Tubeless tyres Front tyre pressure: 220 220 Kpa (2.2 bar - 32.3 psi) Rear tyre pressure: 240 240 Kpa (2.4 bar - 35.2 psi) As tyre pressures are affected by changes in temperature and altitude, check and adjust them whenever you are riding in areas where there are large variations in temperature or altitude. Tyre repair or replacement (Tubeless) With minor punctures, tubeless tyres take a long time to deflate, as they tend to hold the air inside. If you find that one of the tyres is slightly deflated, check the tyre for slow punctures. Warning Punctured tyres must be renewed. Replace with tyres of the original brand and type. Be sure to tighten the valve dust caps securely to prevent leaks while riding. Never fit tyres with inner tubes, as these can cause the tyre to burst suddenly, with possibly serious consequences for the rider and passenger. After renewing a tyre, the wheel must be balanced. E Important Check and adjust the pressures with the tyres cold. To prevent distortion of the front wheel rim, increase tyre pressure by 0.2 to 0.3 bar when riding on bumpy roads. Important Do not remove or alter the position of the wheel balancing weights. Notes If tyres need changing, contact a Ducati Dealer or Authorized Service Centre to make sure wheels are removed and refitted correctly. 78

Tubeless tyres
Front tyre pressure:
220 220 Kpa (2.2 bar – 32.3 psi)
Rear tyre pressure:
240 240 Kpa (2.4 bar – 35.2 psi)
As tyre pressures are affected by changes in
temperature and altitude, check and adjust them
whenever you are riding in areas where there are
large variations in temperature or altitude.
Important
Check and adjust the pressures with the tyres cold.
To prevent distortion of the front wheel rim, increase tyre
pressure by 0.2 to 0.3 bar when riding on bumpy roads.
Tyre repair or replacement (Tubeless)
With minor punctures, tubeless tyres take a long time to
deflate, as they tend to hold the air inside. If you find that
one of the tyres is slightly deflated, check the tyre for
slow punctures.
Warning
Punctured tyres must be renewed.
Replace with tyres of the original brand and type.
Be sure to tighten the valve dust caps securely to prevent
leaks while riding. Never fit tyres with inner tubes, as
these can cause the tyre to burst suddenly, with possibly
serious consequences for the rider and passenger.
After renewing a tyre, the wheel must be balanced.
Important
Do not remove or alter the position of the wheel
balancing weights.
Notes
If tyres need changing, contact a Ducati Dealer
or Authorized Service Centre to make sure wheels are
removed and refitted correctly.
