Storing the motorcycle If the motorcycle is to be left unused for a long period, it is advisable to carry out the following operations first: clean the motorcycle; drain the fuel from fuel tank; pour a few drops of engine oil into the cylinders through the spark plug bores, then turn the engine over by hand a few times to form a protective film of oil on the cylinder inner walls; place the motorcycle on the paddock stand; disconnect and remove the battery. If the motorcycle has been left unused for more than a month, the battery should be checked and re-charged if necessary. Protect the motorcycle with the special cover available from Ducati Performance that will not damage the paintwork or retain moisture. Important notes The legislation in some countries (France, Germany, Great Britain, Switzerland etc.) sets certain noise and pollution standards. Periodically carry out the required checks and renew parts as necessary, using Ducati original spare parts, in compliance with the regulations in the country concerned. E 83
