Cleaning or renewing the spark plugs
(fig. 79)
Spark plugs are an important part of the engine and should
be checked at regular intervals.
Spark plug condition provides a good measure of engine
condition.
Have the spark plugs inspected or renewed at a Ducati Dealer
or Authorized Service Centre. Firstly, they will check the colour
of the ceramic insulator of the central electrode: an even
brown colour is a sign that the engine is in good running order.
Secondly, they will check the central electrode for wear and
measure electrode gap. The electrode gap should be 0.7 to
0.8 mm.
Important
A gap outside the specified limits will adversely affect
engine performance and may lead to difficult starting or
erratic idling.
