Attention
Ducati recommends changing the Riding mode when the motorcycle is stopped. If the riding mode is changed while riding, be very careful (it is recommended to change the Riding mode at a low speed).
Engine rpm indication
The engine rpm is displayed using a rev counter featuring a grey wake (A).
During the first 1000 km (600 mi) of the odometer (vehicle running-in period), or up to the first service, a virtual engine rpm limiter is set and is indicated when the wake becomes amber yellow.
After the break-in period or after the first inspection, the virtual limiter indicates and advises the rider to ride at lower revs when the engine is cold. The virtual limiter threshold changes according to engine temperature: if the engine temperature is below 50 °C (122 °F), the rpm threshold is 7000 rpm.
When the wake becomes amber yellow and starts blinking, the instrument panel is warning the rider to shift up.
The wake becomes flashing red when the rev limiter trips: in this case the rev limiter (page 102) turns on, too.
If the number of rpm is lower than 1,000 rpm, the wake is not displayed.
Attention
Your motorcycle is equipped with a rev limiter which limits the engine speed to approximately 3000 rpm when the engine is in neutral with the clutch released. This is to prevent excessive noise pollution and also to avoid reaching engine speeds that are harmful to the engine without load. When this limiter comes into operation the revs will be limited and there will be a flashing Overrev indication on the instrument panel. When the clutch is pulled, this function is not active.
