Cleaning and renewing the spark plugs
(fig. 74)
Spark plugs are an important part of the engine and should
be checked at regular intervals.
Spark plug condition provides a good measure of engine
condition.
Have the spark plugs inspected or replaced at a Ducati Dealer
or Authorized Workshop. Firstly, they will check the colour of
the ceramic insulator of the central electrode: an even brown
colour is a sign that the engine is in good running order.
Secondly, they will check the central electrode for wear
and measure electrode gap. The electrode gap should be:
0,6÷0,7 mm.
Important
A gap outside the specified limits will adversely
affect engine performance and may lead to difficult
starting or erratic idling.
