Tubeless tyres Front tyre pressure: 2,1 bar - 2.3 kg/cm2 Rear tyre pressure: 2,2 bar - 2.4 kg/cm2 Tyre pressures are affected by temperature and altitude variations, so you are advised to check and adjust them whenever you are riding in areas with wide variations in temperature or altitude. Tyre repair or replacement (Tubeless) In the event of a minor puncture, tubeless tyres will take a long time to deflate, as they tend to keep 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 use tube type tyres. Failure to heed this warning may lead to sudden tyre bursting and to serious danger to rider. After replacing 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. 82
