Characteristic of the standard version fairing
elements
The bike's fairing elements are made from a
compounded polymer which has the advantage of
being mass-coloured, thus not presenting a
different colour if scratched. It offers maximum
resistance to shock and vibration and a large variety
of customisation options (e.g. through films or
aesthetic stickers). The finish and aesthetic
rendering are typical of this material and not
comparable with painted surfaces.
These fairing elements cannot be treated with the
polishes/abrasives used to clean or polish painted
surfaces (i.e. benzine/thinners) as they would
immediately and irreparably become dull, therefore
non-aggressive cleaning agents, such as mild soap
and water, should be use to clean their surface using
soft cloths.
Storing the motorcycle
If the motorcycle is to be left unridden over long
periods, it is advisable to carry out the following
operations before storing it away:
clean the motorcycle;
●
empty the fuel tank;
●
220
pour a few drops of engine oil into the cylinders
●
through the spark plug seats, then crank the
engine by hand a few times so a protective film
of oil will spread on cylinder inner walls;
place the motorcycle on a service stand;
●
disconnect and remove the battery.
●
Battery should be checked and charged (or replaced,
as required) whenever the motorcycle has been left
unridden for over a month.
Protect the motorcycle with a suitable canvas. This
will protect paintwork and prevent retaining
condensate.
The canvas is available from Ducati Performance.
Important notes
Laws in some countries set certain noise and
pollution standards.
Periodically carry out the required checks and renew
parts as necessary, using Ducati original spare parts,
in compliance with the regulations in the country
concerned.
Various electronic components of your vehicle have
data memories that temporarily or permanently
store technical information on the status, events and
faults of the vehicle.
