Owner's manual US/CANADA

We'd like to welcome you among Ducati enthusiasts and congratulate you on your excellent choice of

motorcycle. We imagine you'll be riding your Ducati motorcycle for long trips as well as short daily excursions.

Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A. wishes you smooth and enjoyable riding.

Your motorcycle is the result of constant research and development by Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A., so it's

important that the standard of quality is upheld through careful observance of the scheduled maintenance

chart and the use of original spare parts. In the Owner's Manual you'll find instructions for performing small

maintenance procedures. The most important servicing and maintenance procedures are contained in the

Service Manual available at Authorized Service Centers of Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A..

In your own interest, for your safety and in order to guarantee product reliability, we strongly recommend

that you go to an Authorized Dealer or Service Center for any servicing included on the scheduled

maintenance chart (see page 204).

Our highly skilled staff has access to the special tools and equipment needed to perform any servicing

procedure with expertise. They use only Ducati original spare parts as the best guarantee for full

interchangeability, smooth running and long life.

All Ducati motorcycles come with a Warranty Booklet. The Warranty does not extend to motorcycles used

in competitions or competitive trials. Any tampering or even partial modification of the components will result

in automatic invalidation of Warranty rights. Incorrect or insufficient servicing procedures, use of non-original

spare parts or parts not explicitly approved by Ducati may lead to the invalidation of the Warranty, besides

potential damage and reduced performance.

Have fun!
