Minimum tread depth
Measure tread depth (S, fig. 40) at the point where tread
is most worn down. It should not be less than 2
mm/0.078 in. and anyway not below the legal limit.
Important
Visually inspect the tyres at regular intervals for
detecting cracks and cuts, especially on the side walls,.
bulges or large spots that are indicative of internal
damage. Replace them if badly damaged.
Remove any stones or other foreign bodies caught in the
tread.
Checking engine oil level (fig. 41)
Engine oil level can be checked through the sight glass
(1) provided on the clutch cover.
When checking oil level, the motorcycle should be
upright and the engine warm.
Allow a few minutes for oil to settle to a steady level
after stopping the engine.
Oil level should be between the marks near the sight
glass. Top up oil level with SHELL Advance Ultra 4, if low.
Undo the filler plug (2) and top up to correct level.
Refit the plug.
Important
Engine oil and oil filters must be changed by a
Ducati Dealer or Authorized Workshop at regular intervals
(see page 35), as specified in the maintenance schedule.
