Beam setting (fig. 159) When checking beam setting, put the motorcycle upright. Tyres should be inflated at the correct pressure and one person should be sitting astride the motorcycle, keeping it at right angles to its longitudinal axis.
Page 158
The height of the headlight beam can be adjusted using the adjusting screws (1, fig. 160) located at the bottom on the sides of the headlight. Turning the screw (1) of the headlight clockwise, the light beam will move downwards: turning it in the opposite direction, will move it upwards.
2.50 bar (rider only) - 2.9 bar (with passenger and/or bags) As tyre pressures are affected by changes in temperature Have the tyres replaced at a Ducati Dealer or and altitude; check and adjust them whenever you are riding authorised Service Centre. Correct removal and installation in areas where there are large variations in temperature or of the wheels is essential.
Page 161
Minimum tread depth Measure tread depth (S, fig. 162) at the point where tread is most worn down. It should not be less than 2 mm, and in any case not less than the legal limit. Important Visually inspect the tyres at regular intervals for cracks and cuts, especially on the side walls, and bulges or large stains that indicate internal damage.
