 Riding with a full load
Your motorcycle is designed for travelling over long
distances with a full load in complete safety.
Even weight distribution is critical for maintaining safety
standards, and to avoid getting into difficulties when making
sudden manoeuvres or riding on bumpy roads.

Information on load capacity

E The total weight of the motorcycle in running order with
rider, luggage and additional accessories should not exceed
320 kg (single seat)
390 kg (dual seat)

Arrange your luggage or heavy accessories in the lowest

possible position and as close to centre of the motorcycle as
possible.
Secure the luggage firmly to the motorcycle structure.
Luggage incorrectly secured may cause the motorcycle to
become unstable.
Never attach bulky or heavy objects to the top yoke or front
mudguard, as this would cause dangerous instability.
Do not insert objects into gaps in the frame, where they
could interfere with moving parts.
Check that the tyres are inflated to the pressure indicated
on page 63 and that they are in good condition.

Identification data
All Ducati motorcycles have two identification numbers,
one for the frame (fig. 1) and one for the engine (fig. 2).

 Automatic headlight switch-off function (dual seat
version)
This function helps reduce battery use by automatically
switching off the headlight.
The device is triggered in two cases:
- in the first case, if you turn the key from OFF to ON and
do not start the engine, After 60 seconds the headlight
will be deactivated and will only be reactivated the next
E time the key is turned from OFF to ON or the engine is
started.
- in the second case, after normal use of the motorcycle
with the lights on, if the engine is shut off using the
ENGINE STOP switch (1, fig. 13). In this case, 60 seconds
after the engine is stopped, the headlight will be turned
off and will only be turned on again the next time the
engine is started.

Notes
Also during engine starting, the system turns the
headlight off and turns it back on once the engine has
started.

Keys (fig. 7)
The owner receives a set of keys, comprising:
- 1 key A (RED)
The red key is a service tool and is part of the motorcycle’s
immobilizer system. B A
It contains the code of the immobilizer system and should
not be used for normal everyday use of your motorcycle.
Your dealer may ask you to produce the red key in order to
carry out certain service operations. For security reasons,
the red key cannot be replaced. In cases where the red key
is required for servicing purposes and the owner is unable to
produce it, it will be necessary to renew the motorcycle’s
electronic control unit, instrument panel and ignition switch
assembly, and the cost of these operations will be met by
the owner. It is therefore important to keep the red key in a
safe place.

 Notes
The three keys have a small tag (1) attached,
which shows their identification number.

Warning
Keep the keys separate, and store the tag (1) and

E It is also advisable to use only one of the black keys to
start the motorcycle.

Code card
The keys come with a CODE CARD (fig. 8), which shows: the
electronic code (A, fig. 9) to be used if the engine is locked,
fig. 8

The EOBD warning light (7, fig. 4.1) goes off after the
pre-set time of 8 seconds.
2) Release the throttle as soon as the EOBD warning light
turns off.
3) The EOBD warning light will light up and start flashing.
E
Now enter the electronic release code shown on the
CODE CARD given to the customer when the
motorcycle was handed over by the dealer.
4) Count the number of flashes of the EOBD (7, fig. 4.1)
light equal to the first number of the secret code.
Open the throttle twistgrip, keep fully open for
2 seconds, then release. The digit entered is
acknowledged, and the EOBD light comes on and stays
on for the pre-set time of 4 seconds. Repeat the
operation until you have entered the final digit. If no
operation is performed with the throttle twistgrip, the
EOBD light will flash 20 times and then illuminate
steadily. In this case, repeat the procedure from step (1).
5) When you release the throttle, if the code was entered
correctly, the EOBD light will flash to indicate that the
engine is unlocked. The EOBD light returns to its normal
state (off) after 4 seconds.
6) If the code was NOT entered correctly, the EOBD light
will remain lit and the procedure can be repeated as
many times as necessary by turning the key to OFF,
then starting again from step (1).

 Headlight aim (fig. 55)
To check the headlight aim, place the motorcycle upright
with the tyres inflated to the correct pressure and one person
sitting astride the motorcycle. The motorcycle should be
perfectly vertical, with its longitudinal axis at right angles to a
wall or screen at a distance of 10 metres. Draw a horizontal
line on the wall at the height of the centre of the headlight
and a vertical one in line with the longitudinal axis of the 9 x x
E motorcycle. 10
If possible, perform this check in conditions of low ambient
light.
Switch on the low beam headlight. 10 m
The height of the upper limit between the dark area and the
lit area must not be more than nine tenths of the height of
the centre of the headlamp from the ground. fig. 55

Notes
