Riding the motorcycle For the first 100 km, use the brakes gently. Do not brake
violently or keep brake applied for too long. This will enable
E a correct break-in of friction material on brake pads against
brake discs.
To allow all the mechanical moving parts in the motorcycle to
adapt to one another, and to avoid shortening the life of the
main engine components, it is advisable to avoid sudden
acceleration and running the engine at high rpm for too long,
especially uphill.
It is also advisable to check the drive chain frequently and
ensure that it is lubricated as required.
Running-in precautions
Up to 1000 km
During the first 1000 km keep an eye on the rev counter.
The indicator must not exceed 5500-6000 rpm.
During the first hours of riding, it is advisable to continuously
vary the load on the engine and the rpm, though still keeping
within the above limits.
For this reason, roads with numerous bends and hilly areas
are ideal for running in the engine, brakes and suspension.
https://www.motorcycle-manual.com/
60
From 1000 to 2500 km
At this point, you can ask for more power from the engine,
being careful, however, never to exceed 7000 rpm.

Checking the brake and clutch fluid level
The level must not fall below the MIN mark on the
corresponding reservoir (fig. 59) (the figure shows the front
E
and rear brake fluid reservoirs).
If the level is too low, air can get into the circuit, thus
impairing the efficiency of the system.
Brake and clutch fluid must be topped up and changed at
the intervals specified in the routine maintenance table
(see Warranty Booklet) by a Ducati Dealer or Authorized
Service Centre.
Important
It is recommended that all brake and clutch hoses be
renewed every four years.

Brake system
If there is excessive play at the brake lever or pedal even
though the brake pads are still in good condition, contact a
Ducati Dealer or Authorized Service Centre to have the
system inspected and any air expelled from the circuit.
Warning
Brake and clutch fluid can damage paintwork and
plastic parts, so avoid contact. Hydraulic fluid is corrosive
and can cause damage and injuries. Never mix fluids of
different qualities.
Check that the seals are in good condition.
https://www.motorcycle-manual.com/
75
Clutch system
E If there is too much play at the clutch lever and the
motorcycle jumps or stops when a gear is engaged, this
indicates air in the system. Contact a Ducati Dealer or
Authorized Service Centre to have the system inspected
and the air bled from the system.
Warning
The clutch fluid level in the reservoir tends to rise as
the friction material on the clutch plates wears out. Do not
exceed the specified level (3 mm above the minimum level).

76
Checking the brake pads for wear
(fig. 61 and fig. 62) MIN E
The brake pads are marked with wear indicators so that they
can be checked without removing them from the calipers.
If the grooves in the pad friction material are still visible,
the pad is still in good condition.

make sure the inner cables slide smoothly inside the outer
cables: if you feel any friction or catching, have the cable
replaced by a Ducati Dealer or Authorized Service Centre.
To prevent problems, periodically open the twistgrip
housing by unscrewing the two bolts (1, fig. 63) and
lubricate the ends of each control cable and the races
with SHELL Advance Grease or Retinax LX2. 1
Warning
Close the twistgrip housing carefully, inserting the
cable in the race. fig. 63

Headlight aim (fig. 73)
E To check the headlight aim, place the motorcycle upright
with the tyres inflated to the correct pressure and one person
sitting astride the motorcycle. The motorcycle should be
perfectly vertical, with its longitudinal axis at right angles to a
wall or screen at a distance of 10 metres. Draw a horizontal
line on the wall at the height of the centre of the headlight
and a vertical one in line with the longitudinal axis of the 9 x x
motorcycle.
10
If possible, perform this check in conditions of low ambient
light.
Switch on the low beam headlight: 10 m
the height of the upper limit between the dark area and the
lit area must not be more than nine tenths of the height of
the centre of the headlamp from the ground. fig. 73
Notes
This is the procedure specified by Italian regulations
for checking the maximum height of the light beam.
Owners in other countries should adapt this procedure
to the regulations in force in the country where the
motorcycle is used.
https://www.motorcycle-manual.com/
86
The horizontal position of the left-hand headlight can be
adjusted by means of the adjuster screw (1, fig. 74) located
behind the headlight. Turn the screw clockwise and the 1 E
beam will shift to the right; turning the screw anti-clockwise
will shift the beam to the left.
The vertical position of the left-hand headlight can be
adjusted by means of the adjuster screw (2, fig. 74)
located behind the headlight. Turn the screw clockwise to
lower the beam or anti-clockwise to raise it. 2
Repeat the above procedure to adjust the right-hand
headlamp.

Minimum tread depth
Measure the tread depth (S, fig. 76) at the point where the
tread is most worn.
E
It should not be less than 2 mm, and in any case not less than S
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. Replace them if badly
damaged.
Remove any stones or other foreign bodies stuck in the
tread.

Checking the engine oil level (fig. 77)
E Check the engine oil level through the sight glass (1) on the
clutch-side crankcase cover. When checking oil level, the
motorcycle should be perfectly upright and the engine cold.
The oil level should be between the two marks next to the
sight glass. Top up the oil level with SHELL Advance Ultra 4,
if low. Undo the filler cap (2) and top up to correct level.
Replace the filler cap. 1 2

Cleaning and renewing the spark plugs
0,8 ÷ 0,1 mm
(fig. 78) E
Spark plugs are an important part of the engine and should
be checked at regular intervals.
The condition of the spark plugs provides a good indication of
how well the engine is running.
Have the spark plugs inspected or renewed at a Ducati
Dealer or Authorized Workshop. Firstly, they will check the
colour of the ceramic insulator of the central electrode:
an even brown colour is a sign that the engine is in good
running order.
Notes 1
Secondly, they will check the central electrode for
wear and measure electrode gap. The electrode gap fig. 78
should be 0.8 to 0.1 mm.
Important
A gap outside the specified limits will adversely affect
engine performance and may lead to difficult starting or
erratic idling.

possible biodegradable. Avoid aggressive detergents or
solvents.
Important
Do not wash your motorcycle immediately after use,
as marks can form due to evaporation of the water on hot
surfaces. Never clean the motorcycle using hot or high-
pressure water jets. Cleaning the motorcycle with a high-
pressure water jet may lead to seizure or serious faults in
the front fork, wheel hub assembly, electrical system,
front fork seals, air inlets or exhaust silencers, with
consequent loss of safety.
