Seat Catch And Helmet Hook - Ducati 998S Owner's Manual

Seat catch and helmet hook

Opening (fig. 14.1)
Fit the ignition key into the lock (1) and turn the key
clockwise.
Pull gently the tail guard (2) outwards and lift it until it
rests onto the fuel tank.
On the rear end of the compartment underneath the
seat, there is the helmet fastening cable. Insert the cable
(A) into the helmet and insert the ends of the cable into
the hook. Leave the helmet hanging outside (fig. 14.2)
and refit the seat.
Warning
This system is intended to lock your helmet safely
when you park your motorcycle. Never leave the helmet
hanging from the hook when riding or it may get in the
way and make you lose control of the motorcycle.
Inserting the cable under the subframe from the left side
will enable you to lock the seat.
With the cable in any other position, the seat will not lock
properly.
