Tubeless tyres Tyre pressure Front: 220 Kpa (2.2 bar - 32.3 psi) Rear: 240 Kpa (2.4 bar - 35.2 psi) As tyre pressure is affected by temperature and altitude variations, you are advised to check and adjust it whenever you are riding in areas where ample variations in temperature or altitude occur. Important Check and adjust tyre pressure when tyres are cold. To prevent distortion of the front wheel rim when riding on bumpy roads, increase tyre pressure by 0.2 - 0.3 bar. Tyre repair or replacement (Tubeless) In the event of a minor puncture, tubeless tyres will take a long time to deflate, as they tend to keep air inside. If you find low pressure on one tyre, check the tyre for punctures. Warning A tyre must be replaced when punctured. Replace tyres with recommended standard tyres only. Be sure to tighten the valve caps securely to avoid leaks when riding. Never use tube type tyres. Failure to follow these rules may cause a tyre to burst suddenly, with possibly serious consequences for the rider and passenger. After replacing a tyre, the wheel must be balanced. Important Do not remove or shift the wheel balancing weights. Notes If tyres need replacing, contact a Ducati Dealer or Authorized Workshop to make sure wheels are removed and refitted correctly. E 79
