Tubeless tyres
Front tyre pressure:
2.2 bar
Rear tyre pressure:
2.2 bar
Note
To ride with a passenger, increase rear tyre pressure to
2.4 bar.
As tyre pressure is affected by temperature and altitude
variations, you are advised to check and adjust it whenever
you are riding in areas where ample variations in temperature
or altitude occur.
Important
Check and set tyre pressure when tyres are cold.
To avoid front wheel rim distortion, when riding on bumpy
roads, increase front tyre pressure by 0.2 - 0.3 bar.
Tyre repair or change (Tubeless tyres)
In the event of a tiny puncture, tubeless tyres will take a long
time to deflate, as they tend to keep air inside. If you find low
pressure on one tyre, check the tyre for punctures.
Warning
A tyre must be replaced when punctured.
Only fit tyres of the same type as original-equipment tyres.
Be sure to tighten the valve caps securely to avoid leaks
when riding. Never use tube type tyres. Failure to heed this
warning may lead to sudden tyre bursting and to serious
danger to rider and passenger.
After replacing a tyre, the wheel must be balanced.
Important
Do not remove or shift the wheel balancing weights.
Note
If tyres need replacing, contact a Ducati Dealer or
Authorised Workshop to make sure wheels are removed and
refitted correctly.
