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;
drain the fuel from 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;
place the motorcycle on the paddock stand;
disconnect and remove the battery. Battery should be
checked and charged or replaced whenever the
motorcycle has been left unridden for over a month;
protect the motorcycle with a suitable canvas that will
protect paintwork and let condensate breathe out.
The canvas is available from Ducati Performance.
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.
