Ducati Hyperstrada User Manual

Warning
The side stand must be fully up (in a horizontal
position) as its safety sensor prevents engine start
when down.
Note
It is possible to start the engine with side stand
down and the gearbox in neutral. When starting the
motorcycle with a gear engaged, pull the clutch lever
(in this case the side stand must be up).
Check that the stop switch (2, Fig. 121) is positioned
to
(RUN), then press the starter button
(3, Fig. 121).
Allow the engine to start on its own, without turning
the throttle twistgrip.

If the battery is flat, system automatically
inhibits starter motor cranking operation.
Important
Do not rev up the engine when it is cold. Allow
some time for oil to be heated and reach all points
that need lubricating.
