Useful tips
Ducati recommends you to follow the instructions below in order to prevent problems and obtain the best
result:
- when diagnosing faults, primary consideration should always be given to what the customer reports
about motorcycle operation since this information can highlight faults; your questions to the customer
concerning symptoms of the fault should be aimed at clarifying the problem;
- diagnose the problem systematically and accurately before proceeding further. This manual provides
the theoretical background for troubleshooting; this basis must be combined with personal experience
and attendance at periodic training courses held by Ducati;
- repair work should be planned carefully in advance to prevent any unnecessary downtime, for example
obtaining the required spare parts or preparing the necessary tools, etc.;
- limit the number of operations needed to access the part to be repaired. Note that the disassembly
procedures in this manual describe the most efficient way to reach the part to be repaired.
- Always use top quality tools. When lifting the motorcycle, only use devices that fully comply with the
relevant European directives.
- When working on the motorcycle, always keep the tools within reach, ideally in the order required, and
never put them on the motorcycle or in hard-to-reach or inaccessible places.
- The workplace must be kept clean and tidy at all times.
- Always replace gaskets, sealing rings and split pins with new parts.
- When loosening or tightening nuts or screws, always start with the largest or start from the centre;
tighten nuts and screws to the specified torque working in a cross pattern.
- Always mark any parts and positions which might easily be confused upon reassembly.
- Use exclusively Ducati original spare parts and the recommended brands of lubricants.
- Use special tools where specified.
- Ducati Technical Bulletins often contain updated versions of the service procedures described in this
manual. Check the latest Bulletins for details.
Carbon monoxide
When a maintenance operation must be performed with the engine running, make sure that the working
area is well-ventilated. Never run the engine indoors.
Warning
Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, which is a poisonous gas that can cause unconsciousness or even
death if inhaled.
Run the engine outdoors or, if working indoors, use an exhaust gas extraction system.
Fuel
Always make sure the working area is well ventilated. Keep any sources of ignition, such as cigarettes, open
flames or sparks, well away from working area and fuel storage area.
Warning
Fuel is highly flammable and can explode under certain conditions. Keep away from children.
Hot parts
Warning
The engine and exhaust parts become hot when the motorcycle engine is running and will stay hot for some
time after the engine has been stopped. Wear heat-resistant gloves before handling these components or
allow the engine and exhaust system to cool down before proceeding.
Warning
The exhaust system might be hot, even after engine is switched OFF; pay particular attention not to touch
exhaust system with any body part and do not park the motorcycle next to inflammable material (wood,
leaves etc.).
Warning
Prolonged or repeated contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer. If working with engine oil on a
daily basis, we recommend washing your hands thoroughly with soap immediately afterwards. Keep away
from children.
Brake dust
Never clean the brake assembly using compressed air or a dry brush.
Brake fluid
Warning
Spilling brake fluid onto plastic, rubber or painted parts of the motorcycle may cause damages. Protect
these parts with a clean shop cloth before proceeding to service the system. Keep away from children.
Battery
Warning
The battery gives off explosive gases; never cause sparks or allow naked flames and cigarettes near the
battery. When charging the battery, ensure that the working area is properly ventilated.
Each Ducati motorcycle has two identification numbers - the frame number and the engine number - and an
EC nameplate (A) not present on the U.S.A. version.
Note
Please quote these numbers, which identify the motorcycle model, when ordering spare parts.

The only possible adjustment on the rear shock absorber is spring preload.
Turn adjuster (1) using the suitable wrench to set.
Turn adjuster clockwise to decrease spring preload, turn counter clockwise to increase preload.
The position of the gear change and rear brake pedals in relation to the footpegs can be adjusted to suit
the preferred riding position.
To adjust the position of the gearchange pedal, proceed as follows.
hold the linkage (1) and slacken the counter nuts (2) and (3).
Fit an open-end wrench to hexagonal element of linkage (1) and rotate until setting pedal in the desired
position.
Pull in the lever (1) towards the throttle twistgrip to operate the front brake. The system is hydraulically
operated and you just need to pull the lever gently. The brake lever has an adjuster (2) for adjusting the
distance between lever and the handlebar.
To adjust it, keep lever (1) fully extended, and turn adjuster (2), turning it in correspondence of one of the
four foreseen positions.
Position 1 corresponds to maximum distance between brake lever and handlebar, while position 4
corresponds to minimum distance.
The throttle grip in all steering positions must have 2 to 4 mm of free play.
To adjust, work the relevant adjuster (1) located on the control itself.
Check the outer sheath of the throttle control cable for damage at regular intervals.
The plastic covering should show no signs of pinching or cracking.
Lubricate the ends of Bowden cables with the specified grease periodically to ensure they run freely.
Operate the control to check that the inner cable slides smoothly inside the outer cable: if you feel
excessive resistance or stiffness, replace the cable.
To lubricate the throttle control you need to loosen the two retaining screws (3) and remove cover (2).
Check through the slot between the two calliper halves, and make sure that at least 1 mm of the friction
material on pads is visible.
Important
Change both pads even if just one of them is worn.
Note
Change pads that have a shiny or "vitrified" appearance.
Operate the brake pedal repeatedly so that the pads firmly bed in against the disc thanks to the brake fluid
pressure.
Check that the fluid level inside reservoir is between the MIN and MAX marks.
If this is not the case, unscrew the reservoir cover and top up.
Warning
Brake fluid is corrosive and will damage paint. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. In case of accidental
contact, wash thoroughly with water.
Important
On handing over the motorcycle after changing the brake pads, inform the Customer that the front brake
must be used gently for the first 100 km to allow the pads to bed in completely.
Insert new pads and spring (4). Fit the centring pin (3) and fasten it with safety split pin (2).
Pay utmost attention to spring (4) aiming, arrow must be pointing to wheel direction of rotation.
Slowly move the motorcycle until you find the position where chain is tightest.
Set the motorcycle on the side stand.
Measure chain tension at the centre of the lower section, with the motorcycle on the side stand: lower the
chain by pressing down on it only with your finger, release it and measure the distance between the centre
of the chain pins and the aluminium section of the swingarm.
Value (A) must be: 27 ÷ 29 mm
Once the adjustment is completed, tighten nut (1) to a torque of 145 Nm ± 5%.
Excessive handlebar play or shaking fork in the steering head indicate that the play of the steering head
bearings requires adjustment as follows.
Undo the four screws (1), remove U-bolt (2) and handlebar (3) from steering head, setting it so as not to
hinder the following operations.
Slacken the clamp screws (4) securing the steering head to both fork legs.
Loosen the clamp screw (5) that holds the steering tube to the steering head.
Turn with tool no. 88713.1058 the ring nut (6) to a torque of 30 Nm ±5%.
Reposition handlebar (3), install U-bolt (2), smear screws (1) with specified grease and tighten the four
screws (1) to 25 Nm ±5%, following a 1-2-3-4-3 sequence.
Warning
A wrong adjustment can seriously affect the clutch operation and duration.
A worn clutch tensions the clutch cable. Always check the free play, with cold engine, before using the
vehicle.
Warning
Lever free play adjustment must be carried out with cold engine and with the motorcycle on its side stand
and the handlebar fully turned to the right.
When operating the clutch lever (1), you must clearly feel the passage from a very low resistance to a very
high resistance (operating force).
The free play corresponds to the lever travel where the clutch resistance force is very low.
Determine ring nut (2) and adjuster (3) position; ring nut (2) must be at a distance (A) of at least 5 mm
from the lever rotation plate (4) and must not touch edge (5) of stop plate (6).
Operate the lever through its free play and check that distance "B" is between 2 mm and 3 mm.
Adjuster (3), located on the lever, allows a maximum adjustment (C) of 11 mm, whereas the standard
adjustment (starting one) is of 5 mm.
• To increase distance (A), increase the free play by tightening adjuster (10) and then working adjuster
(3).
• To decrease distance (A), decrease the free play by loosening adjuster (10) and then working adjuster
(3).
Tighten lock nut (9) to the specified torque while holding adjuster (10) and bring protective caps (7) and
(8) back in place.
Repeat all the tests.
Changing the fluid in the rear brake circuit Unscrew the cover (6) of the rear brake fluid reservoir (7).
Attach a transparent plastic tubing to the bleed valve (8) and insert the other end of the tubing in a
container placed on the floor.
Attention

The rectifier/regulator consists of an aluminium casing containing the diodes that rectify the current
produced by the generator. It also contains an electronic device that regulates the current supplied by the
generator in accordance with battery voltage.
If the battery is drained, the current has the value necessary to restore optimum operating conditions of
the battery itself.
While, if the battery is fully charged, the current value will be lower.
Note
Check the charging current by using the "DDS 2" diagnosis instrument.
Disconnect the voltage regulator connector (2) and the generator connector (3).
Loosen the two front screws (4) on regulator (1) and remove regulator.
Important
Do not disconnect the battery cables when engine is running because this would cause irreparable damage
to the regulator.
Regulator fuse
The 30 A fuse, positioned inside electromagnetic switch (5), protects the electronic regulator.
To reach the fuse, disconnect connector (6), remove protection cap (7) and remove fuse (A).
Warning
Never use a fuse with a rating other than the specified value. Failure to observe this rule may damage the
electric system or even cause fire.
The generator used on the Scrambler has a rated power of 490 W at 14 V and consists of a fixed element
(stator/generator, A), located in the generator cover and a mobile element (rotor/flywheel, B) fastened to
the crankshaft.
Rotor (B) is manufactured with strong permanent magnets and features a lot of pin pairs for each stator
phase. This allows generating alternate voltage at a higher frequency compared to a standard generator.
The result: at low rpm it is possible to generate higher current.
Important
Check the charging current by using the "DDS" diagnosis instrument.
Attention
Before testing, disconnect the generator wiring from the electrical system when the ignition key is set to
OFF.
Rpm Active voltage Minimum voltage Maximum voltage
1500 rpm 20.8 V 18.9 V 24.5 V
2500 rpm 34.3 V 31.4 V 40.4 V
Values significantly lower than those indicated above can be due to:
- partially demagnetised rotor;
- short-circuited windings.
In the above cases the whole generator assembly (rotor and stator) should be replaced.
If checks have a favourable outcome, reconnect the generator to the regulator with ignition key on OFF.
Make sure that no cables are damaged or disconnected.
For the removal procedure refer to chapter "Removing the flywheel/generator assembly".
For the refitting procedure refer to chapter "Refitting the flywheel/generator assembly".
Warning
Before carrying out any operations on the battery, keep in mind the safety standards. When under charge,
batteries produce explosive gases. Keep batteries away from heat sources, sparks or open flames.
Important
Never try to open the battery as it is sealed, it does not require maintenance operations or to be filled in
with acid or other types of liquids. Consequently, it does not need any operation upon its installation on the
vehicle.
Note
Always keep the battery clean. Apply grease around the battery terminals to prevent corrosion.
Warning
Never remove the valve cover located on top of the cover. If the block, cover or terminals are broken or if
the valve cover has been tampered with, IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY TO REPLACE THE BATTERY.
Important
If the motorcycle is left unused for more than 30 days, remove the battery and store it in a safe, cool
place.
Warning
The battery gives off explosive gases; never cause sparks or allow naked flames and cigarettes near the
battery. Check that during the battery charge, the area ventilation is adequate and that the ambient
temperature is lower than 40 °C (104 °F). Do not try to open the battery: it does not require to be filled
with acid or other types of fluids.
Always charge the battery before the first operation and after long storage periods – such as before selling
the vehicle.
Remove belt (1) that retains battery (2). Loosen screw (3). Move cover (4) to reach the battery (2).
Warning
Insulate the ground cable ends you just removed to prevent them from touching the motorcycle.
Position the battery (2). Connect the positive pole by means of screw (6) by tightening it to a torque of 10
Nm ± 10%. Tighten negative pole screw (5) to a torque of 10 Nm ± 10%.
Warning
Before carrying out any operations on the battery, keep in mind the safety standards (General safety rules).
The electrolyte in the battery is toxic and can cause burns if it comes into contact with the skin because it
contains sulphuric acid. Wear protective clothing, a face-mask and goggles when adding electrolyte. If the
fluid comes into contact with the skin, wash thoroughly with fresh water. If it comes into contact with the
eyes, wash thoroughly with water for 15 minutes and consult an ophthalmologist. In the event of accidental
ingestion, drink large quantities of water or milk, and continue with milk of magnesia, a beaten egg or
vegetable oil. Do not allow sparks, flames, cigarettes or any other heat source to get near the battery, as it
produces explosive gases. When recharging or using the battery indoors, make sure that the room is
adequately ventilated. Do not inhale the gases produced during recharging. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF
CHILDREN.
Place the battery on a flat surface. Remove the protective film (1).
Warning
Make sure that the electrolyte is of the specific type for your battery.
Remove the container with the electrolyte from the plastic bag.

Warning
Do not peel or perforate the sealed areas.
Place the electrolyte container (2) upside down. Align the six sealed elements with the six filler holes on the
battery. Push the container (2) downwards with sufficient force to break the seals and allow the fluid to
flow out.
Make sure that air bubbles emerge from all six filler holes. Leave the container in this position for at least
twenty minutes.
If no bubbles emerge from one of the holes, tap gently on the bottom of the respective container.
Important
Never move the container away from the battery. Do not cut or puncture the container.
Make sure that all the electrolyte has flowed out. Carefully extract the container (2) from the battery.
Fit the cap strip (3) previously removed from the electrolyte container (2) to the battery, and ensure the
caps plug off all filler holes.
Note
When using an automatic battery charger, ensure that the charger current (ampere) is equal to or higher
than the value of the standard charging system (STD) indicated on the battery itself.
Press firmly downwards with both hands until the caps are firmly in place (do not use a hammer).
Refer to the label on the battery showing the inspection intervals in order to determine when to test the
voltage.
Charge the battery if the open circuit voltage is lower than 12.8 V. Leaving the battery discharged for more
than one month could damage it. Check the battery charge with a voltmeter.
Always check the condition of the battery before recharging and 1 to 2 hours afterwards.
Warning
Pay careful attention to recharging times. Stop charging immediately if the battery becomes too hot to the
touch. Leave to cool before resuming charging.

3 Each time you press the button (1) the displayed number decreases by one (- 1) up to "1" and then
starts back from "0";
4 To confirm the number, press the button (4);
Repeat the procedures until you confirm all the digits of the PIN CODE.
When you press button (4) to confirm the fourth and last digit:
- if the PIN code (A) is correct, the instrument panel shows the message OK for 2 seconds followed by
the "standard screen" and enables the vehicle to start (C);
- if the PIN code (B) is not correct, the instrument panel displays WRONG for 2 seconds and then
highlights the string of four dashes "- - - -" to allow you to try again. The number of possible attempts
is unlimited and determined by a preset time-out of 2 minutes (D). After 2 minutes, the instrument
panel shows the standard screen and does not allow the vehicle to start (E).
Important
If this procedure is necessary in order to start the motorcycle, contact an Authorised Ducati Service Centre
as soon as possible to fix the problem.
Note
The vehicle can be started until a Key-Off is performed. If the problem still persists upon the next starting
attempt, repeat the procedure from the beginning in order to start the motorcycle temporarily again.
When a customer needs spare keys, he/she shall contact a Ducati authorised service centre and bring all
keys he/she still has.
The Ducati authorised service centre will program all new and old keys.
The Ducati authorised service centre may ask to the customer to prove to be the motorcycle owner.
The codes of the keys missing during the programming procedure will be erased to ensure that any lost key
can not start the engine.
Note
If the motorcycle owner changes, it is necessary that the new owner is given all keys.
Every time you turn the key from ON to OFF, the protection system activates the engine block. If also in
this case you are not able to start the engine, contact an authorised Ducati service centre.
Warning
Strong impacts could damage the electronic components inside the key. During the procedure always use
the same key. Using different keys may prevent the system from acknowledging the code of the inserted
key.
Warning
Separate the keys and use only one of the two to ride the bike.
To increase protection against theft, motorcycle features an electronic engine locking system
(IMMOBILIZER) which is automatically enabled upon every Key-Off. Inside of each key handgrip there is an
electronic device that modulates the signal sent by a special antenna integrated in the ignition switch upon
starting. Such modulated signal represents the "password", that changes upon every starting, that allows
the control unit to acknowledge the key and thus starting the engine.
The DUCATI diagnosis instrument allows performing a series of activations to check some instrument panel
functions and resetting parameters or warning lights.
After each activation, the instrument panel will restore its standard functions.
Note
The activations must be performed only with key turned to ON, engine off and battery voltage ≥ 11.0 V.
This activation allows "erasing" the "keys" to reprogramme the Immobilizer System.
Upon receiving this request, the instrument panel resets the previously stored keys.
Upon next Key-On, the Immobilizer System will be "virgin" and it will be possible to reprogramme new
keys.
When replacing the instrument panel with a new one or when reprogramming the Immobilizer System
(because one or both keys got lost).
If the System is "virgin", upon Key-On the instrument panel immediately activates the "Immobilizer
Programming" mode.
Programming procedure:
- insert KEY 1 (one of the two black keys) and turn the key from Off to On;
- within 3 seconds turn the key from On to Off;
- within 15 seconds insert KEY 2 (the other black key) and turn the key from Off to On;
- within 3 seconds turn the key from On to Off;
- within 15 seconds insert KEY X again (no matter if Key 1 or Key 2) and turn the key from Off to On.
- If the procedure was successful the instrument panel shows "PROG." and "OK" for 3 seconds and then
switches to the standard display mode.
The low beam lights are turned on the first time it is pressed; from this moment, the same button can be
used to switch on (and off) the high beam light: if the engine is not started within 60 seconds, the low
beam and high beam that were turned on will turn off. If the headlight was turned on before starting the
engine with the procedure described above, the headlight will turn off automatically when starting the
vehicle and will turn ON again when the engine has been completely started.
Turn indicators
Turn indicators are automatically controlled by the instrument panel.
After activating one of the two turn indicators, user can disable them using button (see Fig 1) 3, on the left
switch.
If the turn indicator is not reset manually, the instrument panel will automatically switch it off after the
motorcycle has travelled 500 m (0.3 miles) from when the turn indicator was activated. The counter for the
distance travelled for automatic deactivation is only activated at speeds below 80 km/h (50 mph).
If the calculation of the distance for automatic deactivation is activated and then the motorcycle exceeds a
speed of 80 km/h (50 mph), the calculation will be interrupted and will restart when the speed returns
below the indicated threshold.
Hazard function
The "Hazard" function turns all four turn indicators on at the same time to signal an emergency condition.
The "Hazard" function is activated by taking button (3) to position (6) for 3 seconds. Activation is only
possible when motorcycle is ON (i.e. when key is turned to "ON" while engine status does not matter).

heights and in two directions at 90° between them to obtain the coupling, tape and ovality value.
In the event of damage or excessive wear the cylinder must be replaced as it has a silicon carbide coating
(which provides the cylinder walls with excellent anti-friction and anti-wear properties) and therefore
cannot be ground.
The cylinders are marked with a letter (stamped in a specific area on the cylinder side) indicating their size
class.
Always match cylinders with pistons from the same size class.

Before assembling the crankcase halves, it is necessary to calculate the shim that determines the end float
of the crankshaft and of the gearbox shafts. Calculate the shimming following the procedures described
below.
After having installed the new main bearings proceed as follows to determine the total “SA” height of the
shimming:
Measure value “LA” between the bearing supporting surfaces on the crankshaft;
Measure “LA1” and “LA2” corresponding to the distance from the mating surface between the crankcase
halves to the mating surface of the bearing inner ring;
Add a pre-load of 0.30 mm to allow the axial-type bearings of the crankshaft to correctly settle in their
seat.
The result will be: SA=LA-LA1–LA2–0.30.
The obtained result is the shimming value.
The crankcase halves must be in good condition and perfectly clean. The mating surfaces must be perfectly
flat and free from burrs.
The following parts must be present on the internal side of the crankcase half:

bearing (14) with inner spacer (21): apply grease on the bearing needle rollers.
Drive the inner race (37), removed previously, fully home in the bearing.
Apply grease to the inner race.
The main bearing (9).
The ball bearing (15) with circlip (36) at the timing layshaft, aiming it so that the plastic cage closed side is
facing the crankcase half.
Check that the gap between crankcase and fitted bearings is not lower than 0.03 mm, otherwise replace
the crankcase halves.
Warning
When overhauling an engine it is good practice to replace all the crankcase bearings.
Replace the bearings (11) and (12) on the ends of the gearbox secondary shaft and timing layshaft
bearings (15) and (16).
When replacing bearings (13) and (14) supporting the gearbox primary shaft, block them on the crankcase
half with spacers (17) and stop plate (18) respectively fixed by screws (19) and (20).
Upon each overhaul it is recommended to replace also the seal ring located between bearing (14) and
chain-side crankcase half: lubricate the ring with denatured alcohol, introduce it fully home in the crankcase
half as shown in the figure.
At each overhaul it is recommended to replace also the sealing ring (22) and the seal ring (23).
Use two screwdrivers to remove the snap ring (1) from the timing layshaft (2) on the clutch-side crankcase
half.
Loosen crankcase half jointing screws (3), (4) and (5) on generator side.
Reuse the generator cover or a service cover with puller (A) part no. 88713.1749 fitted. Secure cover to
crankcase half with some of the original screws and begin separation by turning the central pin of the tool.
Tap the end of the gearbox secondary shaft with a plastic mallet to separate the crankcase halves.
Before starting, check that the crankshaft main bearing and big-end journals are free of burrs or evident
signs of machining: if necessary, clean the surfaces with very fine emery cloth and oil.
Check that the grooves are in perfect condition with no signs of forcing.
Check that each connecting rod is fitted with its centring pins (8) between cap and the relevant shank.
If the crankshaft or one or both con-rods need to be replaced, you must match crankshaft and con-rods
according to their weight, as described in the procedure below:
Check that the progressive number punched on the two parts sides is the same, as shown in the figure.

A A RED RED
B B BLUE BLUE
Insert bearing shells in the connecting rod head matching the tooth (4) with the corresponding marks on
the connecting rod cap and on the connecting rod shank.
Use the indicated product to lubricate the crank pin (5) and the con-rod big end bearing (4).
Fill the recommended grease into the two ends of the hole to lubricate threads and underside of the new
screws (3) and the thread of the shaft.
Warning
The grease utilised is irritant in contact with the skin; wear protective gloves.
Important
Lubrication of con-rod bolts is essential to obtain the correct coupling and to prevent breakage of the parts.
Temporarily fit the gudgeon pin (9) to align the connecting rods.
Using a torque wrench as shown in the figure, tighten screws (3) to the values specified here below:
- tighten to 35 Nm;
- pause of 2 seconds and 360° loosening;
- pre-tighten again to 20 Nm;
- pre-tighten again to 35 Nm;
- tighten to 65 ±1
- torque check 70÷103 Nm.
Remove the feeler gauge and check that connecting rods/crankshaft end float is: 0.15÷0.35 mm.
It is good practice to replace the bearings (4) each time the engine is overhauled.
Spare bearings are supplied ready for fitting and they must not be reworked with scrapers or emery cloth.
The journals for main bearings and crank pin should not be scored or grooved.
The threads, keyways, and slots must be in good condition.
Check for fretting or burrs in the fillet between journal and shoulder.
Fillet radius: 1.5 mm.
Use a micrometer to measure oval and taper value of the crank pin. Measure oval and taper in several
different directions.
Clean all the oilways using suitable diameter metal brushes and then blow with compressed air to remove
any residues that may have accumulated and are restricting the oil flow.
To check the assembly clearance between the bearing shells and crankshaft use a strip (A) of GREEN
"Plastigage PG-1" on the journal.
Fit the connecting rod with the original bearings (4) and tighten the screws (3) to a torque of 49 Nm.
Remove the connecting rod and compare the thickness of the strip to the scale.
If the detected shim, corresponding to the present clearance, does not fall within the specified limits
Important
Take care not to mix up components of different connecting rods and maintain the original orientation.
To disassemble the connecting rod assembly, loosen screws (3) and separate connecting rods (2) from
crankshaft (1).
After separating the crankcase halves, remove the crankshaft (1) complete with connecting rods (2).
