Tubeless tyres
For information on tyre type and inflation pressure,
see the "Tyres" sub-section in the "Technical
specifications" section.
Important
Check and set tyre pressure when tyres are
cold. To avoid front wheel rim distortion, when riding
on bumpy roads, increase 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.
Attention
Punctured tyres must be replaced. Replace
tyres with recommended standard tyres only. 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.
Attention
Do not remove or shift the wheel balancing
weights.
Note
Have the tyres replaced at a Ducati Dealer or
authorised Service Centre. Correct removal and
installation of the wheels is essential. Some parts of
the ABS (such as sensors and phonic wheels) are
mounted to the wheels and require specific
adjustment.
