Ducati Multistrada 1200 ABS Owner's Manual page 135

Note
E
It is possible to start the engine with side stand down
and the gearbox in neutral. When starting the bike with a
gear engaged, pull the clutch lever (in this case the side stand
must be up).
Move the red switch (1) up to uncover the black button (4,
fig. 125).
Push the button (4) to start the engine.
Important
Do not rev up the engine when it is cold. Allow some
time for the oil to warm up and reach all points that need
lubricating.
The red oil pressure warning light should go out a few
seconds after the engine has started.
The engine will shut off by turning the red key (1, fig. 125) on
the handlebar to RUN OFF.
Note
To turn on the "Hands free" system and all electronic
onboard systems, refer to page 100 "Hands Free System".
