7 E General Indications Warranty In your own interest, and in order to guarantee product reliability, you are strongly advised to refer to a Ducati Dealer or Authorised Service Centre for servicing that requires any particular technical expertise. Our highly skilled staff have the tools required to perform any servicing job to the highest professional standards, using only Ducati original spare parts to ensure full interchangeability, smooth running and long life. All Ducati motorcycles come with a Warranty Booklet. The warranty does not apply to motorcycles used in competitions or in cases where there is evidence of poor maintenance. If any motorcycle part is tampered with, modified, or replaced with parts other than original Ducati spare parts during the warranty period, the warranty is automatically invalidated. Symbols Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A. advises you to read this manual carefully in order to become familiar with your motorcycle. If in doubt, please contact a Ducati Dealer or Authorised Service Centre. The information contained herein will prove useful on your trips - and Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A. wishes you smooth, enjoyable riding - and will help you keep the performance of your motorcycle unchanged for a long time. This booklet uses a set of symbols with special meanings: Warning Failure to comply with these instructions may put you at risk, and could lead to severe injury or even death. Important Risk of damage to the motorcycle and/or its components. Note Additional information about the current operation. The terms RIGHT and LEFT are referred to the motorcycle viewed from the riding position.

8 E Useful information for safe riding Warning Read this section before riding your motorcycle. Many accidents are the result of the inexperience of the rider. Always make sure you have your licence with you; you need a valid licence that entitles you to ride a motorcycle. Do not lend your motorcycle to persons who are inexperienced or do not hold a valid licence. Both rider and pillion passenger must ALWAYS wear a safety helmet. Do not wear loose clothes or accessories that could become entangled in the controls or limit your field of vision. Never start or run the engine indoors. Exhaust gases are toxic and may lead to loss of consciousness or even death within a short time. Both rider and pillion passenger should keep their feet on the footpegs when the motorcycle is in motion. ALWAYS hold the handlebars firmly with both hands in order to be ready for sudden changes of direction or in the road surface. The pillion passenger should ALWAYS hold on to the special handle onto tail guard with both hands. For details on rear grab handle refer to “Passenger grabhandle” on page 125. Ride within the law and observe national and local rules. ALWAYS respect speed limits where these are posted. However, ALWAYS adjust your speed to the visibility, road and traffic conditions you are riding in. ALWAYS signal your intention to turn or pull to the next lane in good time using the suitable turn indicators. Be sure you are clearly visible and do not ride within the blind spot of vehicles ahead. Be very careful at road junctions, or when riding in areas near exits from private land or car parks, or on the slip roads to motorways. ALWAYS turn off the engine when refuelling. Be extremely careful not to spill fuel on the engine or on the exhaust pipe when refuelling. Do not smoke when refuelling. While refuelling, it is possible to inhale noxious fuel vapours. Should any fuel drops be spilled on your skin or clothing, immediately wash with soap and water and change your clothing. ALWAYS remove the key when you leave your motorcycle unattended. The engine, exhaust pipes and silencers remain hot for a long time. Warning The exhaust system may still be hot even after engine is switched off; take special care not to touch the exhaust system with any part of your body and do not park the motorcycle next to inflammable material (wood, leaves, etc.). Park your motorcycle where no one is likely to knock against it, and use the side stand. Never park on uneven or soft ground, or your motorcycle may fall over.

9 E Carrying the maximum load allowed Your motorcycle is designed for travelling over long distances with a full load in complete safety. Even weight distribution is critical to preserving these safety features and avoiding trouble when performing sudden manoeuvres or riding on bumpy roads. Warning Do not exceed the total permitted weight for the motorcycle and pay attention to information provided below regarding load capacity. Information on load capacity The total weight of the motorcycle in running order including rider, passenger, luggage and additional accessories should not exceed: 400 kg. Important Arrange your luggage or heavy accessories in the lowest possible position and close to motorcycle centre. Secure the luggage firmly to the motorcycle structure. Luggage incorrectly secured may cause the motorcycle to become unstable. Never attach bulky or heavy objects to the top yoke or front mudguard, as this would cause dangerous instability. Do not insert objects into gaps in the frame, where they could interfere with moving parts. If the side panniers are fitted (available upon request from the Ducati spare parts service), divide the baggage and accessories based on their weight and place them uniformly inside the side panniers. Lock both side panniers using the suitable key lock. Make sure the tyres are inflated to the proper pressure indicated at page 165 and that they are in good condition.
