Monster 696/696+
- M.Y. 2009 - edition 00
Use and maintenance
1 - Preliminary checks
Running-in precautions
Maximum engine speed
Rpm limits to be observed during the running-in period and in normal use:
1 up to
1000
km;
2 from
1000
to
2500
km.
Maximum engine speed up to 1000 km
During the first
1000
km keep an eye on the rev counter. The indicator must not exceed
5500-6000
rpm. During the first hours
of riding, it is advisable to continuously vary the load on the engine and the rpm, though still keeping within the above limits.
For this reason, roads with numerous bends and hilly areas are ideal for running in the engine, brakes and suspension. For the
first 100 km, use the brakes gently. Do not brake violently or keep brake applied for too long. This will enable a correct break-in
of friction material on brake pads against brake discs. To allow all the mechanical moving parts of the motorcycle to adapt to one
another and above all to avoid adversely affecting the life of basic engine parts, it is advisable to avoid harsh acceleration and not
to run the engine at high rpm for too long, especially uphill. It is also advisable to check the drive chain frequently and ensure that
it is lubricated as required.
Maximum engine speed from 1000 to 2500 km
At this point, you can squeeze some more power out of your engine, being careful, however, never to exceed
7000
rpm.
Keeping strictly to these recommendations will extend the life of your engine and reduce the likelihood of overhauls or tune-ups.
Important
Throughout the running-in period, be careful to stick to the recommended maintenance schedule and periodic service intervals
indicated in the warranty booklet. Failure to comply with these rules will release Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A. from any liability
whatsoever for any engine damage or shorter engine life.
0 to 1000 km
