Apparel

Riding gear is very important for safety. Unlike cars, a motorcycle offers no impact protection in an accident. Proper riding gear includes a helmet, eye protection, gloves, boots, back protector, long sleeve jacket and long trousers.

• The helmet must meet the requirements listed at “Rider’s obligations”; if your helmet does not have a visor, use suitable eyewear;
• Use certified, five-finger gloves made from leather or abrasion-resistant material; with knuckle protectors and reinforcements on the fingers;
• Riding boots or shoes must have non-slip soles and offer ankle protection;
• The back protector must be certified and sized based on the physical constitution of the rider, according to the manufacturer’s specifications;
• Jackets, trousers or riding suits must be certified, made from leather or abrasion-resistant material and have high-visibility colours and inserts. Select products with certified protectors.

Important
Never wear loose clothing, items or accessories that may become tangled in motorcycle parts. For your safety, always wear suitable protective gear, regardless of season and weather. Have your passenger wear proper protective clothing.

“Safety “”Best Practices”””
These few simple operations are critical to people’s safety and to preserving the full performance of your motorcycle. Never forget to perform them before, while and after riding. Closely follow the indications provided at the chapter “Riding the motorcycle” during the running period. Failure to follow these instructions releases Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A. from any liability whatsoever for any engine damage or shorter engine life.

Attention
Before riding your motorcycle, become familiar with the controls you will need to use when riding. Perform the checks recommended in this manual (see “Checks before riding”) before each ride. Failure to carry out these checks before riding may lead to motorcycle damage and injury to rider and/or passenger. Start the engine outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. The engine should never be started or run indoors. Exhaust gases are poisonous and may lead to loss of consciousness or even death within a short time. Use proper body position while riding and ensure your passenger does the same.

Important
The rider must hold the handlebar with both hands at ALL TIMES while riding. Both rider and passenger should keep their feet on the footpegs when the motorcycle is in motion. The passenger should always hold on to the grab handles under the seat with both hands. Be very careful when tackling road junctions, or when riding in areas near exits from private grounds, car parks or on slip roads to access motorways. Be sure you are clearly visible and do not ride within the blind spot of vehicles ahead. ALWAYS signal your intention to turn or pull to the next lane in good time using the suitable turn indicators. 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. Visually inspect the tyres at regular intervals for detecting cracks and cuts, especially on the side walls, bulges or large spots that are indicative of internal damage. Replace them if badly damaged. Remove any stones or other foreign bodies caught in the tread.

Attention
Engine, exhaust pipes and silencers stay hot long after the engine is switched off; pay particular attention not to touch the exhaust system with any body part and do not park the vehicle next to flammable material (wood, leaves etc.). Do not cover the motorbike with the canvas, when the engine and exhaust system are hot, to avoid damaging it.

Carrying the maximum load allowed
Your motorcycle is designed for long-distance riding, carrying the maximum load allowed in full safety. Even weight distribution is critical to preserving these safety features and avoiding trouble when performing sudden manoeuvres or riding on bumpy roads.

Attention
The maximum speed permitted with the side panniers, the top case and the tank bag fitted must not exceed 180 km/h (112 mph) and at any rate it must comply with the applicable statutory speedlimits. Do not exceed the total permitted weight for the motorcycle and pay attention to information provided below regarding load capacity. Information about carrying capacity

Important
Arrange your luggage or heavy accessories in the lowest possible position and close to motorcycle centre. Never fix bulky or heavy objects to the handlebar or to the front mudguard as this would affect stability and cause danger. Be sure to secure the luggage to the supports provided on the motorcycle as firmly as possible. Improperly secured luggage may affect stability. Do not insert any objects you may need to carry into the gaps of the frame as these may foul moving parts.

Attention
Make sure the tyres are inflated to the proper pressure and that they are in good condition. Refer to the paragraphs “Tubeless Tyres” in the “Main use and maintenance operations” section and “Tyres” in the “Technical specifications” section.

Important
If you install the side panniers (available on request from Ducati Parts service), sort out luggage and accessories according to their weight and arrange them in the side panniers to evenly distribute the weight. Close the side panniers with the relevant key locks.

Dangerous products – warnings

Used engine oil

Attention
Prolonged or repeated contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer. If working with engine oil on a daily basis, we recommend washing your hands thoroughly with soap immediately afterwards. Keep away from children.

• Brake dust
  Never clean the brake assembly using compressed air or a dry brush.
• Brake fluid
  Spilling brake fluid onto plastic, rubber or painted parts of the motorcycle may cause damages. Protect these parts with a clean shop cloth before proceeding to service the system. Keep away from children.

Attention
The fluid used in the brake system is corrosive. In the event of accidental contact with eyes or skin, wash the affected area with abundant running water.

Coolant
Engine coolant contains ethylene glycol, which may ignite under particular conditions, producing invisible flames. Although the flames from burning ethylene glycol are not visible, they are still capable of causing severe burns.

Attention
Take care not to spill engine coolant on the exhaust system or engine parts. These parts may be hot and ignite the coolant, which will subsequently burn with invisible flames. Coolant (ethylene glycol) is irritant and poisonous when ingested. Keep away from children. Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. The coolant is under pressure and will cause severe burns.

The cooling fan operates automatically: keep hands well clear and make sure your clothing does not snag on the fan.

Battery

Attention
The battery gives off explosive gases; never cause sparks or allow naked flames and cigarettes near the battery. When charging the battery, ensure that the working area is properly ventilated and that ambient temperature is below 40° C (104° F). Never try to open the battery: it does not need to be filled with acid or other types of fluids.
