Ducati Supersport S 2019
The 2019 Ducati Supersport S is an exciting and dynamic sportbike that is the right mix of performance, versatility, and style. The Supersport S takes the experience to a whole new level by building on the Supersport 950. Its aggressive and aerodynamic form shows that the Italian company that made it cares about speed and accuracy. With 110 horsepower and a powerful 937cc Testastretta engine, the Supersport S provides a thrilling ride. It can accelerate quickly and reach top speeds. The Supersport S has top-of-the-line parts, like a fully adjustable Ohlins suspension, a quick shifter, and Brembo brakes. This gives it the best control and efficiency on the road of any motorcycle. With its sporty roots and ergonomic design, the Supersport S is just as comfortable on the track as it is on a daily commute. This makes it a great choice for riders who want a flexible and adrenaline-pumping riding experience.

Horn.
Stop light switches.
Battery 12 V – 10 Ah.
System voltage 12 V.
GENERATOR 490W to 14V.
Electronic rectifier, protected by a 30A fuse located on the solenoid starter, under the battery
(C, Fig 206).
Starter motor: 12V-0.7 kW.
Note
For bulb replacement instructions, please see the paragraph “Replacing the high and low beam bulbs”.
To access the main fuse, remove the left fairing
(page 249).
The main fuse (C, Fig 206), is located near the battery on the solenoid starter (D, Fig 206): fuse (L, Fig 206)is a spare fuse. Remove the fuse cap (E, Fig 206)to reach it. A blown fuse can be identified by the breakage of the inner filament (F, Fig 207).
Near the solenoid starter, there are two fuses: a 25 A (G) fuse and a 10 A (H) one.
Changing the air filter
Important
Have the air filter maintenance performed at a Ducati Dealer or Authorised Service Centre.
Checking coolant level and topping up, if necessary
Check the coolant level in the expansion reservoir on the right side of the steering tube.
Steer completely to the left and check that the level is between the MIN and MAX marks on the side of the expansion reservoir.
Top up if the level is below the MIN mark. Unscrew the filler plug (1) and add ENI Agip Permanent Spezial antifreeze (do not dilute, use pure), until reaching the MAX level.
Screw plug (1) into seat.
This type of mixture ensures the best operating conditions (the coolant starts to freeze at
-20 °C/-4 °F). Cooling circuit capacity: 2.3 litres (0.61 gallons).
Attention
This operation must be performed with cold engine. Failure to observe the above recommendation may lead to coolant or hot vapour leakage with possible consequent severe burns.
Check the brake fluid level
The levels should not fall below the MIN marks on the respective reservoirs.
If level drops below the limit, air might get into the circuit and affect the operation of the system involved.
Brake and clutch fluid must be topped up and changed at the intervals specified in the scheduled maintenance table reported in the Warranty Booklet; please contact a Ducati Dealer or authorised Service Centre.
BRAKE SYSTEM
If you find exceeding clearance on brake lever or pedal and brake pads are still in good condition, contact your Ducati Dealer or authorised Service Centre to have the system inspected and any air drained out of the circuit.
Attention
Brake fluid can damage paintwork and plastic parts, so avoid contact.
Hydraulic fluid is corrosive; it may cause damage and lead to severe injuries. Never mix fluids of different qualities. Check seals for proper sealing.
Checking brake pads for wear
Check brake pads wear through the inspection hole in the callipers.
Change both pads if the friction material thickness of even just one pad is about 1 mm (0.04 in).
Attention
Friction material wear beyond this limit would lead to metal support contact with the brake disc thus compromising braking efficiency, disc integrity and rider safety.
Charging the battery
Attention Have the battery removed at a Ducati Dealer or authorised Service Centre.
To reach the battery, refer to “Removing the battery” page 260.
Have the battery removed at a Ducati Dealer or authorised Service Centre.
To reach the battery, refer to “Removing the battery” page 260.
Important
Make sure the charger is OFF when you connect the battery to it, or you might get sparks at the battery terminals that could ignite the gases inside the cells. Always connect the red positive (+) terminal first.
Charge the battery at 0.9 A for 5÷10 hours.
Install the battery on the vehicle as described under “Refitting the battery” page 261.
Charging and maintenance of the battery during winter storage
Your motorcycle is equipped with a connector (1), under the seat, 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.
Note
The electric system of this model 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 “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.
