Important

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 engine oil level

Check brake fluid level

Check tyre pressure and wear

Check final drive belt tension

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

General Information on the 2017-2018 Ducati XDiavel S

To mount the front pulley the engine cover has been specially redesigned. The final 28/80 ratio corresponds to a drive ratio of 15/43. The XDiavel exhaust is a 2-in-1 system with a chamber-type body and two tail pipes. Exhaust pipe routing deliberately leaves the engine in view; likewise, the central body has been positioned in front of the rear wheel, making it practically invisible.

The twin-cylinder Ducati Testastretta DVT 1262 is a completely new, Euro 4 type-approved engine featuring the DVT (Desmodromic Variable Timing) system. First introduced on the Multistrada 1200, it has been re-thought and recalibrated to put out high torque even at low revs, ensuring fluid, low-rpm power delivery and a full toque curve all the way to the high revs. The Ducati Testastretta DVT 1262 has a maximum power of 156 hp at 9,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 13.1 kgm at 5,000 rpm.
