Immobilizer system To further improve the anti-theft protection, the motorcycle is equipped with an engine electronic block system (IMMOBILIZER) that is automatically activated every time the instrument panel is switched off. Inside of each key handgrip there is an electronic device that modulates the signal sent by a special antenna integrated in the ignition switch upon starting.
Keys The motorcycle comes with 2 keys. They contain the "Immobilizer system code". Keys (B) are those for the standard use, i.e. to: start the engine; open the fuel tank plug; open the seat lock. Warning Separate the keys and use only one of the two to ride the bike.
Every time you turn the key from ON to OFF, the protection system activates the engine block. If also in this case you are not able to start the engine, contact an authorised Ducati service centre. Warning Strong impacts could damage the electronic components inside the key.
The Ducati authorised service centre will program all new and old keys. The Ducati authorised service centre may ask to the customer to prove to be the motorcycle owner. The codes of the keys missing during the programming procedure will be erased to ensure that any lost key can not start the engine.

Clutch lever Lever (1) disengages the clutch. When clutch lever (1) is operated, the drive from the engine to the gearbox and the drive wheel is disengaged. Using the clutch properly is essential to smooth riding, especially when moving off. Important Using the clutch properly will avoid damage to transmission parts and spare the engine.
Page 106
Clutch control free play adjustment Warning A wrong adjustment can seriously affect the clutch operation and service life. A worn clutch tensions the clutch cable. Always check the free play, with cold engine, before using the vehicle. When operating the clutch lever, you must clearly feel the passage from a very low resistance to a very high resistance (operating force).

Side stand Important Place the motorcycle on the side stand only when you are not going to use it for short periods of time. Before lowering the side stand, make sure that the bearing surface is hard and flat. Do not park on soft or pebbled ground or on asphalt melt by the sun heat and similar or the motorcycle may fall over.
USB connection The motorcycle is equipped with a USB 5V connection. Loads up to 1A can be connected to the USB connection. USB connection (1) is located under the seat and is protected by a flap: lift flap to use connection. Important When the engine is off and key set to ON, do not leave accessories connected to the USB socket...
Adjusting the rear shock absorber The rear shock absorber has adjusters that enable you to suit the setting to the load on the motorcycle. The ring nut (A), located in the shock absorber upper side, adjusts the external spring preload. To change spring preload, turn the ring nut (A) using the supplied pin wrench, and align ring nut cam with the reference notch (B).
Page 121
Warning To turn the preload adjuster ring nut use the wrench supplied with the tool kit. Pay attention to avoid hand injuries by hitting motorcycle parts in case the wrench tooth suddenly slips on the ring nut cam while moving it. Warning The shock absorber is filled with gas under pressure and may cause severe damage if taken apart...
Riding the motorcycle For all mechanical parts of the motorcycle to adapt to one another and above all not to adversely affect the life of basic engine parts, it is advisable to avoid harsh accelerations and not to run the engine at high rpm for too long, especially uphill.
Page 123
During the whole running-in period, the maintenance and service rules recommended in the Warranty Card should be observed carefully. Failure to follow these instructions releases Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A. from any liability whatsoever for any 1.000 ÷ 2.500 Km 0 ÷ 1.000 Km engine damage or shorter engine life.
Pre-ride checks LIGHTS AND INDICATORS Make sure lights, indicators and horn work properly. Replace any burnt-out bulbs (page 90). Warning KEY LOCKS Failure to carry out these checks before riding, Ensure that tank filler plug (page 115) and seat may lead to motorcycle damage and injury to rider (page 116) are properly locked.
Page 125
When the motorcycle speed exceeds 5 km/h, the warning light switches OFF to indicate the correct operation of the ABS system. Warning In case of malfunction, do not ride the motorcycle and contact a Ducati Dealer or authorised Service Centre. Fig. 82...
ABS device Check that the front (1) and rear (2) phonic wheels are clean. Warning Clogged reading slots would compromise system proper operation. It is recommended to disable ABS system in case of muddy road surface because under this condition the system might be subject to sudden failure.
Starting the engine Warning Before starting the engine, become familiar with the controls you will need to use when riding. Warning Never start or run the engine indoors. Exhaust gases are poisonous and may lead to loss of consciousness or even death within a short time. Move the ignition switch to (1, Fig.
Page 128
Warning The side stand must be fully up (in a horizontal position) as its safety sensor prevents engine starting when down. Note It is possible to start the engine with side stand down and the gearbox in neutral. When starting the motorcycle with a gear engaged, pull the clutch lever (in this case the side stand must be up).
Moving off Warning 1) Squeeze the control lever to disengage the Avoid harsh acceleration, as this may lead to clutch. misfiring and transmission snatching. The clutch 2) Push down on gear change lever sharply with the lever should not be held in longer than necessary tip of your foot to engage the first gear.

Page 131
Warning When ABS is disabled, the motorcycle restores the standard brake system features; using the two brake controls separately reduces the motorcycle braking efficiency. Never use the brake controls harshly or suddenly as you may lock the wheels and lose control of the motorcycle. When riding in the rain or on slippery surfaces, braking will become less effective.
Stopping the motorcycle Reduce speed, shift down and release the throttle twistgrip. Shift down to engage first gear and then neutral. Apply the brakes and bring the motorcycle to a complete stop. To switch the engine off, simply turn the key to position (2).
Parking Stop the motorcycle, then put it on the side stand. To prevent theft, turn the handlebar fully left and turn the ignition key to position (3). If you park in a garage or other indoor area, make sure that there is proper ventilation and that the motorcycle is not near a source of heat.
Refuelling Never overfill the tank when refuelling. Fuel should never be touching the rim of filler recess (1). Warning Use fuel with low lead content and an original octane number of at least 95. Warning The motorcycle is only compatible with fuel having a maximum content of ethanol of 10% (E10).
Tool kit and accessories The tool box (1) is located under the seat. The tool box includes: screwdriver; screwdriver handgrip; 3 mm Allen wrench; 4 mm Allen wrench; preload adjustment wrench; handgrip for preload adjustment wrench. To access the compartment remove the seat page 116.
Fluid must be topped up and changed at the intervals specified in the scheduled maintenance table reported in the Warranty Booklet; please contact a Ducati Dealer or authorised Service Centre. Important It is recommended all lines be changed every four years.
Brake system If you find exceeding clearance on brake lever or pedal and brake pads are still in good condition, contact your Ducati Dealer or authorised Service Centre to have the system inspected and any air drained out of the circuit.
