Tubeless Tires - Ducati Diavel ABS 2012 Owner's Manual

Tubeless tires

Front tire pressure:
2.50 bar/250 kPa (rider only) - 2.6 bar/260 kPa (with
passenger and/or bags)
Rear tire pressure:
2.50 bar/250 kPa (rider only) - 2.6 bar/260 kPa (with
passenger and/or bags)
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.
To prevent distortion of the front wheel rim, increase
tire pressure by 0.2-0.3 bar (20-30 kPa) when riding
on bumpy roads.
tire repair or change (Tubeless tires)
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.
Warning
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.
Important
Do not remove or shift the wheel balancing
weights.
Note
Have the tires replaced at a Ducati Dealer or
Authorized Service Center. Correct removal and
installation of the wheels is essential.
Some parts of the ABS (such as sensors and phonic
wheels) are mounted to the wheels (ABS version)
and require specific adjustment.
