After removing the rider seat, you can reach the battery maintaining connector (6)

Maintaining the battery charge
Your motorcycle is equipped with a connector (1) to which you can connect a special battery charger (2) (Battery maintainer kit part no. 69924601A – various countries; Battery maintainer kit part no. 69924601AX – for Japan, China and Australia only) available from our sales network. To access it, remove the rider seat as described in chapter “Removing and refitting the seats”.

Attention
The electric system of this motorcycle is designed so as to ensure there is a very low power drain when the motorcycle is OFF. Nevertheless, the battery features a certain self-discharge rate that is normal and depends on ambient conditions as well as on vehicle “non-use” time.

Important
If battery is not kept at a minimum charge level by a suitable battery charge maintainer, sulphation may occur and this is an irreversible phenomenon causing decreasing battery performance.

Note
When the motorcycle is left unused (approximately for more than 30 days). We recommend owners to use the Ducati battery charge maintainer (Battery maintainer kit part no. 69924601A – various countries; Battery maintainer kit part no. 69924601AX – for Japan, China and Australia only) since its electronics monitors the battery voltage and features a maximum charge current of 1.5 Ah. Connect the maintainer to the diagnostics socket located in the rear side of the motorcycle.

Note
Using charge maintainers not approved by Ducati could damage the electric system; motorcycle warranty does not cover the battery if damaged due to failure to comply with the above indications, since it is considered as wrong maintenance.

Side stand

Important
Place the motorcycle on the side stand only when you are not going to use it for short periods of time. Before lowering the side stand, make sure that the bearing surface is hard and flat. Do not park on soft or pebbled ground or on asphalt melted by the sun, etc. or else the motorcycle may fall over. When parking downhill, always position the motorcycle with the rear wheel facing downhill. To pull down the side stand, hold the motorcycle handlebars with both hands and push down on the side stand (1) with your foot until it is fully extended. Tilt the motorcycle until the side stand is resting on the ground. To move the side stand to its rest position (horizontal position), lean the motorcycle to the right while lifting the thrust arm (1) with your foot. To ensure trouble-free operation of the side stand joint, thoroughly clean it and then use SHELL Alvania R3 grease to lubricate all friction points.

Attention
Do not sit on the motorcycle when it is supported on the side stand.

Note
Check for proper operation of the stand mechanism (two springs, one into the other) and the safety sensor (2) at regular intervals.

Note
It is possible to start the engine with stand unfolded and gearbox in neutral.

Bluetooth control unit
The motorcycle can be equipped with a Bluetooth control unit that works as a hub between the various supported electronic devices relying on a Bluetooth communication interface. The Bluetooth control unit, which is not installed in this vehicle, can be purchased at a Ducati Dealer or Authorised Service Centre.

Attention
Smartphone and Bluetooth Headset device manufacturers may incorporate certain changes within the standard protocols over the course of the lifecycle of the device (Smartphones and Earphones). These changes are outside the control of Ducati and may result in Bluetooth Headset devices functionality becoming impaired (sharing Music, multimedia player, etc.) and may equally affect some types of Smartphones (depending on support Bluetooth profiles).

This is why Ducati cannot guarantee multimedia player’s proper operation for:

• any earphones not coming with the “Ducati Kit part no. 981029498”;
• any Smartphones not supporting the required Bluetooth profiles (even though paired to earphones coming with the “Ducati Kit part no. 981029498”).

Attention
In case of interference or noise due to particular conditions of the external environment, the Ducati earphone kit part no. 981029498 also allows sharing the music being played directly from rider helmet to passenger helmet (for further details please refer to the manual of the earphones coming with the Ducati kit part no. 981029498).

Note
The Ducati kit part no. 981029498 can be purchased separately at a Ducati Dealer or Authorised Service Centre.

Check that your Smartphone supports the following profiles:

• MAP profile: for a correct display of SMS and MMS notifications;
• PBAP profile: for a correct display of the Smartphone contact list.

Attention
Ducati does not ensure a correct connection to the Ducati Multimedia System of Bluetooth navigators that are not provided in the following kits:

• Kit of Ducati Zumo satellite navigator 350
• Kit of Ducati Zumo satellite navigator 390
• Kit of Ducati Zumo satellite navigator 395

Note
The Ducati kits mentioned above can be purchased separately at a Ducati Dealer or Authorised Service Centre.

Steering damper
It is located before the handlebar and is secured to the steering head. It provides stable and accurate steering, improving the motorcycle’s handling response under any conditions.

Front fork adjustment
The front fork used on this motorcycle has rebound (return), compression and spring preload adjustment.

Adjustment is done by external screw adjusters.

1. For rebound adjustment (1);
2. for compression adjustment (2);
3. for innerspring preload adjustment (3).

Position the motorcycle on its side stand so that it is stable. Turn the adjuster (1) at the top end of each fork leg with a flat screwdriver to adjust rebound damping. Turn the adjuster (2) at the top end of each fork leg with a flat screwdriver to adjust compression damping. The stiffest damping setting is obtained with the adjuster turned fully clockwise to the “0” (fully closed) position. To change preload of the spring inside each fork leg, counterclockwise the hex. adjuster (3), with a hexagon wrench, starting from the fully open (counter clockwise) position.

Standard setting:

• rebound: open 5.5 turns counterclockwise from fully closed position on both fork legs;
• compression: open 7 turns counter-clockwise from a fully closed position on both fork legs;
• spring preload: 7 turns from fully open.

Recommended setting for racing use:

• rebound: open 2.5 turns counterclockwise from fully closed\ position on both fork legs;
• compression: open 1 turn counterclockwise from fully closed position counterclockwise on both fork legs;
• spring preload: 6 turns from fully open.

Attention
Adjust both fork legs to the same settings.

Adjusting the rear shock absorber
The rear shock absorber has adjusters that enable you to suit the setting to the load on the motorcycle. The adjuster (1) located on the front connection holding the shock absorber to the crankcase half adjusts the damping during the rebound phase (return). The adjuster (2) located on the expansion reservoir of the shock absorber adjusts the damping during the compression phase. The two nuts (3) on the upper part of the shock absorber serve to adjust the preload of the external spring. To change spring preload, slacken the upper locking ring nut. Then TIGHTEN or SLACKEN the lower ring nut to INCREASE or DECREASE spring preload. After setting spring preload as desired, tighten the upper locking ring nut.

Completely turn adjusters (1) and (2) clockwise to obtain the fully closed condition. Standard setting:

• rebound (1): open 13 clicks counter clockwise from fully closed position;
• compression (2): open 2.5 turns counter clockwise from fully closed position;
• spring preload: 14 mm (0.55 in) from fully
  uncompressed spring.

Recommended setting for racing use:

• rebound (1): open 8 clicks counter clockwise from fully closed position;
• compression (2): open 2 turns counter clockwise from fully closed position;
• spring preload: 14 mm (0.55 in) from fully uncompressed spring.

Attention
The shock absorber is filled with gas under pressure and may cause severe damage if taken apart by unskilled persons.

When carrying a passenger and luggage, set the rear shock absorber spring to proper preload to improve motorcycle handling and keep safe clearance from the ground. You may find that rebound damping needs adjusting as well. Standard settings of the vehicle as delivered (factory settings specified in the previous paragraphs) correspond to a calibration which considers all use conditions (riding conditions, rider’s skills and needs), and is the best solution for a sport use of the motorcycle on the road.
