Facilitates the ordering of replacement parts for any component needing service or repair.
Cross Referencing:
Allows for cross-referencing of superseded part numbers with current part numbers.
Depth:
High, for parts identification and ordering. Does not include repair procedures, torque specifications, or diagnostic information, which would be found in a Service Manual.
Major Service Interval:
Refer to the official Ducati Service Manual for precise intervals. Typically, major services involving Desmo service (valve adjustment) are recommended every 12,000 km (7,500 miles) or as per manufacturer's schedule.
Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 6,000 km (3,750 miles) or annually, whichever comes first. Always use specified Ducati oil filters (e.g., 426.4.005.1A).
Engine Oil Capacity:
Approx. 3.8 liters (with filter change). Consult the Service Manual for exact capacity.
Coolant Type:
If liquid-cooled (some variants may be air-cooled only, but EVO generally had a radiator). Use a mixture of distilled water and ethylene glycol-based coolant (e.g., Motorex Coolant M3.0 or equivalent).
Brake Fluid:
DOT 4 or DOT 5.1 for hydraulic clutch and brake systems.
Potential Wear Items:
Clutch plates, chain and sprockets, brake pads, tires, and fork seals are common wear items given the performance-oriented nature of the bike.
Desmodromic Maintenance:
The Desmodromic valve system requires precise adjustment and regular checks at specified intervals to maintain optimal performance and prevent damage.
Electrical Connections:
As with many European motorcycles of this era, ensuring all electrical connections are clean and secure is important to prevent intermittent faults.
Brand Focus:
Ducati is renowned for its sporting heritage, V-twin engines (L-twins), and premium performance motorcycles, often featuring Desmodromic valve actuation.
Hypermotard Lineage:
The Hypermotard concept originated from a desire to combine the agility of a supermotard with Ducati's signature performance and style. The 1100 series was a significant iteration of this concept.
Evo Variant:
The 'EVO' designation typically signifies an evolution or updated version of the base model, often with refinements in engine performance, suspension, or styling.
Production Period:
The Ducati Hypermotard 1100 was produced from approximately 2007 to 2012. The EVO variants were part of this generation.
Manufacturing Location:
Ducati motorcycles are primarily manufactured in Bologna, Italy.
