Keys (fig. 4)
Your Ducati was delivered with two universal keys for
ignition, steering lock and seat catch and a key
identification plate (1).
Note
Separate the two keys and keep the identification
plate (1) in a safe place.
Ignition switch and steering lock (fig. 5)
It is located in front of the fuel tank and has four
positions:
A) ON: lights and engine enabled;
B) OFF: lights and engine disabled;
C) LOCK: steering locked;
D) P: parking light and steering lock.
Warning
The 998 model is equipped with an energy-saving
CPU. If the key stays ON for a long period but the ignition
button is not pressed within 15 seconds, the CPU will
stop operating to avoid current absorption. Move the key
to OFF and then to ON again.
Note
To move the key to the last two positions, press it
down before turning it. Switching to (B), (C) and (D), you
will be able to take the key out.
