Tubeless tyres

The ICON and FULL THROTTLE versions have tubeless tyres (without an inner tube).
Front tyre pressure:
2.50 bar (36 PSI) (rider only) – 2.50 bar (36 PSI) (full load).
Rear tyre pressure:
2.50 bar (36 PSI) (rider only) – 2.90 bar (42 PSI) (full load).
As tyre pressure is affected by ambient temperature and altitude variations, you are advised to check and adjust it whenever you are riding in areas where ample variations in temperature or altitude occur.

Important
Check and set tyre pressure when tyres are cold. To avoid front wheel rim distortion, when riding on bumpy roads, increase tyre pressure by 0.2 ÷ 0.3 bar (2.9÷4.35 PSI).

Tubeless tyre repair or change
In the event of a tiny puncture, tubeless tyres will take a long time to deflate, as they tend to keep air inside. If you find low pressure on one tyre, check the tyre for punctures.

Attention
Punctured tyres must be replaced. Replace tyres with recommended standard tyres only. Be sure to tighten the valve caps securely to avoid leaks when riding. Never use tube type tyres. Failure to heed this warning may lead to sudden tyre bursting and to serious danger to rider and passenger.
After replacing a tyre, the wheel must be balanced.
Do not remove or shift the wheel balancing weights.

Note
Have the tyres replaced at a Ducati Dealer or authorised Service Centre? Correct removal and installation of the wheels is essential. Some parts of the ABS (such as sensors and phonic wheels) are mounted to the wheels and require specific adjustments.

Minimum tread depth
Measure tread depth (S, Fig 213) at the point where tread is most worn down: it should not be less than 2 mm (0.08 in), and in any case not less than the legal limit.

Important
Visually inspect the tyres at regular intervals to detect cracks and cuts, especially on the side walls, bulges or large spots that are indicative of internal damage. Replace them if badly damaged. Remove any stones or other foreign bodies caught in the tread.

Check engine oil level
Engine oil level can be checked through the sight glass (1) located onto the clutch cover. Oil level must be checked with the motorcycle perfectly upright and the engine cold. Oil level should be between the marks on the sight glass. If the level is low, top up with engine oil.
Ducati recommends you use Shell Advance 4T Ultra 15W-50 oil (JASO: MA2 and API: SN).
Remove the oil filler cap (2) and top up until the oil reaches the required level. Refit the plug.

Important
Engine oil and oil filters must be changed by a Ducati Dealer or authorised Service Centre at the intervals specified in the scheduled maintenance chart reported in the Warranty Card.
Recommendations concerning oil
It is recommended to use oil complying with the following specifications:

• viscosity grade SAE 15W-50;
• standard API: SN;
• standard JASO: MA2.

Cleaning and replacing the spark plugs
Spark plugs are essential to the smooth engine running and should be checked at regular intervals.
Have the spark plug been replaced by a Ducati Dealer or an authorised Service Centre?

Cleaning the motorcycle
To preserve the finish of metal parts and paintwork, wash and clean your motorcycle at regular intervals, anyway according to road conditions. Use specific products only. Prefer biodegradable products. Avoid aggressive detergents or solvents.
Use only water and neutral soap to clean the Plexiglas and the seat.
Periodically clean by hand all aluminium components. Use special detergents, suitable for aluminium parts. Do NOT use abrasive detergents or caustic soda.

Note
Do not use sponges with abrasive parts or steel wool: only use soft cloths.
However, the warranty does not apply to motorcycles whenever poor maintenance status is ascertained.

Important
Do not wash your motorcycle right after use. When the motorcycle is still hot, water drops will evaporate faster and spot 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 forks, wheel hubs, electric systems, headlight (fogging), fork seals, air inlets or exhaust silencers, with consequent loss of compliance with the safety requirements.
Clean off stubborn dirt or exceeding grease from engine parts using a degreasing agent. Be sure to avoid contact with drive parts (chain, sprockets, etc.).
Rinse with warm water and dry all surfaces with chamois leather.

Attention
Braking performance may be impaired immediately after washing the motorcycle. Never grease or lubricate the brake discs to avoid losing braking power. Clean the discs with an oil-free solvent.
The headlight might fog up due to washing, rain or moisture. Switch the headlight on for a short time to help and dry up any condensation.
Carefully clean the phonic wheels of the ABS in order to ensure system efficiency. Do not use aggressive products in order to avoid damaging the phonic wheels and the sensors.

Important
To clean and lubricate the drive chain, refer to the paragraph “Lubricating the drive chain”.

Storing the motorcycle
If the motorcycle is to be left unridden over long periods, it is advisable to carry out the following operations before storing it away:

• clean the motorcycle;
• empty the fuel tank;
• pour a few drops of engine oil into the cylinders through the spark plug seats, then crank the engine by hand a few times so a protective film of oil will spread on cylinder inner walls;
• place the motorcycle on a service stand;
• disconnect and remove the battery.

The battery should be checked and charged (or replaced, as required) whenever the motorcycle has been left unridden for over a month.
Protect the motorcycle with a suitable canvas. This will protect paintwork and let condensation breathe out.
The canvas is available from Ducati Performance.

Important notes
Some countries, such as France, Germany, Great Britain, Switzerland, etc. have compulsory emission and noise standards that include mandatory inspections at regular intervals. Periodically carry out the required checks and renew parts as necessary, using Ducati original spare parts, in compliance with the regulations in the country concerned.
