2023 Ducati Supersport 950 Keys Guidelines
Keys
The motorcycle comes with 2 keys.
They contain the “Immobilizer system code”.
The supplied keys are those for the standard use, i.e. to:
- Start the engine;
- Open the fuel tank plug;
- Open the seat lock.
Attention
Separate the keys and use only one of the two to ride the bike.
Duplicate keys
When a customer needs spare keys, he/she shall contact a Ducati authorised service centre and bring all keys he/she still has.
The Ducati authorised service centre will program all new and old keys.
The Ducati authorised service centre may ask to the customer to prove to be the motorcycle owner. The codes of the keys missing during the programming procedure will be erased to ensure that any lost key can not start the engine.
Note
If the motorcycle owner changes, it is necessary that the new owner is given all keys.
Ignition switch and steering lock
It is located in front of the fuel tank and has four positions:
A) ON: enables lights and engine operation;
B) OFF: disables lights and engine operation;
C) LOCK: the steering is locked;
Note
To move the key to the last two positions, press it down before turning it. The key can be removed in positions (B), (C) and (D).
Restoring motorcycle operation via the PIN code
In case of key acknowledgement system or key malfunction, the instrument panel allows the user to enter his/her own PIN code to temporarily restore motorcycle operation.
If the PIN code has been activated via the “PIN Code” function in the “Setting menu” page 146, the instrument panel displays “Insert PIN” and next to it the spaces for the four digits of the PIN.
Entering the code
- The 2 arrows above and below the digit indicate that the number can be changed from 0 to 9 using buttons (1) and (2).
- Press ENTER (3) to confirm and move on to the following digit.
- Repeat the procedure until entering all 4 digits.
Once the fourth digit is set, press ENTER (3) and the instrument panel behaviour will be as follows:
- If there is a problem during the PIN check, the instrument panel displays an error for 2 seconds and then passes to the main screen;
- If PIN code is not correct, the instrument panel displays “Wrong” for 2 seconds and then goes back to previous screen, to allow you to try again.
- If the PIN CODE is correct, the instrument panel shows “Correct” for 2 seconds, and then displays the standard screen.
Important
If this procedure is necessary in order to start the motorcycle, contact an Authorised Ducati Service Centre as soon as possible to fix the problem.

When released, it will spring back to the initial position (idling speed).
Pull in the lever (1) towards the twistgrip to operate the front brake. The system is hydraulically operated and you just need to pull the lever gently.

Turn the knob (2) clockwise to increase lever (1) distance from the twist grip. Turn the adjuster (2) anticlockwise to decrease lever distance.
Before using these controls, thoroughly read instructions in chapter “Moving off”.

- Upwards= lift the pedal to engage 2nd gear and then 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th gears.
Each time you move the pedal you will engage the next gear.
The central resting condition is indicated by the switching on of the warning light “N” on the instrument panel.
Adjusting the position of the gearchange pedal and rear brake pedal
The position of the gearchange (1) and rear brake (2) pedals in relation to the footrests can be adjusted to suit the requirements of the rider.
