Scheduled Maintenance Chart
Scheduled maintenance chart: operations to be carried out by the dealer
Attention
This scheduled maintenance chart is designed for a road use. If it is used on the track, even if not during sport competitions, all parts of the motorcycle are more stressed so the routine maintenance operations must be carried out more frequently than indicated.
Attention
Please contact a Ducati Dealer or authorised Service Centre where you can receive customised service advice according to the sport use you make.
Important
