Regular maintenance for the 2017-2018 Ducati Supersport

This is maintenance that you can do yourself (though the manual says you need a dealer to do it).

Important

Using the motorcycle under extreme conditions, such as very damp and muddy roads or dusty and dry environment, could cause above-average wear of components like the drive system, the brakes or the air filter. If the air filter is dirty, the engine could get damaged. Therefore, this might translate in required service or replacement of the wear parts earlier than specified in the scheduled maintenance chart.

Every 1000 km/600 miles miles OR 6 months (whichever comes earlier, perform the following maintenance:

Check the engine oil level

Check brake fluid level

Check tyre pressure and wear

Check the drive chain tension and lubrication

Check the brake pads. If necessary, contact your dealer to replace pads

Warning

This scheduled maintenance chart is designed for a road use. If it is used on the track, even if not during sport competitions, all parts of the motorcycle are more stressed so the routine maintenance operations must be carried out more frequently than indicated.

General Information on the 2017-2018 Ducati Supersport

The SuperSport is powered by a specially adapted version of the already renowned and appreciated 937 cc twin-cylinder Ducati Testastretta 11°. The wheels mount the new Pirelli Diablo Rosso III tires, 120/70 ZR 17 at the front and 180/55 ZR 17 at the rear.

The ABS system is the 9MP multi-calibration ABS, meaning the rider has the possibility to switch from one configuration to another by selecting the appropriate Riding Mode. The Plexiglas screen can be adjusted with just one hand; riders can raise it 50 mm and so obtain better airflow protection.
