Ducati superbike 899 panigale Owner's Manual page 208

Attention
The side stand must be fully up (in a horizontal
position), as its safety sensor prevents engine start
when down.
Note
The engine can be started with side stand down
and the gearbox in neutral. When starting the bike
with a gear engaged, pull the clutch lever (in this case
the side stand must be up).
Important
Do not rev up the engine when it is cold. Allow
some time for oil to be heated and reach all points
that need lubricating.
Check that the stop switch (3) is positioned to (RUN),
then press the starter button (4).
