Storing the motorcycle If the motorcycle is to be left unridden over long periods, you should perform the following procedures before storing it away: clean the motorcycle; empty the 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 service stand; disconnect and remove the battery. If the motorcycle has been left unused for more than a month, the battery should be checked and recharged if necessary. Protect the motorcycle with a specific motorcycle cover that will not damage the paintwork or retain moisture. The canvas is available from Ducati Performance. Important notes Some countries, such as France, Germany, Great Britain, Switzerland, etc. have compulsory emission and noise standards that include mandatory inspections at regular intervals. Periodically carry out the required checks and replace parts as necessary using Ducati original spare parts to be in compliance with regulations in the given country. 130
