Lubricating cables and joints

The condition of the outer sheaths of the throttle and

fast-idle cables should be checked at regular intervals.

The sheaths should show no signs of squeezing or

cracking.

Work the controls to make sure the cable slides smoothly

inside the sheath: if you feel any friction or hard spots,

have the cable replaced by a Ducati Dealer or Authorized

Workshop.

To prevent these failures, smear the ends of the flexible

cables with SHELL Advance Grease or Retinax LX2 at

regular intervals.

For the throttle cable, it is best to open the device by

unscrewing the two fastening screws (1, fig. 31.1) and

then grease the cable ends and the pulley.

Warning

When refitting the cover, be sure to slide the cable

onto the suitable pulley.

Refit the cover and tighten the screws (1).

To ensure smooth operation of the side stand joint, clean

off any dirt and apply SHELL Alvania R3 at all points

exposed to friction.

Checking brake pads for wear (fig. 30)

To facilitate inspection without removing the pads from

the calipers, brake pads have a wear mark. If the grooves

in the friction material are still visible, the pad is still in

good condition.

Important

Have the brake pads replaced at a Ducati Dealer or

Authorized Workshop.
