Cleaning and replacing the spark plugs
(fig. 87)
Spark plugs are essential to smooth engine running
and should be checked at regular intervals.
This operation provides an indication of engine
condition.
Have the spark plugs inspected or renewed at a
Ducati Dealer or Authorised Service Centre. Firstly,
they will check the colour of the ceramic insulator of
the central electrode: a uniform light brown colour
indicates good engine condition.
Note
Inspect the centre electrode for wear and check
spark plug gap, which should be:
0.8÷0.1 mm.
Important
A gap outside the specified limits will adversely
affect engine performance and may lead to difficult
starting or erratic idling.
