Tires - Ducati Monster 1200 Owner's Manual

Tires

Front tire pressure:
2.3 bar (rider only) - 2.5 bar (rider and passenger).
Rear tire pressure:
2.5 bar (rider only) - 2.8 bar (rider and passenger).
Because tire 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.
Important
Check and set tire pressure when tires are cold.
When traveling very bumpy roads, increase tire
pressure by 0.2÷0.3 bar to preserve the roundness of
the front rim.
TIRE REPAIR OR CHANGE
In the event of a tiny puncture, tubeless tires will take
a long time to deflate, as they tend to keep air inside.
If you find the pressure low in one tire, check the tire
for punctures.
Attention
Punctured tires must be replaced. Replace tires
with recommended standard tires only. Be sure to
tighten the valve caps securely to avoid leaks when
riding. Never use tube type tires. Failure to heed this
warning may lead to sudden tire blowout and serious
danger to rider and passenger.
After replacing a tire, the wheel must be balanced.
Attention
Do not remove or shift the wheel balancing
weights.
