Ducati DESERTX, Owner'S Manual, Page: 38 / 332

Intended use
Attention
This motorcycle was designed for both road use
and for off-road and dirt road use. Off-road use,
even for an experienced rider, can result in the rider
losing control of the vehicle, thereby increasing the
risk of accidents.
Attention
This motorcycle may not be used to tow any
trailers or with a side-car attached; this can lead to
loss of control and result in an accident.
This motorcycle carries the rider and can carry a
passenger.
Attention
The total weight of the motorcycle in running
order with rider, passenger, baggage and additional
accessories must not exceed 465 kg/1025.15 lb.
Important
Using the motorcycle under extreme
conditions, such as very damp and muddy roads or
dusty and dry environment, could cause above-
average wear of components like the drive system,
the brakes or the air filter. If the air filter is dirty, the
engine could get damaged. Therefore, this might
translate in required service or replacement of the
wear parts earlier than specified in the scheduled
maintenance chart.
