2023 Ducati Supersport 950 Maintenance Schedule
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
Using the motorcycle under extreme conditions, such as very damp and muddy roads or dusty and dry environment, could cause above-average wear of components like the drive system, the brakes or the air filter. If the air filter is dirty, the engine could get damaged. Therefore, this might translate in required service or replacement of the wear parts earlier than specified in the scheduled maintenance chart.
