Storing the bike away
If the motorcycle is to be left unridden over long periods,
it is advisable to carry out the following operations before
storing it away:
clean the motorcycle;
undo the drain plug with its seal and empty the fuel tank;
pour a few drops of engine oil into the cylinders through
the spark plug seats, then crank the engine by hand a
few times so a protective film of oil will spread on
cylinder inner walls;
use the supplied stand to support the motorcycle;
disconnect and remove the battery. Battery should be
checked and charged whenever the motorcycle has been
left unridden for over a month.
Protect the motorcycle with a suitable canvas available
from Ducati Spare Parts Department. This will protect
paintwork and let condensate breathe out.
Important notes
Some countries, such as France, Germany, Great Britain,
Switzerland and so on, have compulsory emission and
noise standards that include mandatory inspections at
regular intervals.
Carry out any required inspection and replace any parts
using Ducati original spare parts complying with local law.
