may lead to motorcycle damage and injury to rider.
Before riding, perform a thorough check-up on your
motorcycle as follows:

(page 271).

Check fluid level in the relevant reservoirs (page
276).

Check coolant level in the expansion reservoir.
Top up if needed (page 275).

Check tyre pressure and condition (page 295).
- CONTROLS
Work the brake, clutch, throttle and gear change
controls (levers, pedals and twistgrip) and check
for proper operation.

Make sure lights, indicators and horn work
properly. Replace any burnt-out bulbs (page 291).

the correct position (page 250).
Warning
In case of malfunction, do not ride the
motorcycle and contact a Ducati Dealer or authorised
Service Centre.
To ensure trouble-free operation, the engine coolant
pump of your Panigale V4 requires a breather. This
means that it is possible that a very small quantity of
coolant oozes out of the breather hole positioned in
the upper part of the crankcase, and this will not affect
proper operation of the engine or the cooling system.
