Rider’s obligations

All riders must hold a valid licence.

Attention
Riding without a licence is illegal and is prosecuted by law. Always make sure you have your licence with you when riding. Do not let inexperienced riders or persons without a valid licence use your motorcycle. Do not ride under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.

Attention
Riding under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs is illegal and is prosecuted by law. Do not take prescription or other drugs before riding unless you have consulted your doctor about their side effects. Some medications and drugs may cause drowsiness or other effects that slow down reaction time and the rider’s ability to control the motorcycle, possibly leading to an accident. Some states require vehicle insurance. Check your state laws. Obtain insurance coverage and keep your insurance document secure with the other motorcycle documents. To protect rider and passenger safety, some states mandate the use of a certified helmet. Check your state laws. Riding without a helmet may be punishable by law. Riders without helmets are more likely to suffer severe bodily injury or die if they are in an accident. Check that your helmet complies with safety specifications, permits good vision, is the right size for your head, and carries a certification label indicating that it conforms to the standards in force in your state. Road traffic laws differ from state to state. Learn about traffic laws in your state before riding and always obey them.

Rider’s training

Accidents are frequently due to inexperience. Riding, manoeuvres and braking must be performed in a different way than on the other vehicles.

Attention
Untrained riders or wrong use of the vehicle may lead to loss of control, serious injuries or even death.

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

• 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;
• Jacket, trousers or riding suit 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 safety and to preserving the full performance of your motorcycle. Never forget to perform them before,\ while and after riding.

Important
Closely follow the indications provided at 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 before each ride.

Attention
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
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.

Attention
The passenger should always hold on to the grab handles under the seat with both hands.

Important
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 to detect 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.

Interactive menu and Info display
The “Interactive Menu” contains a series of functions that can be activated by the rider. When a function is activated, a corresponding window is displayed with which you can interact. The “Info display” menu includes all counters referred to available trip information (see page 116) When one of the menus is selected, it is indicated with the active frame (A,Fig 75) and buttons (1), (2) and (3) are used for menu navigation and interaction.

To toggle the selection between “Interactive menu” and “Info display” and vice versa:

• if “Interactive menu” is currently selected, long press and hold button (2) to move the selection to “Info display” (C, Fig 75);
• if “Info display” is currently selected, long press and hold button (1) to move the selection to “Interactive menu” (B, Fig 75).

Buttons (1) and (2) are mainly used to scroll and select items in the selected menu. Button (3) is used to activate and interact with the selected menu item.

Riding Mode
3 Riding Modes are available: SPORT, TOURING, URBAN. The name of the active Riding Mode is shown at the centre of the display. Each Riding Mode is associated with a different colour for the name and rev counter box.

The parameters associated to each Riding Mode are:
Engine, DTC, ABS, DWC, DQS. For each Riding Mode it is possible to customise the parameters using the “Riding Mode” function in the “Setting menu”.

Changing the Riding Mode

• Press and hold the MODE/ENTER button (3) for a long time.
• The dedicated screen is displayed (Fig 78) where, using buttons (1) and (2), it is possible to scroll through the available Riding Modes and display the parameters with the relevant set values.
• Press the MODE/ENTER button (3) to confirm.

Select “Exit” and press MODE/ENTER button (3) to
quit the screen without making any changes.

• If the throttle control is open the message “Close throttle” is displayed; the new Riding Mode is confirmed and stored only when throttle control is closed and the main screen is displayed.
• If speed is above 5 km/h (3 mph), throttle control is closed, but brakes are actuated, the message “Release brakes”, is displayed; the new Riding Mode is confirmed and stored only when brakes are released and then the main screen is displayed.
• If both of the above conditions occur, the message “Close throttle and release brakes” is displayed. The new Riding Mode is confirmed and stored only when both conditions are satisfied and then the main screen is displayed. If either of the conditions required to validate the change of Riding Mode are not true within 5 seconds from activation of one of the above-described conditions, the procedure will be aborted, the instrument panel will go back to displaying the main page and no settings will be changed.

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 103) 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.
