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 and 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 158.
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.
