Carrying the maximum load allowed
Your motorcycle is designed for long-distance riding,
carrying the maximum load allowed in full safety.
Even weight distribution is critical to preserving safety
features and avoiding trouble when performing sudden
manoeuvres or riding on bumpy roads.
Information about carrying capacity
The total weight of the motorcycle in running order
including rider, luggage and additional accessories should
not exceed 310 Kg.
Arrange your luggage or heavy accessories in the lowest
possible position and close to motorcycle centre.
Be sure to secure the luggage to the supports provided
on the motorcycle as firmly as possible. Improperly
secured luggage may affect stability.
Never fix bulky or heavy objects to the handlebar or to
the front mud guard as this would affect stability and
cause danger.
Do not insert any objects you may need to carry into the
gaps of the frame as these may foul moving parts.
Make sure the tyres are inflated to the proper pressure
indicated at page 51 and that they are in good condition.
Accessories
The motorcycle is supplied with canvas cover, paddock
stand, racing kit consisting of carbon fibre exhaust pipes
and injection CPU.
Important
For assembling the racing kit contact a Ducati
Dealer or Authorized Workshop. The motorcycle
equipped with this racing kit is not suitable for road use
and can be used on racing track only.
