Arrange your luggage or heavy accessories in the lowest possible position and close to motorcycle centre. Be sure to secure the luggage to the supports provided on the motorcycle as firmly as possible. Improperly secured luggage may affect stability. Never fix bulky or heavy objects to the handlebar or to the front mud guard as this would affect stability and cause danger. Do not insert any objects you may need to carry into the gaps of the frame as these may foul moving parts. When fitting panniers (available from the Ducati spare parts service): arrange personal effects and accessories according to weight and distribute them evenly in both panniers; lock the panniers with the key provided. Make sure the tyres are inflated to the proper pressure indicated at page 79 and that they are in good condition. E 9
