Tyres
Front tyre pressure:
2.2 bar.
Rear tyre pressure:
2.2 bar.
As tyre pressures are affected by changes in temperature
and altitude, check and adjust them whenever you are riding
in areas where there are large variations in temperature or
altitude.
Important
Check and adjust the pressures with the tyres cold.
To prevent distortion of the front wheel rim, increase tyre
pressure by 0.2 to 0.3 bar when riding on bumpy roads.
Repairing or renewing tyres
With minor punctures, tyres with inner tubes deflate
relatively quickly. If you find that one of the tyres is
slightly deflated, check the tyre for slow punctures.
Warning
In case of a puncture, change both the tyre and inner
tube. Replace with tyres and inner tubes of the original brand
and type. Be sure to tighten the valve dust caps securely
to prevent leaks while riding. Never fit tubeless tyres, as
this could cause a sudden loss of pressure in the tyre, with
possibly serious consequences for the rider and passenger.
After renewing a tyre and inner tube, the wheel must be
balanced.
Important
Do not remove or alter the position of the wheel
balancing weights.
Notes
If tyres and inner tubes need changing, contact a
Ducati Dealer or Authorized Service Centre to make sure
wheels are removed and refitted correctly.
