Tubeless tyres
Front tyre pressure:
2.1 bar - 2.3 Kg/sq. cm
Rear tyre pressure:
2.2 bar - 2.4 Kg/sq. cm
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 adjust the pressures with the tyres
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.
Warning
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.
Important
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.
