Ducati MONSTER 1000 Owner's Manual page 38

This model is equipped with a servoignition system.
To achieve assisted engine starting, press the button (2)
and release it immediately.
Pressing the button (2) operates automatic engine
starting for a maximum period of time that varies
depending on engine temperature.
When the engine has started, the system prevents the
starter motor from turning over.
If the engine fails to start, allow at least 2 seconds before
pressing the starter button (2) again.
E
Let the engine start without using the throttle control.
Important
Never operate the starter more than 5 seconds at a
time. If needed, allow 10 seconds before attempting to
restart the engine.
4) Move the fast-idle lever towards its vertical position (A)
until obtaining an engine speed of approx. 1400-1500
rpm.
Important
Do not rev up the engine when it is cold. Allow
some time for oil to reach all points that need lubricating.
5) Then, as the engine warms up, gradually move the
fast-idle lever until bringing it in a vertical position (A).
When fully warm, the engine should hold idling speed
with the fast-idle device fully closed.
