driving (not the average fuel consumption ”CONS M.”).
If you refuel adding more than 4 litres of fuel with the vehicle
switched off (key-off), at the subsequent key-on, the
remaining range reading will be updated instantaneously and
will be calculated based on the new fuel level and an average
fuel consumption of 18.0 Km/L; otherwise (that is, if you add
less than 4 litres) the reading will only be updated after the
vehicle is in movement (not instantaneously).
When the range arrives to ”0” the indication will flash
together with the symbol (motorcycle + fuel pump).
The active calculation phase occurs when the engine is
running and the vehicle is moving (moments when the vs. EU, CND, FRA, JAP vs. UK, USA

Warning
It is recommended to turn off the motorcycle (Key-Off)
when refuelling; if adding fuel without turning off the
motorcycle (Key-On/engine off), the reading will be updated
as soon as the vehicle starts to move (speed greater than
zero).

indication turns off when the temperature rises to 6°C (43°F). E
Warning
This warning does not exclude the possibility of icy
road sections even at temperatures above 4°C (39°F); when
external temperatures are ”low” it is always recommended
to drive carefully, particularly on sections that are not
exposed to the sun and/or on bridges.

Tips on how to select the sensitivity level The choice of the correct level depends on 3 main variables:
E 1) The grip (type of tyre, amount of tyre wear, the road/
track surface, weather conditions, etc.)

Tips for use on the track
We recommend level 8 be used for a couple of full laps (to
allow the tyres to warm up) in order to get used to the

system. Then try levels 7, 6, etc., in succession until you
identify the DTC intervention level that suits you best (always
try each level for at least two laps to allow the tyres to warm
up).
Once you have found a satisfactory setting for all the corners
except one or two slow ones, where the system tends to
kick in and control too much, you can try to modify your riding
mode slightly to a more ”rough” approach to cornering i.e.
straighten up more rapidly on exiting the corner, instead of
immediately trying a different level setting.
Tips for use on the road

Activate the DTC, select level 8 and ride the motorcycle in
your usual style; if the level of DTC intervention seems
excessive, try reducing the setting to levels 7, 6, etc., until
you find the level that suits you best.
If changes in the grip conditions and/or circuit characteristics
and/or your riding mode, and the level setting is no longer
suitable, switch to the next level up or down and proceed as
described above to determine the best setting (e.g. if with
level 7 the DTC intervention seems excessive, switch to
level 6; alternatively, if on level 7 you cannot perceive any
DTC intervention, switch to level 8).

The immobilizer system
1
E For additional antitheft protection, the motorcycle is
equipped with an IMMOBILIZER, an electronic system that
locks the engine automatically whenever the ignition switch
is turned off. 2
The grip of each ignition key contains an electronic device
that modulates the output signal from a special antenna in
the headlight fairing when the ignition is switched On. The
modulated signal acts as a password (which is different at
each start-up) and tells the ECU that an ”authorised” ignition
key is being used to start up the engine. When the ECU
recognises the signal, it enables engine start-up.
Keys (fig. 61) fig. 61

The Owner receives a set of keys comprising:
- 1 active key (1, fig. 61)
- 1 passive key (2, fig. 61)
It contains the code used by the ”Hands free” system for the
Key-On, in different modes. 1 A
The active key (1, fig. 62) is the one that is normally used and
has a button (A, fig. 62) that when pressed makes the metal
part exit (B, fig. 62). The metal part returns inside the grip by B
pushing it in.
fig. 62
88
The key contains a battery that must be replaced when the
message ”low level” is displayed under the key and battery
symbols when the instrument panel is turned on (fig. 63). E
Note
In this case, replace the battery as soon as possible
(page 90).
When the charge level goes below a certain limit, the key can
only work in passive mode, like the passive key: in this case,
the instrument panel will not display any message.
Warning
Do not ride with the key (1 or 2, fig. 61) inserted in the fig. 63
lock of the tank cap or in the seat lock as it could come out
and represent a potential danger. Furthermore, if bumped,
the key mechanism and the integrated circuit could be
damaged.
Also riding in poor weather conditions with the key inserted
could cause damage to its integrated circuit.
Do not leave the key on the motorcycle when washing it as
it could be damaged, not being watertight.
89
Replacing the battery in the active key
E Only use 3 Volt CR 2032 lithium ion batteries.
Note
The keys do not need to be reprogrammed after
replacing the battery.
Remove the metal part of the battery.

Use a large sized coin to pry open the shells of the plastic grip
(2€ coin) as shown in fig. 64.
Important
Insert the coil only in the indicated point. Do not other

or the protective gasket.
Once the plastic shells have been separated, remove the 1

printed circuit board (1, fig. 65) prying it up GENTLY with a
small flat screwdriver, as shown in the figure.
Important
Insert the point of the flat screwdriver just under the
printed circuit board, being very careful not to damage it. Do
not apply force on the battery or battery holder.

Changing the motorcycle setup
Single passenger
E Motorcycle setup is the optimal result of tests carried out
under different riding conditions by our technical staff.
The rider can set four different setup configurations on the
instrument panel: Single passenger with luggage
- Single passenger;
- Single passenger with luggage;
- Two passengers;
- Two passengers with luggage. Two passengers
For each of these settings, four riding modes (SPORT,

TOURING, URBAN and ENDURO) can be selected and
within each of these, the initial settings for traction control Two passengers with luggage
(DTC), engine power and suspension dampening control can
be modified. fig. 134
To change the setup, proceed as described on page 56
”Riding Mode Customisation”.
142
Directions for use For the first 100 km use the brakes gently. Avoid sudden or
prolonged braking. This will allow the friction material on the
brake pads to bed in against the brake discs. E
To allow all the mechanical moving parts in the motorcycle to
adapt to one another, and to avoid shortening the life of the
main engine components, it is advisable to avoid sudden
acceleration and running the engine at high rpm for too long,
especially uphill.
Furthermore, the drive chain should be inspected frequently.
Lubricate as required.
Running-in recommendations

5500÷6000 rpm.
During the first hours of riding, it is advisable to run the GEAR
engine at varying load and rpm, though still within

recommended limit.
To this end, roads with plenty of bends and even slightly hilly
areas are ideal for a most efficient running-in of engine,
brakes and suspension.

2) Push down the gear change lever firmly with the tip of brake applying both brakes. Pull the clutch lever before
your foot to engage first gear. stopping the motorcycle, to avoid sudden engine stop.
3) Raise the engine revs by turning the throttle twistgrip
while gradually releasing the clutch lever. The motorcycle
will start moving.
4) Release the clutch lever completely and accelerate.
5) To shift up, close the throttle to slow down engine,
disengage the clutch, lift the gear change lever and let go of
clutch lever.
To shift down, proceed as follows: release the twistgrip, pull
the clutch control lever, shortly speed up to help gears
synchronise, shift down (engage next lower gear) and
release the clutch.
The controls should be used correctly and timely: when
riding uphill, do not hesitate to shift down as soon as the
motorcycle starts to slow down, so you will avoid stressing
the engine and the motorcycle abnormally.
Important
Avoid sudden acceleration, as this may lead to
misfiring and transmission snatching. The clutch lever should
not be held in longer than necessary after a gear is engaged,
otherwise friction parts may overheat and wear out.

The front and rear brakes use separate control systems,
meaning that they operate independently. Likewise, the ABS
is not an integral braking system and does not control both
the front and rear brake at the same time.
If desired, the system can be deactivated from the
instrument panel, using the ”ABS disabling function”.

Checking brake and clutch fluid level
The level must not go below the MIN mark shown on the E
respective reservoirs (fig. 155 shows the front and rear brake
fluid reservoirs, fig. 156 shows the clutch fluid reservoir).
If the level is too low, air can get into the circuit, thus
impairing the efficiency of the system.
Brake and clutch fluid must be topped up and changed at the
intervals specified in the scheduled maintenance chart
reported in the Warranty Booklet; please contact a Ducati
Dealer or authorised Service Centre.
Important
It is recommended all brake and clutch lines be
changed every four years.

Clutch system
E If the control lever has exceeding play and the transmission
snatches or jams as you try to engage a gear, it means that
there might be air in the circuit. Contact your Ducati Dealer
or authorised Service Centre to have the system inspected
and air drained out.
Warning
The clutch fluid level in the reservoir tends to rise as
the friction material on the clutch plates wears out. Do not
exceed the specified level (3 mm above the minimum level).
160
Checking brake pads for wear
To facilitate inspection without removing the pads from the MIN E
callipers, brake pads have a wear mark. If the grooves in the
pad friction material are still visible, the pad is still in good
condition.
The pads must be replaced when approx. 1 mm of friction

material (fig. 157 and fig. 158) can be seen through the
opening between the callipers.
