Tyres Repairing or renewing tyres With minor punctures, tubeless tyres take a long time to deflate, as they tend to hold the air inside. If you find that one of the tyres is slightly deflated, check the tyre for slow punctures. E Front tyre pressure: 2.2 bar. Rear tyre pressure: 2.4 bar. As tyre pressures are affected by changes in temperature and altitude, check and adjust them whenever you are riding in areas where there are large variations in temperature or altitude. Warning Punctured tyres must be renewed. Replace with tyres of the original brand and type. Be sure to tighten the valve dust caps securely to prevent leaks while riding. Never fit tyres with inner tubes, as these can cause the tyre to burst suddenly, with possibly serious consequences for the rider and passenger. After changing the tyre, the wheel must be balanced. Important Check and adjust the pressures with the tyres cold. To prevent distortion of the front wheel rim, increase tyre pressure by 0.2 to 0.3 bar when riding on bumpy roads. Important Do not remove or alter the position of the wheel balancing weights. Notes If tyres need changing, contact a Ducati Dealer or authorized Service Centre to make sure wheels are removed and refitted correctly. 94
