Attention
Failure to be wearing a helmet in case of
accident increases the chance of serious injury and
even death.
Attention
Make sure that the helmet complies with safety
specifications, provides excellent visibility, is the
correct size for the head, and has the certification
label affixed to the helmet surface conforming to the
standards in force in your state. Road traffic laws
differ from state to state. Check the laws in force in
your country before riding the motorcycle and pay
strict adherence to them .

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, 10443 Bandley Drive
Cupertino, California, 95014, Tel: 001.408.253.0499,
Fax: 001.408.253.4099. If NHTSA receives similar
complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it
finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles,
10
it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However,
NHTSA cannot become involved in individual
problems between you, your dealer, or Ducati North
America. To contact NHTSA, you may either call the
Auto Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-800-424-9393 (or
366-0123 in Washington, D.C. area) or write to:
NHTSA, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE W43-488,
Washington, D.C. 20590. You can also obtain other
information about motor vehicle safety from the
Hotline.

Rider education

Accidents are frequently due to inexperience. Riding,
maneuvering and or braking are carried out differently
from other vehicles.
Attention
A rider's lack of preparation or an inappropriate
use of the vehicle may result in a loss of control, death
or serious damage.

Clothing

Clothing in the use of the motorcycle plays an
important role in safety, as the motorcycle provides
a person no protection from impact in the same way
as an automobile.
