Maintenance
|
|
Service Intervals
|
|
Oil Change Interval:
|
Typically every 7,500 km or 12 months, whichever comes first. Manual will specify exact interval and conditions.
|
|
Valve Clearance Interval:
|
Often at 10,000 km or 24,000 km intervals, depending on the specific engine and Ducati's recommendations. Crucial procedure detailed in manual.
|
|
Timing Belt Replacement:
|
Desmodromic engines utilize belts for camshafts. Replacement intervals are critical, typically around 10,000-24,000 km. Manual will provide exact interval and procedure.
|
|
Fluid Specifications
|
|
Engine Oil Type:
|
Viscosity grade typically 15W-50 or 20W-50 (e.g., SAE 15W-50). Oil specification (e.g., API SG or higher, JASO MA) will be critical. Manual will provide exact specification and capacity.
|
|
Brake Fluid Type:
|
DOT 4 or DOT 5.1. Manual will specify exact type and recommended brand/standard.
|
|
Coolant Type:
|
Typically air-cooled, but if any minor liquid cooling is present (e.g., oil cooler), manual will specify coolant type and mixture. For these models, likely no coolant.
|
|
Gearbox Oil Type:
|
Manual will specify gearbox oil type (e.g., SAE 75W-90 or 10W-40) and capacity.

|
Known Issues
|
|
Common Wear Items:
|
Timing belts (routine replacement critical), clutch plates (dry clutch wear is normal), front fork seals (leaks can occur with age/mileage), electrical connections (corrosion in damp climates).
|
|
Potential Electrical Issues:
|
Age-related issues like regulator/rectifier failure or stator winding degradation can occur. Wiring loom integrity is important.
|
|
Fuel System Maintenance:
|
Injector cleaning or replacement might be needed over time. Fuel filter maintenance is also important.
