Oil And Filter Change:
Typically every 7,500-10,000 km or annually, whichever comes first (check manual).
Desmo Service Valve Check:
Critical service, typically every 12,000 km or 24,000 km depending on engine generation and specification (essential to follow manual recommendations).
Belt Replacement:
Timing belts require replacement at specific intervals, usually every 2-4 years or 24,000 km (check manual).
Clutch Inspection:
Regular inspection of clutch plates for wear, particularly due to dry clutch operation.
Brake Fluid:
DOT 4 (or DOT 5.1 if specified by Ducati, check manual)
Coolant:
Not applicable (Air-cooled engine)
Clutch Hydraulic Fluid:

Desmodromic System:
Proper maintenance of the desmodromic valve system is critical to prevent premature wear or valve damage. Adhering to service intervals is paramount.
Dry Clutch Wear:
Dry clutches can be noisy and may wear faster than wet clutches if not properly maintained or if ridden aggressively.
Electrical Connections:
Some older Ducati models may experience issues with corroded electrical connectors; regular inspection is advised.
Fuel Pump Reliability:
While generally robust, fuel pump issues can occur; the manual will aid in diagnosis.
