Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are
entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably fore‐
seeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be

Maintaining the battery charge
Attention
The electric system of this motorcycle 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.
If battery is not kept at a minimum charge level by

could get damaged if voltage drops under 8 V. Fig 26
Connector (1) is located under the rider seat (2), on
the left side.
To reach it, remove the two screws (3) on both sides
and remove the rider seat (2). 2

Attention
Use only the Ducati-approved battery charger

Do not use the battery charge maintainer kit part no.
69924601A (various countries) or battery charge
maintainer kit no. 69924601AX (for Japan, China and
Australia only), as it is specific for lead batteries.
Connect the maintainer to the diagnostics socket (1). Fig 27

52
 Note
Using charge maintainers or battery chargers
for lithium batteries not approved by Ducati could
damage motorcycle electric system and/or lithium
battery; motorcycle warranty does not cover the
battery if damaged due to failure to comply with the
above indications, since it is considered as improper
maintenance.
Important
Vehicles equipped with lithium batteries must
never use devices such as Jump Starters or auxiliary
batteries connected in parallel to the lithium battery
if the latter has discharged to a level that does not
allow starting. The cells of a lithium battery, if deeply
discharged, can be irreparably damaged if they are
recharged with unlimited currents, as is the case with
connections to Jump Starters and/or parallel
connections to charged batteries.

53
When the motorcycle is left unused (approximately
for more than 30 days). We recommend owners to A
use the Ducati battery charge maintainer (Battery
maintenance kit) since its electronics monitors the
battery voltage and features a maximum charge
current of 1.5 Ah. Connect the battery maintainer to
the diagnostic socket.

handlebar and is secured to the steering head. It
provides stable and accurate steering, improving the
motorcycle's handling response under any
conditions. 1
The shock absorber is adjusted by electric impulses
sent by the instrument panel to the adjuster inside
the damper body.
There are usually only two events requiring
adjustment of the damping level selected by the
rider, i.e.:
1) High-frequency wobbling: the motorcycle Fig 31
steering will undergo fast movements due to an
impulse (e.g., when landing after a wheelie).
Increase steering damping power, so decrease
the number of clicks of the steering damper.
2) Low-frequency weaving: the motorcycle will
tend to move to the side in a winding manner
and in general will considerably slide (e.g.,
during a high-speed acceleration). Decrease
steering damping power, so increase the
number of clicks of the steering damper.

Front fork adjustment
The motorcycle fork is completely adjustable.
Fork rebound and compression are adjusted through
electric impulses with Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 controlled
semi-active mode sent by the instrument panel to
the adjusters inside the fork legs.
Spring preload: 9 mm (0.35 in).
Attention
Have the preload adjusted at a Ducati Dealer or
authorised Service Centre.

Adjusting the rear shock absorber
The rear shock absorber has adjusters that enable
you to suit the setting to the load on the motorcycle.
Attention
The shock absorber is filled with gas under
pressure and may cause severe damage if taken
apart by unskilled persons.
When carrying a passenger and luggage, set the rear
shock absorber spring to proper preload to improve
motorcycle handling and keep safe clearance from
the ground (work ring nuts to set spring preload). You
may find that rebound damping needs adjusting as Fig 33

Refuelling
Never overfill the tank when refuelling. Fuel should
never be touching the rim of filler recess.
Warning
The fuel pressure inside the tank may, in extreme
cases, cause fuel to “spray” when opening the fuel
cap.
Always open the fuel cap slowly and carefully during
the refill.
If you hear an audible hiss from the cap while
opening it, wait until the stop of the hissing before
opening it completely.
The sound is residual pressure escaping from the
fuel tank, therefore the stop of the hiss indicates
that there is no more residual pressure.
The situation described above is more likely in hot
weather conditions.
Attention
Use fuel with low lead content and an original
octane number of at least 95.

At the pre-set deadlines, it will be necessary to

contact your Dealer who will carry out the
maintenance scheduled for the deadline indicated
on the instrument panel.
Using the dedicated diagnosis instrument, the
Dealer will confirm that the service has been
performed and postpone the next due deadlines.
The history of routine maintenance is saved on
Ducati's servers in order to certify that it has been
carried out (it is a digital maintenance booklet).
The bike owner is able to see the performed services
both in the MyGarage reserved area (on Ducati.com

Setting Menu - Riding Mode - DES
This function allows selecting the control type of the
electronic suspensions of each riding mode.
This system communicates with the Bosch inertial
platform to dynamically respond to changing road
and riding conditions, thereby ensuring the best
possible damping performance and total control of
the motorcycle. It features two operating modes:
Fixed, which is not an active mode and allows the
rider to set specific compression and rebound
settings for the front and rear suspensions (as well as
the steering damper preload). These settings are
maintained steady by the system until rider changes
them, as it happens on a suspension system with
standard adjustment. As an alternative, system
features the Event Based mode, which is semi-active
and allows the rider to select suspension "behaviour"
levels, from hard to soft. In this mode, system
dynamically adjusts compression, rebound and
hardness of the damper depending on riding
conditions, while still keeping to the overall
"behaviour" level previously selected by the rider.

Brake Support parameter
By adjusting the brake support parameter it is
possible to increase or decrease the resistance to
pitching when braking.
By increasing the level, the fork will dampen more
slowly and in a more controlled way.
By decreasing the level, the damping speed
increases.

Fig 104

156
Front Fork and Shock Absorber parameter
By adjusting the front fork and shock absorber
parameters it is possible to increase (+) or decrease
(-) the total damping of each component.
In the Race A and Race B Riding Modes, modifying
both parameters by the same value can be useful to
adjust the total damping based on the rider
preferences, different grip levels and track features.
Modifying the parameters separately allows
changing the front and rear balancing separately.
In the Sport and Street Riding Modes, set both the
targets towards COMFORT to improve the damping Fig 105
of the road bumps and impacts. Set both targets
more towards STABILITY to increase the damping of
the frame wobbling. Set the front and rear
parameters separately to adjust the front fork and
the rear shock absorber individually and change the
front and rear balancing.

157
Steering Damping parameter
By adjusting this parameter it is possible to increase
or decrease the steering total damping level. Set the
parameter towards LOW DAMPING to reduce the
steering damping and for a more agile riding style.
Set the parameter towards HI DAMPING to have
more resistance to oscillations.
Acceleration parameter (available only in the
“Race A” and "Race B" Riding Modes)
By setting the acceleration parameter it is possible
to express the rider preference between grip and Fig 106
stability during harsh accelerations. Set the
parameter more towards GRIP to optimise the
system so as to obtain more grip on the rear wheel
and the best contact with the ground. Set the
parameter towards STABILITY to reduce the frame
wobbling.

Fig 107

158
Mid Corner parameter (available only in the
“Race A” and "Race B" Riding Modes)
By setting the parameter of the curve centre it is
possible to express the rider preference between
grip and stability in bends. Set the parameter more

the best contact with the ground. Set the parameter
towards STABILITY to reduce the frame wobbling.

 Attention
Changing the final drive ratio is only allowed for circuit (racetrack) use of the motorcycle, not on public
roads.
Attention
In the event of front sprocket and/or rear sprocket replacement, after performing the “Tyre Calibra‐
tion” procedure, it is necessary to go to an authorised Ducati dealer who will perform a “drive adaptive
system reset” with the diagnosis instrument. This allows you to avoid false plausibility diagnoses related to
the final drive ratio modification.
Attention
Changing the final drive ratio immediately makes the warranty null and void and the motorcycle can
not be used on public roads as it no longer corresponds to the type-approved version.

The Ducati Power Launch (DPL) helps the rider in the delicate sport starting phase from a standstill to
control the power delivered by the vehicle.
The DPL system works with three intervention levels, each calibrated to offer a different start assist degree.
The following table indicates the most suitable DPL intervention level depending on the various starting
types. All levels are to be intended optimised for OEM (Original Equipment Manufactured) tyres.

1 High Use focused on the best performance for very expert riders.

Checking drive chain tension
Important
Have chain tension adjusted by a Ducati Dealer
or authorised Service Centre.
Make the rear wheel turn until you find the position
where chain is tightest. Set the motorcycle on the
side stand. With just a finger, push down the chain at
the point of measurement and release.
Measure the distance (A) between the centre of the A
chain pins and the plastic section of the chain sliding
shoe. It must be: A = (21 ÷ 23) mm (0.83 ÷ 0.90 in).
Important
This only applies to the motorcycle STANDARD
settings, available upon delivery.

Fig 197
256
 Attention
Correct tightening of swinging arm screws (1) is
critical to rider safety.
Important 1
Improper chain tension will lead to early wear of
transmission parts.
Important
To ensure the best performance and long life of
the chain, please follow the information related to
chain cleaning, lubrication, inspection and
tensioning. Fig 198

257
Lubricating the drive chain
Important 1
Have drive chain cleaned by a Ducati Dealer or
authorised Service Centre.
Attention
Carry out these inspection operations with the
engine off, the vehicle at a standstill, on a flat ground 2
and on the stand.
Cleaning
Before proceeding with the chain lubrication it is
important to correctly wash and clean it.
3
The chain cleaning is extremely important for its
duration. In fact, it is necessary to remove any mud,
soil, sand or dirt from the chain first using a soft
damp cloth (1) to soften the most resistant dirt and
then with a jet of water and then dry it immediately
using compressed air at a distance of at least 30 cm 4
(11.81 in).
Checking the chain
The chain fitted on your motorcycle has O-rings that
keep dirt out of and lubricant inside the sliding parts. 5
Check the chain for wear by checking the links at the
points indicated (2).

bike, it is possible that excessive wear of the links
occurs due to the contact with the chain sliding shoe;
friction could in fact cause the chain to overheat,
altering the heat treatment of the links and making
them particularly fragile.

259
Lubrication
Important
Have drive chain cleaned by a Ducati Dealer or
authorised Service Centre.
Attention
Use SHELL Advance Chain to lubricate the
chain; the use of non-specific lubricants could
damage the O-rings and therefore the entire drive
system.
It is recommendable to lubricate the chain without
waiting for it to cool down after using the Fig 200
motorcycle, so that the new lubricant can penetrate
better between the inner and outer links and be
more effective in its protective action.
Place the bike on the rear paddock stand. Make the
rear wheel turns fast in the opposite direction to the
direction of travel.

260
Apply the lubricant jet (1) inside the chain between
the inner and outer links, in point (2) immediately
before the engagement point on the sprocket.
Due to the centrifugal force, the lubricant, made
fluid by the solvents contained in the spray, will
expand in the working area between the pin and the
bush, ensuring perfect lubrication.
Repeat the operation by aiming the lubricant jet to 2
the central part (5) of the chain so as to lubricate the
rollers (4), and to the outer plates (6) as shown in the 1
figure.

After lubrication, wait 10-15 minutes to allow the
lubricant to act on the internal and external surfaces
of the chain and then remove the excess lubricant
with a clean cloth.
Important
Do not use the motorcycle immediately after
lubricating the chain as the lubricant, still fluid,
would be centrifuged outwards causing possible
soiling of the rear tyre or the rider's footpeg.
Important
Check the chain often, taking care to lubricate
it, as also indicated in the table below: at least every Fig 203

Aligning the headlight
Check correct headlight aiming. Position the
motorcycle 10 m (32.8 ft) from a wall or a screen, the
motorcycle must be perfectly upright with the Tyres
inflated to the correct pressure and with a rider
seated, perfectly perpendicular to the longitudinal
axis. On the wall or surface, draw a horizontal line at
the same height from the ground as the centre of
the headlight and a vertical line aligned with the
longitudinal axis of the motorcycle. If possible,
perform this check in dim light. Switch on the low
beam and adjust right and left beams. The height of
the upper limit between the dark area and the lit area Fig 205
must not be more than 9/10 of the height from the
ground of the headlight centre.

264
 Note 1
This is the procedure specified by Italian
regulations for checking the maximum height of the 2
light beam. Please adapt said procedure to the
provisions in force in your own country.
To align the headlight beam, turn the screws (1) and
(2) located at the front of the vehicle, on both sides.
Screw (1), positioned on the left side, acts on the high
beam:
● turn clockwise to lower the light beam;
● turn counter clockwise to raise the light beam. Fig 206
Screw (2), positioned on the right side, acts on the
low beam:
● turn clockwise to lower the light beam;
● turn counter clockwise to raise the light beam.
Attention
The headlight might fog up if the motorcycle is
used under the rain or after washing. Switch
headlight on for a short time to dry up any
condensate.

Vehicle transport
Before transporting the motorcycle using another
vehicle, follow the safety instructions below.
1) Remove all loose objects and accessories from
the vehicle;
2) Align the front wheel straight in the riding
direction and lock it properly to prevent any
movement;
3) Engage the first gear;
4) Use the anchoring straps and apply them to
strong components (e.g. frame) and NOT to the
handlebar (or handlebars, where present) or to
components that could break (e.g. handgrips, Fig 213
rear-view mirrors, etc.);
5) The straps or ropes must NOT rub against any
painted motorcycle components;
6) The suspensions, if possible, must be in a
partially compressed position so as to allow less
movement of the vehicle with respect to the
road surface during transport.
Attention
Do NOT attach the ropes to the handlebars.

Scheduled maintenance chart: operations to be carried out by the dealer

Attention
This scheduled maintenance chart is designed for a road use of the Panigale V4S. If it is used on the
track, even if not during sport competitions, all parts of the motorcycle are more stressed so the routine
maintenance operations must be carried out more frequently than indicated.
Attention
Please contact a Ducati Dealer or authorised Service Centre where you can receive customised service
advice according to the sport use you make of your Panigale V4S.

Important
Using the motorcycle under extreme conditions, such as very damp and muddy roads or dusty and dry
environment, could cause above-average wear of components like the drive system, the brakes or the air
filter. If the air filter is dirty, the engine could get damaged. Therefore, this might translate in required
service or replacement of the wear parts earlier than specified in the scheduled maintenance chart.

 Important
Do not use any additives in fuel or lubricants. Using them could result in severe damage of the engine
and motorcycle components.
Attention
The motorcycle is only compatible with fuel having a maximum content of ethanol of 10% (E10).
Using fuel with ethanol content over 10% is forbidden. Using it could result in severe damage of the engine
and motorcycle components. Using fuel with ethanol content over 10% will make the warranty null and void.
Important
These references identify the fuel recommended for this vehicle, as specified by the European
Regulation EN228.

Attention
This model has been equipped with wet clutch. Therefore, the use of Ducati Corse Performance Oil by
Shell is not allowed, unless the Ducati Performance dry clutch is installed.
Using this oil with standard clutch (wet clutch) would lead to engine damage.

286
Using Ducati Corse Performance Oil by Shell with Ducati dry clutch kit accessory

Note
A Shell engine oil that maximises the performance of V4 engines with a dry clutch is available (only in
certain markets).
This oil can be used after the running-in period but requires a number of recommendations that must be
adhered to.
Attention
Using this oil with standard clutch (wet clutch) would lead to engine damage.
This oil must not be used with Ducati models not equipped with V4 engines with dry clutches.
Due to its characteristics, the oil level must be checked before every ride as oil consumption will be higher
than during standard road use.
Do not mix other oils with this type of Shell oil for racing use (without considering the residual oil left inside
the engine after draining).
Shake the bottle before use.
This oil requires a dedicated maintenance schedule with shorter intervals than the standard ones.
Performance

The oil must be changed after 1,000 km/600 miles or every 12 months.
Failure to follow these instructions will invalidate any warranty claims against Ducati, including those for
engine damage.
