Ducati SuperBike 1199 Panigale S Abs 2014 Owner's Manual

To properly break in the engine, ride the bike gently for the first 600 miles (1,000 km), avoiding full-throttle starts and aggressive acceleration. Keep the engine RPMs below 6,000 and vary your speed and RPMs to ensure even wear.
The recommended tire pressure for the 1199 Panigale S ABS is 36 psi (2.5 bar) for the front tire and 42 psi (2.9 bar) for the rear tire. Always check the tire pressure when the tires are cold.
It is recommended to change the oil every 7,500 miles (12,000 km) or once a year, whichever comes first. Always use the manufacturer-recommended oil type and replace the oil filter with each oil change.
Use a high-quality ethylene glycol-based coolant specifically designed for aluminum engines. Ensure it is mixed in a 50/50 ratio with distilled water to maintain optimal cooling and prevent corrosion.
Start by checking the battery connections for corrosion or looseness. Inspect fuses and replace any that are blown. If electrical components are not working, use a multimeter to test the wiring for continuity or shorts.
Clean the chain with a soft brush and a mild degreaser. After cleaning, apply a high-quality chain lubricant evenly along the entire length of the chain while spinning the rear wheel. Adjust the chain tension as per the owner's manual specifications.
The 1199 Panigale S ABS features electronic suspension adjustment. Refer to the user manual to access the settings menu through the digital display. Choose the appropriate riding mode or manually adjust preload, compression, and rebound settings to suit your riding style.
Overheating can be caused by low coolant levels, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a clogged radiator. Ensure regular maintenance checks to prevent these issues. Inspect the cooling system for leaks or damage if overheating occurs.
To replace the air filter, remove the fuel tank cover and locate the airbox beneath. Unscrew the airbox cover and replace the old filter with a new one, ensuring it's properly seated. Reassemble all components in reverse order.
Signs that the valve clearance may need checking include a ticking noise from the engine, poor idling, or reduced performance. It's recommended to check valve clearance as per the service intervals in the owner's manual, typically every 15,000 miles (24,000 km).
