Tubeless Tyres - Ducati Superbike 1198 2010 Owner's Manual

Tubeless tyres

Front tyre pressure:
2
2.1 bar - 2.3 kg/cm .
Rear tyre pressure:
2
2.2 bar - 2.4 kg/cm .
As tyre pressures are affected by changes in temperature
and altitude, check and adjust them whenever you are riding
in areas where there are large variations in temperature or
altitude.
Important
Check and adjust the pressures with the tyres cold.
To prevent distortion of the front wheel rim, increase tyre
pressure by 0.2 to 0.3 bar when riding on bumpy roads.
Tyre repair or replacement (Tubeless)
With minor punctures, tubeless tyres take a long time to
deflate, as they tend to hold the air inside. If you find that
one of the tyres is slightly deflated, check the tyre for slow
punctures.
Warning
Punctured tyres must be renewed.
Replace with tyres of the original brand and type.
Be sure to tighten the valve dust caps securely to prevent
leaks while riding. Never fit tyres with inner tubes, as
these can cause the tyre to burst suddenly, with possibly
serious consequences for the rider and passenger.
After renewing a tyre, the wheel must be balanced.
Important
Do not remove or alter the position of the wheel
balancing weights.
Notes
If tyres need changing, contact a Ducati Dealer or
Authorized Service Centre to make sure wheels are
removed and refitted correctly.
