Running-in recommendations

Max. rotation speed (fig. 20)

Rotation speed for running-in period and during standard

use (rpm):

1) up to 1000 km - 621 miles;

2) from 1000 to 2500 km - 621 to 1553 miles;

3) after 2500 km - 1553 miles.

Up to 1000 km/621 miles

During the first 1000 km/621 miles, keep an eye on the

revolution meter. The indicator must not exceed:

6500-7000 rpm (748);

5500-6000 rpm (996).

During the first hours of riding, it is advisable to run the

engine at varying load and rpm, though still within

recommended limit.

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/62 miles, use the brakes gently. Do

not brake violently or keep brake applied for too long.

This will enable a correct break-in of friction material on

brake pads against brake discs.

For all mechanical moving 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 and tighten it as required.

From 1000 to 2500 km/621 to 1553 miles

At this point, you can squeeze some more power out of

your engine, being careful, however, never exceed:

8000 rpm (748);

7000 rpm (996).

Important

During the whole running-in period, the

maintenance and service rules recommended in the

warranty card should be observed carefully.

Failure to comply with these rules will release Ducati

Motor S.p.A. from any liability whatsoever for resulting

engine damage or shorter engine life.
