The immobilizer systemFor im proved anti-theft protection, the m otorcycle isequipped w ith an IM M O BILIZER, an electronic systemthat inhibits engine operation w henever the ignitionsw itch is turned off.Accom m odated in the handgrip of each ignition key is an

electronic device that m odulates an output signal. Thissignal is generated by a special antenna incorporated inthe sw itch w hen the ignition is turned on and changesevery tim e. The m odulated signal acts as a passw ordand tells the CPU that an "authorised" ignition key isbeing used to start up the engine. W hen the CPUrecognises the signal, it enables engine start-up.

Keys (fig. 4.1)The O w ner receives a set of keys com prising:- 1 RED key A- 2 BLACK keys B

The keys B are regular ignition keys and are used to:- start up the engine- open the lock of the fuel tank filler plug- open the seat lock.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Running-in recom mendations

Max. rotation speedRotation speed for running-in period and during standarduse (rpm ):1) up to 1000 km ;2) from 1000 to 2500 km ;3) after 2500 km .

Up to 1000 kmD uring the first 1000 km , keep the revolution m eterunder control. The indicator m ust not exceed:6000 rpm .D uring the first hours of riding, it is advisable to run theengine at varying load and rpm , though still w ithinrecom m ended lim it.To this end, roads w ith plenty of bends and even slightly

hilly areas are ideal for a m ost efficient running-in ofengine, brakes and suspensions.For the first 100 km , use the brakes gently. D o not brakeviolently or keep brake applied for too long. This w illenable a correct break-in of friction m aterial on brakepads against brake discs.

For all m echanical parts of the m otorcycle to adapt toone another and above all not to adversely affect the lifeof basic engine parts, it is advisable to avoid harshaccelerations and not to run the engine at high rpm fortoo long, especially uphill.Furtherm ore, the drive chain should be inspected

frequently. Lubricate it as required.

From 1000 to 2500 kmAt this point, you can squeeze som e m ore pow er out ofyour engine, being careful, how ever, never exceed:7500 rpm .

ImportantD uring the w hole running-in period, the

m aintenance and service rules recom m ended in thism anual should be observed carefully.Com pliance w ith the above instructions is a prerequisitefor W arranty validity. Failure to com ply w ith these rulesw ill release D ucati M otor H olding S.p.A. from any liabilityw hatsoever for resulting engine dam age or shorterengine life.

BrakingSlow dow n in tim e, shift dow n to engine-brake first andthen brake applying both brakes. Pull the clutch leverbefore stopping the m otorcycle, to avoid sudden enginestop.

WarningU se both brake lever and pedal for effectivebraking. U sing only one of the brakes w ill give you lessbraking pow er.N ever use brake controls harshly or violently or you m aylock the w heels and lose control of the m otorcycle.W hen riding in the rain or on slippery surfaces, brakingw ill becom e less effective. Alw ays use the brakes verygently and carefully w hen riding under these conditions.Any sudden m anoeuvres m ay lead to loss of control.W hen tackling long, high-gradient dow nhill road tracts,shift dow n gears to use engine braking. Apply one brakeat a tim e and use brakes sparingly. Keeping the brakesapplied all the tim e w ould cause the friction m aterial tooverheat and reduce braking pow er dangerously.U nderinflated tyres reduce braking efficiency, handlingaccuracy and stability in a bend.

M oving off1) D isengage the clutch squeezing the control lever.2) Push dow n on gear change lever sharply w ith the tipof your foot to engage the first gear.3) Speed up engine, by turning the throttle tw istgrip andslightly releasing the clutch lever at the sam e tim e. The

m otorcycle w ill start m oving off.4) Let go of clutch lever and speed up.5) To shift to second gear, close the throttle to slowdow n engine, disengage the clutch right aw ay, lift thegear change lever and let go of clutch lever.Repeat the sam e procedure to shift to 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th.To shift dow n, release the tw istgrip, pull the clutchcontrol lever, shortly speed up to help gears synchronize,shift dow n and release the clutch.The controls should be used correctly and tim ely: w hen

riding uphill do not hesitate to shift dow n as soon as them otorcycle tends to slow dow n, so you w ill avoid luggingthe engine and stressing the m otorcycle abnorm ally.

Crankcase Emission Control SystemThe engine is equipped w ith a closed crankcase systemto prevent discharging crankcase em issions into theatm osphere. Blow -by gas is returned to the com bustioncham ber through the air cleaner and the throttle body.Evaporative Em ission Control SystemCalifornia m otorcycles are equipped w ith an evaporativeem ission control system w hich consists of a charcoalcanister and associated piping. This system prevents theescape of fuel vapors from the throttle body and fuel tank.

y yand effective vehicle operation.A m otorcycle does not provide the im pact protection ofan autom obile, so defensive riding in addition to w earingprotective apparel is extrem ely im portant.

D o not let protective apparel give you a false sense ofsecurity.Before changing lanes, look over your shoulder to m akesure the w ay is clear. D o not rely solely on the rear viewm irror; you m ay m isjudge a vehicles distance and speed,or you m ay not see it at all.W hen going up steep slopes, shift to a low er gear so thatthere is plenty of pow er to spare rather than overloadingthe engine.W hen applying the brakes, use both the front and rearbrakes. Applying only one brake for sudden braking m aycause the m otorcycle to skid and lose control.W hen going dow n long slopes, control vehicle speed byclosing the throttle. U se the front and rear brakes forauxiliary braking.Riding at the proper rate of speed and avoidingunnecessarily fast acceleration are im portant not only forsafety and low fuel consum ption but also for long vehiclelife and quieter operation.

W hen riding in w et conditions or on loose roadw aysurfaces, the ability to m aneuver w ill be reduced. All ofyour actions should be sm ooth under these conditions.Sudden acceleration, braking or turning m ay cause lossof control.

The throttle should also be used judiciously to avoidskidding the rear w heel from too rapid acceleration ordeceleration.O n rough roads, exercise caution, slow dow n, and grip

the fuel tank w ith your knees for better stability.W hen quick acceleration is necessary as in passing, shiftto a low er gear to obtain the necessary pow er.D o not dow n shift at too high an r.p.m . to avoid dam ageto the engine from overreving.Avoiding unnecessary w eaving is im portant to the safetyof both the rider and other m otorists.D o not exceed the legal speed lim it or drive too fast forexisting conditions. H igh speed increases the influenceof any condition affecting stability and the loss of control.O perate m otorcycle only at m oderate speed and out oftraffic until you have becom e thoroughly fam iliar w ith itsoperation and handling characteristics under allconditions. This is a very high perform ance m otorcycle,designed and intended for use by experienced carefulriders only!A new m otorcycle m ust be operated according to aspecial break-in procedure (see Running inrecom m endations).
