close the fuel petcock when the engine is not running to
prevent flooding of the throttle body. Do not overfill fuel tank
(see instructions page 54).
Motorcycle exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide
gas. Do not inhale exhaust gases and never run the engine in
a closed garage or confined area.
Use only Ducati approved parts and accessories.
This motorcycle was not intended to be equipped with a
sidecar or to be used to tow any trailer or other vehicle.
Ducati does not manufacture sidecars or trailers and cannot
predict the effects of such accessories on handling or
stability, but can only warn that the effects will be adverse
and any damage to motorcycle components caused by the
use of such accessories will not be remedied under
warranty.
Warning
Do not ride the motorcycle with helmets attached to
the hook; the helmets could cause an accident by distracting
the operator or interfering with normal vehicle operation.
Protective apparel
Always wear a helmet. Most motorcycle accident fatalities
are due to head injuries.
For safety eye protection, gloves, and high top, sturdy boots
should also be worn.
The exhaust system becomes very hot during operation,
never touch the exhaust system. Wear clothing that fully
covers your legs. Do not wear loose clothing which could
catch on the control levers, footrests, wheels, or chain.
Any amount of alcohol will significantly interfere with
your ability to safely operate your motorcycle. Don’t drink
and ride.
Vehicle identification number (VIN)
Every Ducati motorcycle is identified by two identification
numbers (see page 10). Figure A specifically shows the
frame identification numbers.
