Ducati 1299 Panigale S 2015, Owner'S Manual

Page: 257 / 321

Important
During the first 1000 km (running-in period), i.e.
when the Odometer displays a value <= (lower than
or equal to) 1000 km, the pre-warning area, indicated
in orange (orange area), both for the bargraph filling
and the display of the relevant number, is displayed
when reaching 6000 rpm. During the running-in
period we recommend not to exceed 6000 rpm, thus
the instrument panel will not display the bargraph
"Orange area".
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 use the brakes gently. Avoid
sudden or prolonged braking. This will allow the
friction material on the brake pads to bed in against
the brake discs.
For all mechanical 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 as required.
