Tubeless tyre pressure Front tyre: 220 Kpa (2.2 bar - 32.3 psi) Rear tyre: 240 Kpa (2.4 bar - 35.2 psi) As tyre pressure is affected by temperature and altitude variations, you are advised to check and adjust it whenever you are riding in areas where ample variations in temperature or altitude occur. Important Check and set tyre pressure when tyres are cold. To avoid front wheel rim distortion, when riding on bumpy roads, increase front tyre pressure by 0.2 - 0.3 bar. Tyre repair or replacement (Tubeless) In the event of a tiny puncture, tubeless tyres will take a long time to deflate, as they tend to keep air inside. If you find low pressure on one tyre, check the tyre for punctures. Warning A tyre must be replaced when punctured. Only fit tyres of the same type as original-equipment tyres. Be sure to tighten the valve caps securely to avoid leaks when riding. Never use tube type tyres. Failure to heed this warning may lead to sudden tyre bursting and to serious danger to rider and passenger. After replacing a tyre, the wheel must be balanced. Important Do not remove or shift the wheel balancing weights. Note If tyres need replacing, contact a Ducati Dealer or Authorised Workshop to make sure wheels are removed and refitted correctly.

Tubeless tyre pressure
Front tyre:
220 Kpa (2.2 bar - 32.3 psi)
Rear tyre:
240 Kpa (2.4 bar
- 35.2 psi)
As tyre pressure is affected by temperature and altitude
variations, you are advised to check and adjust it whenever
you are riding in areas where ample variations in
temperature or altitude occur.
Important
Check and set tyre pressure when tyres are cold.
To avoid front wheel rim distortion, when riding on bumpy
roads, increase front tyre pressure by 0.2 - 0.3 bar.
Tyre repair or replacement (Tubeless)
In the event of a tiny puncture, tubeless tyres will take a
long time to deflate, as they tend to keep air inside. If you
find low pressure on one tyre, check the tyre for
punctures.
Warning
A tyre must be replaced when punctured.
Only fit tyres of the same type as original-equipment tyres.
Be sure to tighten the valve caps securely to avoid leaks
when riding. Never use tube type tyres. Failure to heed
this warning may lead to sudden tyre bursting and to
serious danger to rider and passenger.
After replacing a tyre, the wheel must be balanced.
Important
Do not remove or shift the wheel balancing weights.
Note
If tyres need replacing, contact a Ducati Dealer or
Authorised Workshop to make sure wheels are removed
and refitted correctly.
