It includes a two-way microswitch - built in the lever
mechanism - that outputs a signal to the engine
control unit whenever the gearchange is operated.
The system works in a separate way for upshifting
and downshifting, and combines the action on
ignition advance and injection, available in the upshift
system, with controlled throttle opening for operation
during downshifting. Extent and duration of these
actuations aim at ensuring excellent engagement
smoothness under any riding condition; system
works in synergy with slipper clutch and EBC during
downshifting.
When downshifting, according to the EBC level set
by the rider, the DQS strategy changes the extent and
duration of throttle opening so as to modulate engine
brake exactly when a lower gear is engaged. With
EBC set to OFF and 1, rider obtains maximum engine
brake; medium engine brake in level 2 and the least
engine brake in level 3.

The Engine Braking Control (EBC) system controls
engine braking when riding with throttle control
completely closed (both when downshifting and in a
normal cut-off with the same gear engaged, while
braking or not). This system independently adjusts
the throttles to ensure a consistent torque goes back
from the wheel to engine during these stages.
The system allows the rider to set "engine brake”, the
range being from a maximum engine braking with
system set to OFF and progressively decreasing as
level increases.
System is particularly sensitive at high rpm and
sensitivity gradually decreases as soon as engine rpm
decrease.
Warning
EBC is a rider aid that can be used both on the

Level depends on grip conditions
The choice of level setting depends greatly on the
grip conditions of the track/path.
Level depends on type of track/path
If the track/path requires consistent braking (always
aggressive or always smooth), it will be easier to find
a level suitable for all braking instances; while a track/
path requiring different braking power will require an
EBC level setting that is the best compromise for all
instances.

The Ducati Wheelie Control system (DWC) elements help the rider control the motorcycle,

settings vary through eight different levels that are presence of an active safety system should not

prevention and less strong reaction to the same, if it
occurs.
Warning
DWC is a rider aid that can be used on both the
riding easier and to enhance safety, but in no way
relieves the rider of the obligation to drive responsibly
and to maintain a high standard of riding in order to
avoid accidents, whether caused by his own errors or
those of other road users, through making
emergency manoeuvres, in accordance with the
prescriptions of the road traffic code.

If the track/path features bends where out speed and

Tips for use on the track
We recommend to use level 8 for a couple of full laps
in order to get used to the system. Then try levels 7,
6, etc., in succession until you identify the DWC
sensitivity level that suits you best (always try each
level for at least two laps to allow the tyres to warm

you find the one that suits you best.

adverse weather conditions.
ABS is an electro-hydraulic device that controls the
pressure in the brake circuit when the control unit, by
processing information from wheel sensors,
determines that one or both wheels are about to lock
up. In this case, pressure decrease in the brake circuit
allows the wheel to carry on turning, thereby
preserving grip. After that, the control unit restores
the pressure in the brake circuit, to resume the
braking action. This cycle is repeated many times until
the problem is completely eliminated. Normally, the
rider will perceive ABS operation as a harder feel or a
73
Warning
Using the two brake controls separately
reduces the motorcycle braking power. Never use
the brake controls harshly or suddenly as you may
cause rear wheel lift-up and lose control of the
motorcycle. When riding in the rain or on slippery
surfaces, braking will become less effective. Always
use the brakes very gently and carefully when riding
under these conditions. Any sudden manoeuvres
may lead to loss of control. When tackling long, high-
gradient downhill road tracts, shift down gears to use
engine braking. Apply one brake at a time and use
brakes sparingly. Keeping the brakes applied all the
time would cause the friction material to overheat and
reduce braking power dangerously. Underinflated
and overinflated tyres reduce braking efficiency,
handling accuracy and stability in a bend.

Low / High beam A 1
This function allows you to reduce current

consumption from the battery, by managing
headlight switching-on and off.
At Key-On, the high beam and low beam lights are
OFF, only the parking lights are turned on.
Once the engine is started, the low beam is turned B
on; with engine running the standard operation of the
lights is restored: it is possible to switch on and OFF
the high beam using button (1) in position (A), or flash
using button (1) in position (B). If the engine is not
started after Key-ON, it is still possible to turn on the
low/high beam by pressing button (1) in position (A)
on the left switch; press it once to turn on the low
beam; any further time you press it you switch
between low and high beam.

If engine is not started within 60 seconds since the
button was first pressed, the low and high beam
lights are turned OFF.
If the low beam or high beam was turned on before
starting the engine (with the procedure described
above), the headlight turns off automatically when
starting the engine and will turn ON again when the
engine has been completely started.
Turn indicators
Turn indicators are automatically reset by the
instrument panel.
After activating one of the two turn indicators, user
can reset them using the button (3, Fig. 122) on the
left switch.
If the turn indicator is not reset manually, the
instrument panel will automatically switch it off after
the motorcycle has travelled 500 m (0.3 miles) from
when the turn indicator was activated. The counter
for the distance travelled for automatic deactivation
is only activated at speeds below 80 km/h (50 mph).
If the calculation of the distance for automatic
deactivation is activated and then the motorcycle
exceeds a speed of 80 km/h (50 mph), the calculation
will be interrupted and will restart when the speed
returns below the indicated threshold.

Parking function
Note
If there is a sudden interruption in the battery
while the function is active, the instrument panel will

The Immobilizer system
For improved antitheft protection, the motorcycle is
equipped with an IMMOBILIZER, an electronic
system that inhibits engine operation whenever the
ignition switch is turned off.
Accommodated in the handgrip of each ignition key
is an electronic device that modulates an output
signal. When the ignition is turned on this signal is
generated by a special antenna incorporated in the
switch and changes every time.
The modulated signal represents the “password”
(which is changed at each start-up) by which the ECU
recognizes the ignition key. The ECU will only allow
the engine to start if it recognises this password.
211
Keys
The owner receives 2 keys with the vehicle.
B
These keys contain the "immobilizer system code".
The keys (B) are regular ignition keys and are used to:
- start up the engine;
- open the fuel tank filler plug;
- open the seat lock.
Warning
Separate the keys and use only one of the two
to ride the bike.
Fig. 125
212
Operation
When the ignition key is turned to OFF, the
immobilizer inhibits engine operation.
If the other key does not work out either, contact the
Ducati Service network.
Warning
Strong impacts could damage the electronic
components inside the key. During the procedure
always use the same key. Using different keys may
prevent the system from acknowledging the code of
the inserted key.
213
Duplicate keys
If you need any duplicate keys, contact the Ducati
Service network with all the keys you have left.
The Ducati Service Centre will program all the new
keys as well as any keys you already have.
You may be asked to provide proof that you are the
legitimate owner of the motorcycle.
The codes of any keys not submitted will be wiped
off from the memory to make those keys
unserviceable in case they have been lost.
Note
If the motorcycle owner changes, it is
necessary that the new owner is given all keys.
214

During the first 1000 km, keep an eye on the rev
counter. It should never exceed: 5,500÷ (included)
6,000 rpm.
During the first hours of riding, it is advisable to run
the engine at varying load and rpm, though still within
recommended limit.
Strict observance of running-in recommendations will
ensure longer engine life and reduce the likelihood of
overhauls and tune-ups.
244
Important
During the first 1000 km (running-in period), i.e.
when the Odometer displays a value <= (lower than
or equal to) 1000 km, the pre-warning area, indicated
in orange (orange area), both for the bargraph filling
and the display of the relevant number, is displayed
when reaching 6000 rpm. During the running-in
period we recommend not to exceed 6000 rpm, thus
the instrument panel will not display the bargraph
"Orange area".
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 suspensions.
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.
For all mechanical parts of the motorcycle to adapt to
one another and above all not to adversely affect the
life of basic engine parts, it is advisable to avoid harsh
accelerations and not to run the engine at high rpm
for too long, especially uphill.
Furthermore, the drive chain should be inspected
frequently. Lubricate as required.

Warning
Correct tightening of swinging arm screws (1) is
critical to rider safety.
Important
Improper chain tension will lead to early wear of
transmission parts.
Fig. 182
271
Chain lubrication
The chain fitted on your motorcycle has O-rings to
protect its moving parts from dirt, and to hold the
lubricant inside.
The seals might be irreparably damaged if the chain
is cleaned using any solvent other than those specific
for O-ring chains or washed using steam or water
cleaners.
After cleaning, blow the chain dry or dry it using
absorbent material and apply SHELL Advance Chain
or Advance Teflon Chain on each link.
Important
Using non-specific lubricants may cause severe
damage to the chain and the front and rear sprockets.

Beam setting
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 9 x x
a distance of 10 metres. then draw a horizontal line 10

perform this check in dim light. Turn the low beam on
and adjust both the right-hand and left-hand light
beam: the height of the light spot (measured at the
upper limit between dark and lighted-up area) should Fig. 184
not exceed 9/10th of the height from ground of
headlamp centre. Note
This is the procedure specified by Italian
regulations for checking the maximum height of the
light beam. Please adapt said procedure to the
provisions in force in your own country.
275
To adjust the headlight beam, turn the four screws (1)
and (2) located at the front, on the right and left side
