Useful information for safe riding Warning Read this section before riding your motorcycle. Accidents are frequently due to inexperience. Always make sure you have your licence with you when riding; you need a valid licence to be entitled to ride your motorcycle. Do not lend your motorcycle to inexperienced riders or who do not hold a valid licence. Both rider and pillion passenger must always wear a safety helmet.
E Carrying the maximum load allowed Your motorcycle is designed for long-distance riding, carrying the maximum load allowed in full safety and comfort. Even weight distribution is critical to preserving these safety features and avoiding trouble when performing sudden manoeuvres or riding on bumpy roads. When the side panniers are fitted, never exceed 130 Km/h. Further reduce speed if tyres are worn down and when riding on poor road surface or with poor visibility.
Try to arrange your luggage or heavy accessories in the lowest possible position and close to motorcycle centre. Be sure to secure the luggage to the supports provided on the motorcycle as firmly as possible. Improperly secured luggage may affect stability. Never fix bulky or heavy objects to the handlebar or to the front mud guard as this would affect stability and cause danger. Do not insert any objects you may need to carry into the gaps of the frame as these may foul moving parts.
Identification data All Ducati motorcycles have two identification numbers, for frame (fig. 2) and engine (fig. 3). Frame number Engine number E Note These numbers identify the motorcycle model and should always be indicated when ordering spare parts. fig. 2 fig.

Use the padlock in addition to the steering lock when parking your motorcycle in unsafe areas. Warning Using padlocks or other locks designed to prevent motorcycle motion, such as brake disc locks, rear sprocket locks, and so on is dangerous and may impair motorcycle operation and affect the safety of rider and passenger. Side stand (fig.
Note Check for proper operation of the stand mechanism (two springs, one into the other) and the safety sensor (2) at regular intervals. E Note 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). Lifting handgrip A handgrip (1, fig.
Centre stand Always use the centre stand (1, fig. 24) to support the motorcycle steadily when parked. It is designed to support the motorcycle even when carrying the maximum load allowed. 1 Warning Before putting the motorcycle on the centre stand, make sure the bearing surface is hard and flat. E Hold the left handlebar with your left hand and the lifting handgrip (2, fig. 25) with your right hand. Push down on the thrust arm (3) of the centre stand until it touches the ground.
Rear view mirrors (fig. 26) The rear view mirrors of your motorcycle are made up of two parts held together by a special inner spring. This spring counters mirror rotation so the mirror will not smash the headlamp fairing if hit accidentally. The spring then moves the mirror back to its original position. E A Important If either of the mirror parts comes off, have the mirror repaired or replaced by a Dealer or at an authorized workshop.
Front fork adjusters The front fork has rebound and compression damping adjusters. 1 A This adjustment is done using the outer adjusters: 1) (fig. 27) to adjust rebound damping; 2) (fig. 27) to adjust inner springs preload; 3) (fig. 28) to adjust compression damping. E 2 fig. 27 29 ST4 Turn the adjuster (1) on fork leg top with a flat screwdriver to adjust rebound damping. To reach the adjuster (3, fig. 28), insert a screwdriver into the passing hole on the wheel spindle at fork leg axis.
E STANDARD factory setting is as follows: compression: 12 clicks; rebound: 11 clicks. The setting range is 14 clicks (both for rebound and compression). The 14th click gives the softest damping. To change the preload of the spring inside each fork leg turn the hex. adjusting nut (2) with a 22-mm hexagon wrench. Height A (fig. 27) determines preload and may vary from 25 to 10 mm. Factory setting is 16 mm. 3 Important Adjust both fork legs to same settings. fig.
Shock absorber adjusters The shock absorber has outer adjusters that enable you to adjust your motorcycle to the load. The adjuster (1, fig. 29) located on the rear right hand side near the control unit controls rebound damping. The adjuster (2, fig. 30) on the shock absorber expansion reservoir controls compression damping. Turning the adjusters (1 and 2) clockwise gives harder damping H, turning anticlockwise gives softer damping S. STANDARD setting.
Warning Use a specific pin wrench only to turn the preload adjusting ring nut. Be careful when turning the nut with the wrench, as the pin may slip out of the nut recess and you may hurt your hand hitting motorcycle parts. E Important The shock absorber is filled with gas under pressure and may cause severe damage if taken apart by unskilled persons.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE For all mechanical parts of the motorcycle to adapt to one another and above all not to adversely affect the life of basic engine parts, it is advisable to avoid harsh accelerations and not to run the engine at high rpm for too long, especially uphill. Furthermore, the drive chain should be inspected frequently. Lubricate as required. Running-in recommendations Max. rotation speed (fig.
E After 2500 km After running-in, never exceed the following values during the motorcycle standard use: 9000 rpm (ST2); 10000 rpm (ST4). Strict observance of running-in recommendations will ensure longer engine life and reduce the likelihood of overhauls and tune-ups.
Pre-ride checks Warning Failure to carry out these checks before riding, may lead to motorcycle damage and injury to rider and passenger. Before riding, perform a thorough check-up on your bike as follows: Fuel level in the tank Check fuel level in the tank. Fill tank if needed (page 41). Engine oil level Check oil level in the sump through the sight glass. Top up if needed (page 66). Brake and clutch fluid Check fluid level in the relevant reservoirs.
Starting the engine Note Follow the “High ambient temperature” procedure to start the engine when it is warm. ON Warning Before starting the engine, become familiar with the controls you will need to use when riding. E Regular ambient temperature (10 °C /50 °F to 35 °C/95 °F): 1) Move the ignition key to ON (fig. 32). Make sure both the green light N and the red light on the instrument panel come on. Important The oil pressure light should go out a few seconds after the engine has started (page 12).
Let the engine start without using the throttle control. A Important Never operate the electric start button more than 5 seconds at a time. If needed, allow 10 seconds before attempting to restart the engine. B MAX MIN 4) Move the cold start lever to the vertical position (A) to let engine idle at about 1400-1500 rpm. E Important Do not rev up the engine when it is cold. Allow some time for oil to reach all points that need lubricating. fig.
E Moving off 1) Disengage the clutch squeezing the control lever. 2) Push down on gear change lever sharply with the tip of your foot to engage the first gear. 3) Speed up engine, by turning the throttle twistgrip and slightly releasing the clutch lever at the same time. 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 change lever and let go of clutch lever.
Braking Slow down in time, shift down to engine-brake first and then brake applying both brakes. Pull the clutch lever before stopping the motorcycle, to avoid sudden engine stop. Warning Use both brake lever and pedal for effective braking. Using only one of the brakes will give you less braking power. Never use brake controls harshly or violently or you may lock the wheels and lose control of the motorcycle. When riding in the rain or on slippery surfaces, braking will become less effective.
Stopping the motorcycle If you let go of the throttle twistgrip, the motorcycle will slow down gradually and smoothly. Then, shift down releasing the clutch, and finally change from first to neutral. Apply brakes and you will bring the motorcycle to a complete stop. To switch the engine off, simply turn the key to OFF (fig. 35). E Important Never leave the key in the ON position when engine is stopped, or this will damage the electric components. fig.

Undo the clips (1, fig. 50) of the cover on both sides of the air box, then remove cover (2). Remove the filter (3, fig. 51) and fit a new one. E Important A dirty filter will reduce air intake, increase fuel consumption, reduce engine power, and foul the spark plugs.
Checking the coolant level Check the coolant level in the expansion tank, on the RH side of the motorcycle. The coolant level must be between the MAX and MIN marks (fig. 52). Top up if the level is too low. Remove the r.h. side guard of the instrument panel. Unscrew the filler (1, fig. 53) and add a mixture consisting of water and antifreeze SHELL Advance Coolant or Glycoshell (35-40% of the volume) up to MAX mark. E Refit the filler (1) and reassemble all removed parts. fig.
Checking brake and clutch fluid level Fluid level should never fall below the MIN mark on each reservoir (fig. 54). If level drops below the limit, air might get into the circuit and affect the operation of the system involved. Brake and clutch fluid must be topped up and changed at the intervals specified in the routine maintenance chart (see Warranty Card) by a Ducati Dealer or authorized workshop.
Checking brake pads for wear Front brake (fig. 55) To facilitate inspection without removing the pads from the calipers, brake pads have a wear mark. If the grooves in the friction material are still visible, the pad is still in good condition. MIN 1 mm Rear brake (fig. 55) The friction material on each pad should be at least 1 mm thick. Important Have the brake pads replaced at a Ducati Dealer or authorized workshop. E fig.
E Lubricating cables and joints The condition of the outer sheaths of the throttle and cold start cables should be checked at regular intervals. The sheaths should show no signs of squeezing or cracking. Work the controls to make sure the cable slides smoothly inside the sheath: if you feel any friction or hard spots, have the cable replaced by your Ducati Dealer or authorized workshop.
Throttle cable adjustment The throttle twistgrip must have a free play of 1.5 - 2 mm measured at the edge of the twistgrip, at all positions of the handlebars. If it needs adjusting, use the suitable adjuster (1, fig. 58) provided on the throttle control. 1,5 ÷ 2 mm E 1 fig.
Charging the battery (fig. 59) Before charging the battery, it is best to remove it from the motorcycle. Remove the r.h. side fairing (see page 46), undo the screw (1) and remove the upper bracket. Always disconnect the black negative terminal (-) first, and then the red positive terminal (+). E Warning Keep the battery out of the reach of children. Charge the battery at 1 A for 5-10 hours. Warning Batteries develop explosive gases: keep it away from heat sources. Charge the battery in a ventilated room.
Chain tensioning Turn the rear wheel slowly until you find the position where chain tension is tightest. Put motorcycle on the centre stand and push the chain up pressing with a finger at mid-length of swingarm. The lower stretch of chain must have a slack (fig. 60) of 30 mm (ST2) 32 mm (ST4). Chain tension is adjusted as follows: Slacken the nut (1, fig. 61) of the wheel spindle, tighten (turn clockwise) or slacken the screw (2) on either side of the swingarm equally to increase or reduce chain tension.
Chain lubrication The chain fitted on your motorcycle has O-ring that keep dirt out of and lubricant inside the sliding parts. The seals might be irreparably damaged if the chain is cleaned using any solvent other than those specific for O-ring chains or washed using steam or water jets.

Reporting of safety defects If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying Ducati North America. If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign.
made except idle speed adjustments with the throttle stop screw. The Exhaust Emission Control System is separate from the crankcase emission control system. USA E Crankcase Emission Control System The engine is equipped with a closed crankcase system to prevent discharging crankcase emissions into the atmosphere. Blow-by gas is returned to the combustion chamber through the air cleaner and the throttle body.
When the roadway is wet, rely more on the throttle to control vehicle speed and less on the front and rear brakes. The throttle should also be used judiciously to avoid skidding the rear wheel from too rapid acceleration or deceleration. On rough roads, exercise caution, slow down, and grip the fuel tank with your knees for better stability. When quick acceleration is necessary as in passing, shift to a lower gear to obtain the necessary power. Do not down shift at too high an r.p.m.
USA E Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions. Refuell in a well ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks when refuelling or servicing the fuel system. Always close the fuel petcock when the engine is not running to prevent flooding of the throttle body. Do not overfill fuel tank (see instructions page 41). Motorcycle exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas.
