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 inner walls of the cylinder; 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 a specific motorcycle cover that will not damage the paintwork or retain moisture. This type of motorcycle cover is available from Ducati Performance. 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 63
