Riding the motorcycle

Running-in recommendationsMaximum rotation speed

Rotation speed for running-in period and duringstandard use (rpm):1) up to 1,000 km;2) from 1,000 km to 2,500 km.

Up to 1,000 km

During the first 1000 km, keep an eye on the revcounter. It should never exceed: 5,5006,000 rpm.During the first hours of riding, it is advisable to runthe engine at varying load and rpm, though still withinrecommended limit.To this end, roads with plenty of bends and evenslightly hilly areas are ideal for a most efficientrunning-in of engine, brakes and suspensions.For the first 100 km use the brakes gently. Avoidsudden or prolonged braking. This will allow thefriction material on the brake pads to bed in againstthe brake discs.

For all mechanical parts of the motorcycle to adapt toone another and above all not to adversely affect thelife of basic engine parts, it is advisable to avoid harshaccelerations and not to run the engine at high rpmfor too long, especially uphill.Furthermore, the drive chain should be inspectedfrequently. Lubricate as required.

121

From 1,000 km to 2,500 km

From 1,000 km to 2,500 km you can squeeze somemore power out of your engine. However neverexceed 7,000 rpm.

ImportantDuring the whole running-in period, the

maintenance and service rules recommended in theWarranty Card should be observed carefully. Failureto follow these instructions releases Ducati MotorHolding S.p.A. from any liability whatsoever for anyengine damage or shorter engine life.

Strict observance of running-in recommendations willensure longer engine life and reduce the likelihood ofoverhauls and tune-ups.

Pre-ride checks

WarningFailure to carry out these checks before riding,

may lead to motorcycle damage and injury to riderand passenger.

Before riding, perform a thorough check-up on yourmotorcycle as follows:

- FUEL LEVEL IN THE TANKCheck the fuel level in the tank. Fill tank if needed(page 133).

- ENGINE OIL LEVELCheck oil level in the sump through the sightglass. Top up if needed (page 156).

- BRAKE FLUIDCheck fluid level in the relevant reservoirs (page135).

- TYRE CONDITIONCheck tyre pressure and condition (page 154).

- CONTROLSWork the brake, clutch, throttle and gear changecontrols (levers, pedals and twistgrip) and checkfor proper operation.

- LIGHTS AND INDICATORSMake sure lights, indicators and horn workproperly. Replace any burnt-out bulbs (page 90).

- KEY LOCKSEnsure that tank filler plug (page 115) and seat(page 116) are properly locked.

- STANDMake sure side stand operates smoothly and isin the correct position (page 117).

Starting the engine

WarningBefore starting the engine, become familiar

with the controls you will need to use when riding.

WarningNever start or run the engine indoors. Exhaust

gases are poisonous and may lead to loss ofconsciousness or even death within a short time.

Move the ignition switch to (1, Fig. 85). Make sureboth the green light N and the red light on theinstrument panel come on.

ImportantThe oil pressure light should go out a few

seconds after the engine has started.

WarningThe side stand must be fully up (in a horizontal

position) as its safety sensor prevents engine startingwhen down.

NoteIt is possible to start the engine with side stand

down and the gearbox in neutral. When starting themotorcycle with a gear engaged, pull the clutch lever(in this case the side stand must be up).

Check that the stop switch (2, Fig. 87) is positionedto (RUN), then press the starter button(3, Fig. 87).Let the motorcycle start without operating thethrottle control.

NoteIf the battery is flat, system automatically

inhibits starter motor cranking operation.

ImportantDo not rev up the engine when it is cold. Allow

some time for oil to be heated and reach all pointsthat need lubricating.

127

Moving off1) Squeeze the control lever to disengage the

clutch.2) Push down on gear change lever sharply with the

tip of your foot to engage the first gear.3) Speed up the engine by turning the throttle

twistgrip while gradually releasing the clutchlever; the motorcycle will start moving off.

4) Let go of clutch lever and speed up.5) To shift up, close the throttle to slow down

engine, disengage the clutch, lift the gear changelever and let go of clutch lever.

To shift down, proceed as follows: release thetwistgrip, pull the clutch lever, shortly speed up tohelp gears synchronise, shift down (engage nextlower gear) and release the clutch.The controls should be used correctly and timely:when riding uphill do not hesitate to shift down assoon as the motorcycle tends to slow down, so youwill avoid stressing the engine and the motorcycleabnormally.

WarningAvoid harsh acceleration, as this may lead to

misfiring and transmission snatching. The clutchlever should not be held in longer than necessaryafter a gear is engaged, otherwise friction parts mayoverheat and wear out.

WarningProlonged wheelies could deactivate the ABS

system.

128

BrakingSlow down in time, shift down to use engine brakeand then brake by operating both front and rearbrakes. Pull the clutch before the motorcycle stops toavoid engine from suddenly stalling.

Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)Using the brakes correctly under adverse conditionsis the hardest and yet the most critical - skill tomaster for a rider. Braking is one of the most difficultand dangerous moments when riding a two wheeledmotorcycle: the possibility of falling or having anaccident during this difficult moment is statisticallyhigher than any other moment. A locked front wheelleads to loss of traction and stability, resulting in lossof control.The Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) has beendeveloped to enable riders to use the motorcyclebraking force to the fullest possible amount inemergency braking or under poor pavement oradverse weather conditions.ABS uses hydraulics and electronics to limit pressurein the brake circuit when a special sensor mounted tothe wheel informs the electronic control unit that thewheel is about to lock up.

This avoids wheel lockup and preserves traction.Pressure is raised back up immediately and thecontrol unit keeps controlling the brake until the riskof a lockup disappears.Normally, the rider will perceive ABS operation as aharder feel or a pulsation of the brake lever and pedal.The front and rear brakes use separate controlsystems, meaning that they operate independently.Likewise, the ABS is not an integral braking systemand does not control both the front and rear brake atthe same time.If desired, the system can be deactivated from theinstrument panel, using the "ABS control unitenabling/disabling" function (seepage 64).

129

WarningWhen ABS is disabled, the motorcycle restores

the standard brake system features; using the twobrake controls separately reduces the motorcyclebraking efficiency. Never use the brake controlsharshly or suddenly as you may lock the wheels andlose control of the motorcycle. When riding in the rainor on slippery surfaces, braking will become lesseffective. Always use the brakes very gently andcarefully when riding under these conditions. Anysudden manoeuvres may lead to loss of control.When tackling long, high-gradient downhill roadtracts, shift down gears to use engine braking. Applyone brake at a time and use brakes sparingly. Keepingthe brakes applied all the time would cause thefriction material to overheat and reduce brakingpower dangerously. Underinflated tyres reducebraking efficiency, handling accuracy and stability ina bend.

130

Stopping the motorcycleReduce speed, shift down and release the throttletwistgrip.Shift down to engage first gear and then neutral.Apply the brakes and bring the motorcycle to acomplete stop.To switch the engine off, simply turn the key toposition (2).

ImportantDo not leave the key to ON, position (1), with

engine off in order to avoid damaging any electricalcomponents.
