Storing The Motorcycle - Ducati SUPERBIKE 899 PANIGALE Owner's Manual

Warning
The headlight might fog up due to washing, rain
or moisture. Switch headlight on for a short time to
dry up any condensate.
Carefully clean the phonic wheels of the ABS so to
ensure system efficiency. Do not use aggressive
products so to avoid damaging the phonic wheels and
the sensors.
Note
Do not use alcohol or alcohol-derived products
to clean the instrument panel.
Pay special attention to regularly clean the wheel rims
since they feature some machined aluminium parts;
clean and dry them any time you use the motorcycle.

Storing the motorcycle

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;
- empty the fuel tank;
- place the motorcycle on a service stand;
- disconnect, remove the battery and periodically
charge it using the battery charge maintainer (see
page 214);
- Protect the motorcycle with a suitable canvas.
This will protect paintwork and let condensate
breathe out. The canvas is available from Ducati
Performance.
