Clutch Lever - Ducati MONSTER S2R Owner's Manual

Clutch lever (fig. 12)
When lever (1) is operated, the transmission is disengaged
from the engine at the gearbox and therefore from the
driving wheel. Use of the clutch is very important during
all phases of driving, especially when moving off.
Important
E
Using the clutch properly will prolong the life of the
engine and prevent any damage to components in the
transmission.
Notes
It is possible to start the engine with side stand
down and the gearbox in neutral. If starting with a gear
engaged, pull the clutch lever (in this case the side stand
must be up).
