drain plug and seal and drain all fuel from 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 so a protective film of oil will spread on cylinder inner walls; place the motorcycle on the service stand; disconnect and remove the battery.

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.
