All 4-valve Ducatis can be run with unleaded fuel, whereas for 2-valves engines it depends on the Model Year.

20. I need to touch up the paintwork of my red Ducati. How do I find the color code? TOP
The paints used on our bikes are available through the sales network of the manufacturer, an US-based company named PPG.
Below are the PPG codes for the colors used on the last few Model Years.

MANUFACTURER

PPG Metallic Grey 291.601

22. I lost my Warranty Booklet, how can I get a copy?  
Please contact a Ducati Store or your local official Dealer to obtain a free copy of the Warranty Booklet.

23. Is the Parts Catalogue for my Ducati available to buy?  
Yes. You may order and purchase it from Ducati Manchester Store. The Parts Catalogues are only available on microfiches, and you will need a viewer to consult them. Or you may easily obtain an adequately magnified paper printout.

You may obtain pricing information on original spare parts from any Ducati Store or official Dealer.

25. Is a warranty period extension available after due payment?   TOP
No.

26. What is the average engine oil consumption of my Ducati?  
Models from recent Model Years will use 0.2÷0.4 engine oil per 1000 Km on average. 900M and 900SS models manufactured up to 1997 will use 0.3÷0.5. Obviously, average consumption is calculated assuming normal usage and full compliance with the recommended preventive maintenance schedule.

27. Are original spare parts covered by warranty?  
Yes. Ducati SpA warrants all original Ducati spare parts for twelve months after installation, provided that the parts have been installed by an authorized Dealer.

28. How can I determine whether my Ducati has received proper servicing/repair under all recall and update campaigns?  
You may obtain this information from the Service Manager of our subsidiary or distributor in your country.

29. I am not happy with the repair job done by the authorized Dealer I contacted. What can I do to solve the problems with my bike?  
Please contact the Service Manager of our subsidiary or distributor in your country.

30. I own a Monster 600 and received a letter from Ducati about a recall campaign that includes my motorcycle. What should I do?   TOP
Please contact the Ducati Store or local official Dealer nearest you.

31. What are the maintenance periods applicable to my Ducati?  
A maintenance chart giving details of the preventive maintenance schedule is included in the Warranty/Pre-delivery Booklet (same for all models), in each Owner's Manual and in the Workshop Manuals.


32. What's the difference between safety, function-related and brand image recall campaigns?  
Basically, recall campaigns are corrective actions taken by the manufacturer to correct any failures, malfunctioning or defects on units sold, i.e. already in the field. A safety recall campaign aims to remove technical problems that may affect rider safety. A function-related recall campaign originates from technical problems that may inhibit motorcycle operation, however without affecting rider and passenger safety. A brand-image recall campaign relates to technical problems that do not affect either motorcycle operation or safety.

33. When I need to change the tires, should I use the same brand?  
Normally, brands other than the original equipment are allowed as long as the tires are the same size as those mentioned in the log book. In some countries (Germany, for example), local legislation only allows use of the tires specified in the registration paper.

34. How can I get the Owner's manuals for discontinued models?  
Please send a written request to this address:

Customer Service Ducati Motor Spa Via C. Ducati, 3 40132 Bologna, Italy

You will receive a photocopy of the requested manual at your address free of charge.

35. How would you recommend I prepare my motorcycle for "winter storage"?   TOP
We recommend cleaning the motorcycle, disconnecting battery cables, draining all fuel from the tank, pouring just enough engine oil into the spark plugs threaded holes to spread a thin layer of oil on the cylinder inner walls. The motorcycle should be parked with the wheels off the ground and covered with the suitable canvas that will let condensation escape. While the motorcycle is left unused, battery charge should be ensured at regular intervals.

36. I am the new owner of this motorcycle and would like to know how to send in my change of title notification.  
Please send the "First change of title" slip included in the Warranty Booklet duly filled in to the Customer Service fax number:
(++39)-051- 6413268

37. Does Ducati offer a road service?  
Yes. The owners of motorcycles registered in Italy from 1998 onward have free access to Ducati Card road assistance for the duration of the warranty period.
The toll-free number for Italy is 800271067 and operates 24 hours a day all year round.
