Regular maintenance for the 2019 Ducati Monster 797+

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 engine oil level

Check brake fluid level

Check tyre pressure and wear

Check the drive chain tension and lubrication

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

General Information on the 2019 Ducati Monster 797+

The Monster 797 and 797+ are the entry-level machines in the Monster category and are both powered by the same 803cc air-cooled L-twin that pumps out a claimed 75 hp at 8250 rpm, wrapped in the traditional Monster tubular steel trellis chassis.

As such, the frame, engine, Sachs suspension and Brembo brakes are not changed from what you could buy in 2018, but there’s new colors for the 797+ in the Star White Silk with a black frame and black wheels and Ducati Red with a red frame and black wheels color schemes.
