General safety rules

Carbon monoxide
When a maintenance operation must be performed with the engine running, maker sure that the working area is well-ventilated.
Never run the engine in an enclosed space.

Warning
Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, which is a poisonous gas that can cause unconsciousness or even death if inhaled.

Run the engine outdoors or, if working indoors, use an exhaust fume extraction system.

Fuel
Always make sure the working area is well ventilated. Keep any sources of ignition, such as cigarettes, open flames or sparks,
well away from working area and fuel storage area.

Warning
Petrol is highly flammable and can explode under certain conditions. Keep away from children.

Hot parts

Warning
The engine and exhaust parts become hot when the motorcycle engine is running and will stay hot for some time after the engine
has been stopped. Wear heat-resistant gloves before handling these components or allow the engine and exhaust system to cool
down before proceeding.

Warning
The exhaust system might be hot even after engine is switched off; take special care not to touch the exhaust system with any
part of your body and do not park the motorcycle next to inflammable material (wood, leaves, etc.).

Used engine oil

Warning
Prolonged or repeated contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer. If working with engine oil on a daily basis, make it a
rule to wash your hands thoroughly with soap immediately afterwards. Keep away from children.

Brake pad dust


Never clean the brake assemblies using compressed air or a dry brush.

Warning
Inhalation of asbestos fibres is a proven cause of respiratory illness and cancer.

Brake fluid

Warning
Avoid spilling brake fluid onto plastic, rubber or painted parts of the motorcycle to avoid the risk of damage. Protect these parts
with a clean shop cloth before proceeding to service the motorcycle. Keep away from children.

1-3 General
Coolant level
Engine coolant contains ethylene glycol, which may ignite under particular conditions, producing invisible flames.
Although the flames from burning ethylene glycol are not visible, they are still capable of causing severe burns.

Warning
Take care not to spill engine coolant on the exhaust system or engine parts. These parts may be hot and ignite the coolant,
which will subsequently burn with invisible flames.
Coolant (ethylene glycol) is an irritant and is poisonous when ingested. Keep away from children.
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. The coolant is under pressure and will cause severe burns if it comes into
contact with the skin.

The cooling fan operates automatically: keep hands well clear and make sure your clothing does not snag on the fan.

Battery

Warning
The battery gives off explosive gases; never cause sparks or allow naked flames and cigarettes near the battery. When charging
the battery, ensure that the working area is properly ventilated.

General maintenance indications

Useful tips
Ducati recommends that you follow the instructions below in order to prevent problems and obtain the best end result:
- when diagnosing faults, primary consideration should always be given to what the customer reports about motorcycle operation
since this information can highlight anomalies; your questions to the customer concerning symptoms of the fault should be
aimed at clarifying the problem;
- diagnose the problem systematically and accurately before proceeding further. This manual provides the theoretical background
for troubleshooting; this basis must be combined with personal experience and attendance at periodic training courses held by
Ducati;
- repair work should be planned carefully in advance to prevent any unnecessary downtime, for example obtaining the required
spare parts or preparing the necessary tools, etc.;
- limit the number of operations needed to access the part to be repaired. Note that the disassembly procedures in this manual
describe the most efficient way to reach the part to be repaired.

General advice on repair work


- Always use top quality tools. When lifting the motorcycle, only use devices that comply fully with the relevant European direc-
tives.
- When working on the motorcycle, always keep the tools within reach, ideally in the order required, and never put them on the
motorcycle or in hard-to-reach or inaccessible places.
- The workplace must be kept clean and tidy at all times.
- Always replace gaskets, sealing rings and split pins with new parts.
- When loosening or tightening nuts or screws, always start with the largest or start from the centre; tighten nuts and screws to
the specified torque working in a crosswise sequence.
- Always mark any parts and positions which might easily be confused at the time of reassembly.
- Use exclusively Ducati original replacement parts and the recommended brands of lubricants.
- Use special service tools where specified.
- Ducati Technical Bulletins often contain updated versions of the service procedures described in this manual. Check the latest
Bulletins for details.

Front fork adjustment (MTS 1200 ABS)
The front fork used on this motorcycle has rebound, compression and spring preload adjustment.
The settings are adjusted by way of external adjuster screws:
1) rebound damping;
2) inner spring preload;
3) compression damping.

Park the motorcycle in a stable position on its side stand.


Turn the adjuster (1) on fork leg top with a flat screwdriver to adjust rebound damping.
Turn the adjuster (3) on the bottom of each fork leg with a flat-blade screwdriver to adjust the compression damping setting.
As you turn the adjusters (1) and (3), you will hear them click. Each click corresponds to different damping setting.
The stiffest damping setting is obtained with the adjuster turned fully clockwise to the “0” position. Start with this position and
turn anticlockwise. Count the clicks, which correspond to position 1, 2 and so forth.

Warning
The shock absorber is filled with high-pressure gas and can cause injuries if inexpertly dismantled.

Important
If the motorcycle is to be ridden with a pillion rider and luggage, we recommend setting the rear shock absorber spring preload
to the maximum to ensure the best handling and proper ground clearance at all times. It may also be necessary to adjust the
rebound damping accordingly.

Adjusting the rear ride set-up


Motorcycle track alignment as set at the factory is the result of tests carried out under different riding conditions by DUCATI test
riders. Modifying factory setting is a very delicate operation, which may lead to serious damages if carried out by unskilled people.
Since this motorcycle is often used in competitions, DUCATI saw it fit to equip it with special mechanisms to modify rear sus-
pension and steering head geometry to suit all kinds of track conditions.

The rider can set four different set-up configurations on the instrument panel:
- Single passenger;
- Single passenger with luggage;
- Two passengers;
- Two passengers with luggage.

For each of these settings, four riding modes (SPORT, TOURING, URBAN and ENDURO) can be selected and within each of
these, the initial settings for traction control (DTC), engine power and suspension dampening control can be modified.
For the setup variation follow what reported in the Sec. 7 - 7 “Riding Mode customisation”.

Routing of wiring on frame
The routing of the wiring has been optimised to ensure the minimum obstruction.
Each section is designed to prevent interference with parts that might damage wires or cause operating failures when riding.
The plates on the following pages show the origins (“0” points) for correct re-routing of wiring and the locations of cable ties.
Each figure includes references to the plates showing the wiring routing or the item to which it must be connected.

2 - Battery charging system
Checking the battery charging system
To check the current flow of the recharging circuit, use the “DDS” diagnosis instrument, which is equipped with an inductive
clamp-type amperemeter: refer to chapter “Checking the battery charging system”, Sec. D 5.
With the “DDS” diagnosis instrument you can determine the engine rpm required for the alternator to produce sufficient current
to charge the battery, feed the injection/ignition system and all the electrical equipment on the motorcycle. When applied to a
cable, the clamp-type amperemeter detects the magnetic field generated by the current passing through that cable.
The tester performs an automatic calibration routine using its own transducer. If the measured current is a positive quantity, it
means that generator is feeding all electric items and charging battery at the same time. A negative value means that charging
system is not powering the loads and a significant amount of current must be supplied by the battery, which is discharging at the
time of the measurement.
Or it is possible to use a multimeter (Sec. 6 -13, Diagnostic instruments). connect the multimeter probes to the battery terminals,
select the DC scale on the instrument and check for the presence of 14.5 V±0.5 at an engine speed of 3000 rpm.

Important
If polarity is reversed when clamping the ammeter onto the cable, the sign of the readings will also be reversed, giving rise to
incorrect diagnosis.

Multistrada 1200 ABS / Multistrada 1200 S ABS - M.Y. 2010 - edition DRAFT 63
section
6-2 Electric system and engine control system
Recharging the battery
Examine the label on the battery showing the check intervals in order to determine when to test the voltage.

Charge the battery if the open circuit voltage is lower than 12.8 V. Leaving the battery discharged for more than one month could
damage it. Check the battery charge with a voltmeter.
Always check the condition of the battery before recharging and 1 to 2 hours afterwards.

Important
Pay careful attention to recharging times. Stop charging immediately if the battery becomes too hot to the touch. Leave to cool
before resuming charging.

Use only constant-voltage battery chargers.


Check that battery terminals are properly connected to the battery charger.
To charge the battery, proceed as follows.

Type of charging Volt. Ampere (A) Time (Hours)


Normal 12 1.8 5-10
Fast 12 9 1

Use fast charging in emergencies only.

Storing the battery


If the battery voltage is less than or equal to 11.5 V, it must be recharged.
Connect the battery charger to the battery.
Use a voltage of 16-17 V.
If the ammeter shows no change, increase the voltage to the maximum of 25 V.
Charge for 5 minutes.
If the ammeter shows a change, return the voltage to 16-17 V; otherwise replace the battery.

The key components of the electric starting system are a solenoid (6) and a starter motor (5) fed by the battery (7).
The engine starting strategy is managed entirely by the engine ECU (34), which monitors the following inputs:
- Engine Stop switch on right-hand handlebar switch (1)
- Engine starter switch on right-hand handlebar switch (1)
- Neutral sensor (31)
- Sidestand sensor (29)
- Clutch microswitch (36).

When these inputs are combined in the required manner, the engine control unit (34) enables engine starting.

The table lists possible engine starting combinations.


In accordance with the status of specific engine control unit inputs and the indications given in the table, the control unit enables
operation of the starter motor (ON status) when the START button is pressed.

The starter motor is highly compact and reliable and therefore rarely gives any type of problem. In case of troubles, ensure that
the starter motor cable terminal is properly tightened under the nut and shows no oxidation. If the terminal is properly tightened
and free from corrosion, remove the starter motor and test it under no-load conditions (no load applied to the shaft). Secure the
starter motor to a test bench, making sure you do not damage the casing. Use a fully charged 12 V battery for the test. Use bat-
tery-motor connection cables which are no longer than 70 cm and with the same cross-section as the cable on the motorcycle
itself. Connect the negative terminal of the battery to an unpainted area of the starter motor casing and the positive terminal to
its electrical terminal. The shaft of the starter motor should rotate freely and at high speed. Take care not to short-circuit the two
cables connected to the battery.

Neutral indicator light
To check the neutral light switch (3) proceed as follows:

The neutral light does not illuminate on the instrument panel.


Remove the electric terminal connected to the neutral switch. Switch on the ignition switch (ignition key to ON position)
and ensure that the light illuminates when the terminal is earthed. If the light switches on, the neutral light switch should
be changed. If the light stays off, switch off the ignition (ignition key set to OFF) to switch off the instrument panel and
check for electrical continuity between the neutral switch and engine ECU with a multimeter.
The neutral light on the instrument panel is permanently illuminated.
Switch on the ignition (ignition key set to ON) and remove the electrical terminal from the neutral switch. If the light turns off,
the neutral switch should be changed. If the light stays off, switch off the ignition (ignition key set to OFF) and use a multimeter
to check whether the section of circuit between neutral switch and engine ECU is earthed.

Oil pressure sensor


To test the operation of the engine oil pressure sensor (4), proceed as follows:

Use the tester to check that oil pressure into the engine oil circuit complies with the specified values (Sec. 6 - 13, Check the
engine oil pressure).
If the engine oil pressure value is outside the specified range, check the oil circuit components and service as necessary.
If engine oil pressure value is within the specified range and the oil pressure warning light on the instrument panel stays off, switch
on the instrument panel (ignition key set to ON) without starting the engine, and disconnect the electrical terminal from the pres-
sure sensor and connect it to earth. If the warning light now illuminates, this means the sensor is defective and must be replaced.
If the warning light does not illuminate, use a multimeter and check for electrical continuity in the section of the circuit between
sensor and warning light on the instrument panel (this check must be performed with the ignition key set to OFF, i.e. with instru-
ment panel off).
If the engine oil pressure complies with the stated values and the engine oil pressure warning light on the instrument panel
is continuously illuminated, switch on the instrument panel (ignition key set to ON) and start the engine, then disconnect the elec-
trical terminal normally inserted on the pressure sensor. If the warning light now switches off, this means the sensor is defective.
If the warning light does not switch off, use a multimeter to check that the section of the circuit between sensor and warning light
on the instrument panel is not connected to earth (this check must be performed with the ignition key set to OFF, i.e. instrument
panel off).

Water temperature sensor
The coolant temperature sensor (6) sends an electrical signal to the ECU, which shares it with the instrument panel over the CAN
line. To check that the sensor (6) is functioning correctly, connect the DDS diagnosis instrument to the diagnostics socket of the
control unit and follow the instructions given in the paragraph “Guided diagnosis“ (Sec. 6 - 13). After making the correct selec-
tions from the menu, read the value of the coolant temperature from the parameters shown on the tester display. With the engine
completely cold, the air temperature (also read using the DDS diagnosis instrument) should be similar to that of the coolant. With
the engine hot and the cooler fan only just activated, the coolant temperature should be more or less equal to the fan activation
temperature. If these tests do not give a positive result, renew the coolant temperature sensor. If the DDS reads an error in the
control unit memory of the type “coolant temperature sensor short circuit or broken circuit“, check the circuit connecting the
sensor to the control unit. If this circuit is not faulty (not broken, not shorted and not grounded), replace the sensor.

“RANGE” indicator - remaining range
This function indicates the distance that can be travelled with the fuel currently in the tank.
The calculation is made based on the fuel level and an average consumption in reference to the last 90 seconds of driving (not
the average fuel consumption “CONS M.”).
If you refuel adding more than 4 litres of fuel with the vehicle switched off, at the subsequent Key-On, the remaining range read-
ing will be updated instantaneously and will be calculated based on the new fuel level and an average fuel consumption of
18.0 Km/L; otherwise (that is, if you add less than 4 litres) the reading will only be updated after the vehicle is in movement (not
instantaneously).
When the range arrives to “0” the indication will flash together with the symbol (motorcycle + fuel pump).

Warning
It is recommended to turn off the motorcycle (Key-Off) when refuelling; if adding fuel without turning off the motorcycle (Key-
On/engine off), the reading will be updated as soon as the vehicle starts to move (speed greater than zero).

Tips on how to select the sensitivity level

Warning
The 8 level settings of the DTC were calibrated using tyres of the same make, model and size as those originally fitted to the
motorcycle.
The use of tyres of different size to the original tyres may alter the operating characteristics of the system.
In the case of minor differences, such as for example, tyres of a different brand and/or model than the original, but with the same
dimensions (rear = 190/55-17; front = 120/70-17), it may be sufficient to simply select the most suitable level setting from those
available to restore optimal system operation.
If tyres of a different size class are used or if the tyre dimensions differ significantly from the original tyres, it may be that the
system operation is affected to the point where none of the 8 available level settings will give satisfactory results.
In this case is it is advisable to deactivate the traction control system.

If level 8 is selected, the DTC control unit will kick in at the slightest hint that the rear wheel is starting to spin.
Between level 8 and level 1 there are a further 6 intermediate levels. The level of DTC intervention decreases in equal steps from
level 8 to level 1.
When levels 1, 2 or 3 is selected the DTC control unit will allow the rear wheel to spin and also slide sideways on exiting a corner;
we recommend that this setting is only used by very experienced riders.

The choice of the correct level depends on 3 main variables:


1 The grip (type of tyre, amount of tyre wear, the road/track surface, weather conditions, etc.)
2 The characteristics of the track/road (curves taken at similar speeds or at very different speeds)
3 The Riding Mode (whether the rider has a “smooth” or an “aggressive” style)

The relation of the DTC intervention level to grip conditions:


The choice of level setting depends greatly on the grip conditions of the track/circuit (see below, tips for use on the track and on
the road).

The relation of the DTC intervention level to the circuit characteristics:


If all the corners on the track/circuit can be taken at a similar speed, it will be easier to find an intervention level that is satisfactory
for every bend; on the other hand, if the track has, for example, one corner that is much slower than all the others, it will necessary
to find a compromise level (on the slow corner the DTC will tend to control more than on the faster corners).

The relation of the DTC intervention level to Riding Mode:


The DTC will tend to kick in more with a “smooth” Riding Mode, where the bike is leaned over further, rather than with a “rough”
style, where the bike is straightened up as quickly as possible when exiting a turn.

Tips for use on the track


We recommend level 8 be used for a couple of full laps (to allow the tyres to warm up) in order to get used to the system. Then
try levels 7, 6, etc., in succession until you identify the DTC intervention level that suits you best (always try each level for at least
two laps to allow the tyres to warm up).
Once you have found a satisfactory setting for all the corners except one or two slow ones, where the system tends to kick in
and control too much, you can try to modify your Riding Mode slightly to a more “rough” approach to cornering i.e. straighten up
more rapidly on exiting the corner, instead of immediately trying a different level setting.

Tips for use on the road


Activate the DTC, select level 8 and ride the motorcycle in your usual style; if the level of DTC intervention seems excessive, try
reducing the setting to levels 7, 6, etc., until you find the level that suits you best.
If changes in the grip conditions and/or circuit characteristics and/or your Riding Mode, and the level setting is no longer suitable,
switch to the next level up or down and proceed as described above to determine the best setting (e.g. if with level 7 the DTC
intervention seems excessive, switch to level 6; alternatively, if on level 7 you cannot perceive any DTC intervention, switch to
level 8).

LAP registration function
This function describes the “LAP“ time registration.
If the function is activated (see “LAP activation/deactivation description”), the lap time can be registered as follows:
pressing the flash headlight button (4) the first time starts the “lap timer” for the first lap, and the instrument panel shows the
message “START LAP“ on the circular display for 4 seconds, and then returns to the previous display;
from now on, each time the flash headlight button is pressed (4), the circular display automatically shows the lap time for
10 seconds and then returns to the previous display.

You can save a maximum of 30 laps in the memory.


Once the memory is full, the instrument panel no longer stores lap times when the flash headlight button (4) is pressed, and the
flashing message LAP MEMORY FULL is shown on the circular display for 3 seconds until the times are reset.
When the LAP function is set disabled, the current “lap“ is not stored.
If the LAP function is active and suddenly the motorcycle is suddenly turned off (Key-Off), the function will be automatically dis-
abled (even if the lap timer was active, the current “lap“ is not stored).
If the time is never “stopped“, it will roll over upon reaching 9 minutes, 59 seconds and 99 hundredths; the lap timer starts count-
ing from 0 (zero) and will keep running until the function is disabled.
If however the LAP function is switched on and the memory has not been cleared, but fewer than 30 laps have been saved (e.g.
18 laps), the instrument panel will store any remaining laps until the memory is full (in this case, it will store an additional 12 laps).
This function only displays the times for the lap being registered; but other data are also saved (MAX speed, MAX rpm, rev limiter
if reached) for viewing at a later date in the Lap Memory function (stored LAP display).

DTC (Ducati Traction Control) on/off function

Warning
DTC is a rider aid that can be used both on the track and the road.
The system is designed to make riding easier and to enhance safety, but in no way relieves the rider of the obligation to drive
responsibly and to maintain a high standard of riding in order to avoid accidents, whether caused by his own errors or those of
other road users, through making emergency manoeuvres, in accordance with the prescriptions of the road traffic code.

The rider must always be aware that active safety systems have a preventive function. The active elements help the rider control
the motorcycle, making it as easy and safe to ride as possible. The presence of an active safety system should not encourage
the rider to ride at speeds beyond the reasonable limits, in accordance with the road conditions, the laws of physics, good riding
standards and the requirements of the road traffic code.

This function activates and deactivates the DTC (Ducati Traction Control).
To display the function, enter the “setting” menu page and access the “DTC” page.
In the next screen, press the reset button (3) with “ON / OFF” highlighted.
The information will be displayed as follows:
the arrows indicate the setting currently in use;
use buttons (1) “▲” and (2) “▼” to select the new setting;
to store the new setting press the reset button (3); the arrows will move to the new stored condition.

To exit, select “EXIT” and press the reset button (14, fig. 4).
Storing the “OFF” condition disables the Traction Control;
Storing the “ON” condition enables the Traction Control.

Note
Deactivating the DTC automatically activates the previously described “warning” “DTC OFF”. If a battery is cutoff, when the
voltage is restored and at the next Key-On, the DTC will always be set automatically to “OFF”.

Headlight control
This function allows you to reduce current consumption from the battery, by automatically managing headlight switching-off.
The “control“ is enabled in three instances:
when the system is turned on (Key-On) and the engine is not started within 60 seconds, the headlight is turned off automatically
and will be turned back on next time you start the engine.
after using the motorcycle normally with the lights on, if the engine is turned off using the “RUN” button on the right switch, the
headlight is shut off 60 seconds after the engine is turned off and then turned on again the next time the engine is started.
while starting up the vehicle, the headlight is turned off and back on as soon as the engine is started.

Turn signals (automatic reset)


The instrument panel controls the automatic reset of the turn signals.
Press the RESET button (3) to switch off the turn signals.
If the turn indicator is not “reset“ manually, the instrument panel will automatically switch it off after the motorcycle has travelled
500 m (0.3 miles) from when the turn signal was activated.
The counter for the distance travelled for automatic deactivation is activated at speeds below 80 Km/h (50 mph).
If the calculation of the distance for automatic deactivation is activated and then the motorcycle exceeds a speed of 80 km/h
(50 mph), the calculation is interrupted and will restart when the speed returns below the indicated threshold.

9 - immobilizer and transponder
The immobilizer allows the vehicle to be started only if the rider uses the special ignition key which sends the identification code
to a decoder housed in the instrument panel. The transmission-receiving system is composed of a TRANSPONDER housed in
the ignition key heads and an antenna in the vicinity of the ignition switch.

Keys with transponder


The two keys contain the secret code used for programming the immobilizer and allowing the engine to be started.
The transponder is fitted inside the key grip and consists of a power supply circuit, a ROM (Read-Only Memory) and a transmis-
sion circuit. The transponder is supplied with power by the magnetic field generated by the antenna which is enabled as soon as
the instrument panel is switched on. Since the transponder is very compact and needs no external battery power supply, it is
moulded permanently into the key grip.

Warning
The circuits in the key grips are not shockproof and may therefore be damaged by violent impact.

The key contains a battery that must be replaced when the message “low level“ is displayed under the key and battery symbols
when the instrument panel is turned on.

Note
In this case, replace the battery as soon as possible.

When the charge level goes below a certain limit, the key can only work in passive mode, like the passive key: in this case, the
instrument panel will not display any message.

Warning
Do not ride with the key (1) or (2) is inserted in the lock of the tank cap or in the seat lock as it could come out and represent a
potential danger. Furthermore, if bumped, the key mechanism and the integrated circuit could be damaged.
Also riding in poor weather conditions with the key inserted could cause damage to its integrated circuit.
Do not leave the key on the motorcycle when washing it as it could be damaged, not being watertight.

Injection and ignition
Ignition is via a single stick coil per cylinder installed in the spark plug well. Each thermal unit is supplied by a single injector, placed
under the throttle valve. The amount of fuel injected and the ignition advances are determined by the control unit specifically for
each cylinder. These basic measures are then corrected by the control unit, according to the information supplied by different
sensors fitted on the engine and applying certain strategies, in order to obtain the definitive signals of activation. It is necessary
to highlight that between these corrections there are those supplied by the DTC (Ducati Traction Control integrated in the BBS)
on the ignition advances, on the fuel injection and on the throttle valve opening, in order to correctly check the vehicle traction.
The DTC communicates with the engine control unit, through the CAN network.

Fuel injectors
The injectors (1) deliver the correct quantity of fuel required for optimal engine operation.

The ECU controls injector opening by feeding current to the coil of an electromagnet which creates a magnetic field to attract the
armature, thereby generating fuel spray. If we take the physical characteristics of the fuel to be constant (viscosity, density),
as well as the injector delivery and pressure head (controlled by the fuel pressure regulator), the amount of fuel injected
depends on the duration for which the injector is open.
This time is determined by the ECU in accordance with the engine operating conditions.
In this way correct fuel delivery in ensured.
To remove and refit the injectors, refer to Sec. 8 - 6, Removal of the fuel injectors.

Note
To check correct operation of the injector, use the DDS diagnosis instrument and follow the instructions given in the paragraph
“Guided diagnosis“, Sec. 6 - 13.

The fuel output must be even and the jet should be fully atomised, without droplets.
Do not leave the engine stopped for a long time with the fuel circuit full.
The fuel could clog the injectors and render them inoperable.
Periodically, after lengthy periods without running the engine, we recommend adding TUNAP 231 to the fuel in the tank to help
clean critical sections of the fuel circuit.

Note
Electric injectors are only supplied as part of the “Injectors and pipes” kit, and must not be replaced individually.

CAN Line
This model utilises a CAN line (Controller Area Network) which has made it possible to greatly simplify the layout of the electrical
system and consequently reduce its overall weight.
The CAN line is connected to two nodes:
the instrument panel and the ECU of the MITSUBISHI (F8TJ). Thanks to this communication line no sensor doubles are required
as sensor signals are shared by both electronic units.
Sensors are connected to closer electronic unit (instrument panel or engine control unit), which sends the signals to the network
to be processed by the control units.
CAN line consists of two wires for digital signal transfer; they both carry precise and perfectly decipherable data. The instrument
panel and the engine control unit, which are connected to the CAN line, are fitted with special hardware which acknowledges
whether a pulse sequence includes pertaining data to be processed by the computing unit.
The signals exchanged over the CAN line between the instrument panel and engine ECU are as follows:
- Motorcycle speed (input to engine ECU)
- Neutral selected (input to engine ECU)
- Engine oil pressure (input to engine ECU)
- Coolant temperature (input to engine ECU)
- Oil temperature (input to engine ECU)
- Starter motor actuation (starter button) (input to engine ECU)
- First level diagnostics generated by ECU
- Engine rotation speed (input to engine ECU)
- Scheduled service limit (light on instrument panel illuminates)
- Intake air temperature (input to instrument panel)
- Battery voltage
- Motorcycle model identification
- EOBD LED control

13 - Diagnostic instruments
Using a multimeter to check the electrical systems

Introduction
This instrument allows you to measure resistance, voltages, and current values. Multimeters can be divided into two basic types:
analogue and digital display multimeter. An analogue multimeter has a pointer display. The dial is marked with the scales to be
used for measurement of the various parameters. Digital units are equipped with a dial that displays numbers corresponding to
the values of the measured parameters. The type of measurement to be carried out (voltage, current or resistance) is set by means
of a selector or by means of several different sockets in which to insert the two test probe connector terminals. In certain cases
it is essential to set the full scale value before proceeding. For example, in order to measure a 12 V signal, you need to set a full
scale that is close to this value (e.g. 15 V or 20 V). It would be illogical to set a full scale value of 10 V; the same applies when
setting current (Amperes) or resistance (Ohms). Sometimes the instrument can set the required full scale value automatically.
Never exceed the maximum value allowed by the tester when measuring voltage or current signals.

Note
The DDS diagnosis instrument (Sec. 6 -13, DDS diagnosis instrument) can fulfil the function of digital multimeter.

Voltage measurement
Voltage measurements must be carried out by connecting the terminals of the tester in parallel to the load (e.g. to the wires feeding
a light bulb or a relay, the two battery terminals, or the two wires supplying power to a control unit). Voltages can be constant over
time (DC voltage) or variable over time (AC voltage). In the first case, it is important to consider the negative and positive polarity of
the application. It is therefore necessary to select on the multimeter the type of voltage you intend to measure. (DC voltage is
shown by the symbol = while AC voltage is denoted by ~).

Current measurement
Current measurements must be made by connecting the multimeter terminals in series with the load (e.g. disconnect one of the
wires feeding power to a light bulb and connect one terminal of the multimeter to the free end of wire and the other terminal
to the light bulb. When the lights switch is set to ON, the bulb will illuminate normally and the tester will show the absorbed
current, i.e. the amount of current passing through the wire. Warning: connections in series must be made and removed
only when the power is switched off. Never attempt to make or break a series connection when a device is powered.
Always make sure that the connection in series of the tester terminals on the electrical device is made is a safe manner in
such a way that it cannot be broken accidentally.

204 Multistrada 1200 ABS / Multistrada 1200 S ABS - M.Y. 2010 - edition DRAFT
section
6 - 13 Electric system and engine control system
Measurement of resistance values and electrical continuity
Resistance measurements must be taken only when the electrical device or section of the circuit is not powered and isolated
from the main electrical system (i.e. not connected to the main electrical system). These measurements can be utilised to check
the resistance value across several sensors. For example, after disconnecting the electrical wiring to the rpm/ignition-injection
system timing sensor (on the camshaft drive gear) the relative internal resistance can be checked by connecting a multimeter to
its terminals. This makes it possible to check the electrical continuity of the winding inside the sensor (a reading of infinite resist-
ance indicates that the winding is interrupted). Resistance measurement can also be used to check the continuity of sections of
the electrical circuit or relay type switches. For example, to check the condition of a section of the electrical circuit between two
connections, disconnect the connections and connect the terminals of the multimeter to the ends of the electrical cable in ques-
tion to check that the specified resistance value is present. If this value is close to zero (i.e. lower than approximately 0.3 ohm)
this means that the cable is not interrupted. Some instruments feature an audible signal that is emitted when the resistance ap-
proaches a value of zero. The same procedure must be adopted to check whether, for example, two contacts of a switch (relay
or manual type) are making the contact correctly when closed. In this case the terminals of the multimeter must be connected
to the switch terminals, checking that the resistance value is close to zero (or listening for the audible signal) when the switch is
closed. To check that the multimeter is functioning correctly in “electrical continuity test” mode, short out the two test probes.
The resistance value indicated must be almost nil and the audible signal must be activated.

Protections and precautions


The multimeter is equipped with protective fuses and batteries. These components must always be in perfect condition to ensure
that the instrument is functioning correctly. When making electrical measurements always use the maximum caution to avoid
short circuits, which can otherwise cause irreparable damage to the electrical system and constitute a personal injury hazard.
All maintenance work must be performed exclusively when the system is not live (disconnect the battery in advance).
NEVER connect the multimeter in parallel to make current measurements, and NEVER connect it in series to carry out
voltage measurements.

DDS diagnosis instrument
The main functions of the DDS diagnosis instrument can be summarised as follows:
- Retrieval of errors (faults) of the ignition-injection system stored in the engine control unit memory and their subsequent dele-
tion, if required.
- Reading of engine parameters (rpm, coolant and air temperature, atmospheric pressure, throttle opening, battery voltage, injec-
tion times and ignition advance, etc.).
- Active diagnostics. Activation of ignition-injection system transducers to test functionality and control signals (fuel pump, igni-
tion coils, rev counter, injectors, etc.). With this function it is also possible to enter the code to override the immobilizer.
- Road test. Allows the technician to store engine parameters recorded within a previously specified engine speed range interval.
The resulting parameters can then be analysed and displayed once they have been acquired.
- With specific sensors connected, the DDS diagnosis instrument can read electrical voltages, current, temperature, timing belt
tension, and pressure values (lubrication and fuel supply circuits for example).

The tension values are those detailed in Sec. 3 - 1.1, Timing system/valves and must be checked when the engine is cold: as-
sembly values must be applied with when installing a new belt, while service values must be applied when belt tension reaches
70 Hz.

Warning
The timing belts can become slack during normal operation. When checking belt tension, if the reading is less than 70 Hz, reten-
sion the belt to restore the specified nominal values (Sec. 3 - 1.1, Timing system/valves).

1100÷1300 min-1
greater than 0.8 bar.
3500÷4000 min-1
greater than 4 bar.

Important
The maximum pressure must never exceed 6.0 bar.

Excessively high pressure may indicate that the relief valve is stuck. Excessively low pressure, on the other hand, may be
caused by the relief valve being stuck in the open position, the relief valve spring being too weak, or a faulty oil pump.
Other causes are excessively worn seals and gaskets or a badly worn engine.

Remove the gauges and refit the pressure switch (19) with its seal. Block it to the specified torque (Sec. 3 - 3, Engine torque

Cylinder compression test

Note
The on-screen icons used during this procedure are explained in a table at the end of this section.

Engine performance is directly correlated to the pressure that can be measured in the combustion chambers of the two cylinders.
Pressure which is too high/low or an excessive difference between the two cylinders will cause a drop in engine performance
and can cause engine breakdowns.

If the measured current is a positive quantity, it means that generator is feeding all electric items and charging battery at the same
time. If the current has a negative sign, this means that the charging system is not able to power the electrical loads and a
significant amount of the current required must be supplied by the battery, which is therefore discharging.

5 - ABS system information
Operating principle
The Ducati ABS brake system manages the front and rear brakes separately. A pulse generator (phonic wheel), with a ring of
slots, is fixed onto each wheel. On the left calliper mounting bracket of the front fork and on the rear brake calliper holder plate
are HALL effect sensors which detect the full sections and voids on the phonic wheel as the vehicle moves, providing and in-
stantaneous wheel speed reading. These sensors transmit the data to the ABS control unit, which contains software implement-
ing a specific control algorithm developed by Ducati. The software compares the average speed of the vehicle against the
instantaneous wheel speed values to determine the degree of skidding. If the pressure applied to the calliper by the rider causes
the control limits to be exceeded, the control unit intervenes in the braking circuit relative to the wheel for which incipient lock-
up is detected. The ABS modulates the calliper pressure with a system of solenoid valves that initially prevents any further in-
crease in hydraulic pressure (EV valve closed), and then reduces pressure (AV valve opened). The AV valve is opened in a series
of pulses (with less than 10 milliseconds between successive pulses), to reduce pressure in steps. When the wheel begins to
rotate again in response to the diminished braking force applied and the wheel speed reaches the reference value, the AV release
valve is closed.
Simultaneously, the EV inlet valve is reopened, restoring normal operation of the brake system. The ABS control unit can monitor
and modulate brake force accordingly in the three following different conditions: dry road surface (high grip), wet or greasy road
surface (poor grip) and uneven road surface. ABS functionality is disabled at vehicle speeds lower than 5 km/h.
A diagram illustrating how the ABS system functions is given below.

The hydraulic component of the ABS system consists of a primary circuit (from the pump to the control unit and from the control
unit to the calliper) and a secondary circuit (completely within the control unit). The hydraulic layout of the ABS system is given
below.

ABS system operating information
The response of the system is based on the analysis of the speed signals for front and rear wheels; the system is automatically
deactivated if either of these signals is missing.

Note
In the event of the ABS control unit detecting a fault in the ABS electronic management system, it activates the specific fault
warning indicator on the instrument panel and restores conventional braking functionality without ABS.
Hydraulic faults in the brake system and faults not directly related to the ABS system (e.g.: worn brake pads) cannot be detected
by the ABS control unit.

Important
The response of the system is based on the values read for the front and rear wheel speeds; take great care not to damage the
phonic wheels and relative speed sensors when removing the wheels or when working in the vicinity of these components; dam-
age to the phonic wheels damages may compromise the operation of the system and cause dangerous malfunctions.

ABS diagnosis
The diagnostic function of the ABS 8M ascertains the functionality of the main system components via hardware/software tests,
but cannot modify the operating parameters of the ABS system. The DDS diagnostic instrument is connected by cable to the
ABS control unit communication link connector (A), located beneath the saddle. The connection cable between the tester and
the ABS control unit has another branch with a negative and a positive clamp that must be connected to the vehicle battery to
power the tester itself and enable communication with the ABS control unit.
From the AUTODIAGNOSIS menu of the DDS instrument, select the ABS system model and wait until the correct configuration
loads for analysing the configuration of the vehicle. After switching the vehicle to key-on state, the tester communicates with the
ABS control unit.
Once in this configuration, a number of parameters and states relative to the ABS control unit and information concerning the
control unit itself may be selected and displayed.
If the tester receives notification from the ABS control unit that there are diagnostic errors dating from a prior test session still
stored in its memory, the user is warned by specific message on the display and an audible alarm.
The ABS control unit identification number, identified by the prefix ID ECU, may be viewed from the INFO menu.

Select the function “View parameters and states”


This function allows the tester to display the following ABS system parameters and states:

Viewable parameters

Front wheel speed The speed value for the front wheel is displayed in Km/h.
Rear wheel speed The speed value for the rear wheel is displayed in Km/h.
System voltage value The system voltage value, measured across the terminals of the ABS unit, is displayed
in Volts

Viewable states

Hydraulic pump motor state Indicates if the electric motor of the hydraulic pump inside the ABS unit is functioning
or not.
Valve relay state Displays the state of the main valve relay inside the ABS unit.
Rear input valve state Displays the state of the normally open EV1 rear inlet valve (OFF if open, ON if closed).
Front input valve state Displays the state of the normally open EV4 rear inlet valve (OFF if open, ON if closed).
Front output valve state Displays the state of the normally closed AV4 rear outlet valve (OFF if closed, ON if
open).
ABS switch state Displays state of the analogue input of the ABS unit for the strategy switch off request
(1 state to Uz, 0 state to GND).

Select the function “View errors”
This tester function provided the user with information concerning the error list in the ABS control unit memory, indicating if er-
rors have been stored previously stored or if they are current. The following codes are given after a short description of the diag-
nosis type: MEM, indicating that the error has been stored previously by the ABS control unit but has not been detected in the
current test session. ATT, indicating that the error is current and has been detected during the current test session.

Note
While ATT indicates that the error has been diagnosed during the current test session, it does not necessarily indicate that the
error is actually active at the time of indication. For example: disconnecting the front wheel speed sensor causes the code ATT
to be displayed after the error description, but the code continues to be displayed even once the cause of its activation has been
eliminated by reconnecting the sensor, as the ABS will only check sensor operation again after the next key-off/key-on cycle. As
a result, always perform a key-on/key-off cycle after any work on the ABS system, interrupting and reopening communication
between the diagnostic instrument and the ABS control unit before checking the updated ABS error list again.

The abbreviations for all the errors displayed are given as follows:

ABS system deactivation


Carry out the procedure described in section Sec. 6 - 7, ABS disabling function.

Warning
If the vehicle front wheel remains off the ground for a prolonged period while the vehicle is in motion, the speed difference de-
tected between the two wheels causes an ABS fault (warning light activated) and makes it impossible for the control unit to es-
tablish a reference speed.

Adjusting of the AIR-GAP phonic wheel sensor
(For front as well as rear sensor) In each case of maintenance that foresees:
- replacement or refitting of the wheel
- replacement or refitting of the phonic wheel (1) or (2)
- replacement or refitting of the brake discs
- replacement or refitting of the speed sensor (3) or (4)
- (front) replacement or refitting of the sensor holder bracket
- (rear) replacement or refitting of the calliper holder bracket
it is necessary to check the air-gap between the speed sensor and the phonic wheel, once the components are refitted.
For this purpose, use a feeler gauge to check the air-gap; then, carry out 4 measures of the air-gap, one every 90° of wheel turn.

If the difference between the minimum and maximum values detected is higher than 0.40 mm, replace the phonic wheel.
Once checked that the difference is lower than or equal to 0.40 mm, carry out the shimming of the phonic wheel sensor (2) or
(5) by the appropriate calibrated thickness spacers (B).

Washing the chain
Chains with O-rings must be washed in oil, diesel fuel or paraffin (kerosene).
Do not use fuel, trichloroethylene or other solvents which will damage the rubber O-rings. For the same reason use only sprays
specifically formulated for use with O-ring chains.

Lubricating the chain


O-ring chains have sealed, life-lubed link studs and bushes. However, these chains need lubricating at regular intervals to protect
metal parts of the chain and the O-rings.
Lubrication also serves to keep the O-rings soft and pliable to ensure the maximum sealing efficiency.
Using a brush, apply a thin protective layer of high-density gearbox oil along the entire length of the chain both inside and outside
(Sec. 3 - 2, Fuel, lubricants and other fluids).

Overhaul of the cylinder barrel/piston components

Overhauling the cylinder


Check that the walls of the cylinder bore are perfectly smooth. Measure the cylinder bore diameter at 50 mm from the top
face and determine the size class to which it belongs in accordance with the values specified in Sec. C 1.1, Cylinder/Piston.
Repeat measurement of the diameter at three heights A (10 mm from the upper surface), B (50 mm from the upper surface) and
C (100 mm from the upper surface) and in two direction at 90° between them; check that the measurements of taper and ovality
in the bore fall within the range specified in Sec. C 1.1, Cylinder/Piston.
In the event of damage or excessive wear the barrel must be renewed as it has a silicon carbide coating (which provides the
cylinder walls with excellent anti-friction and anti-wear properties) and therefore cannot be rebored.
The cylinder barrels are marked with letters (stamped between two oil return ways) indicating their size class.
Always match cylinders with pistons from the same size class.

9 - 6.1 Engine
Description of the clutch assembly
The clutch is disengaged by a drive unit consisting of a thrust piston (C) accommodated inside a small cap mounted to the gen-
erator cover. This piston (C) pushes a pushrod (B), which runs through gearbox primary shaft and operates the pressure plate (4)
located on top of the clutch plate pack (9).
Drive is transmitted from the crankshaft to the gearbox primary shaft by a gear integrated with the clutch housing/primary drive
gear pair (A).
Accommodated in the clutch housing is a set of drive and driven plates (9). When the clutch is operated, the driven plates push
away a drum (12) which is splined onto the gearbox primary shaft.
Before working on the internal clutch parts, check that the clutch operates correctly. Then deal with the problem in a systematic
manner.

The following is a list of possible causes of clutch malfunctions.

A clutch which does not disengage may be caused by:


- excessive play of the control lever;
- distorted clutch plates;
- incorrect spring tension;
- faulty clutch release mechanism;
- excessive wear of the hub or clutch drum.

A clutch which slips may be caused by:


- insufficient play of the control lever;
- worn clutch plates;
- weakened springs;
- faulty clutch release mechanism;
- excessive wear of the hub or clutch drum.

A noisy clutch may be caused by:


- excessive backlash between the primary drive gears;
- damaged primary drive gear teeth;
- excessive play between friction plate tabs and the clutch drum;
- worn gear/clutch drum bearings;
- the presence of metal particles (filings) on the gear teeth.

Overhaul of the gearbox
Check the condition of the front coupling dogs of the gears. They must be in perfect condition and with no sign of wear on the
edges of the teeth.
The idler gears must rotate freely on their shafts.
When refitting, make sure the circlips are correctly positioned.
Check the needle roller bearings for wear.
The threads and splines of the shafts must be in perfect condition.
Also check that the component parts of the gear selector mechanism are in good condition.

Engage the gears and check that the gearchange mechanism does not stick (selector fork - gear groove, and fork pin - desmo-
dromic drum groove) due to incorrect end float. Restore the correct endfloat by shimming the gearbox shafts and the selector
drum with suitable shims.
For the total gearbox shaft and selector drum end clearance values, refer to Sec. C 1.1, Gearbox.

176 Multistrada 1200 ABS / Multistrada 1200 S ABS - M.Y. 2010 - edition DRAFT
section
9 - 7.2 Engine
Inspection of the gear selector forks
Visually inspect the gear selector forks. Bent forks must be renewed as they may lead to difficulties in gear changing or may
suddenly disengage when under load.
Use a feeler gauge to check the clearance of each fork in its gear groove.
If the service limit has been exceeded, check whether or not it is necessary to replace the gear or the fork by referring to the
limits specified for each part (Sec. C 1.1Gearbox).

Multistrada 1200 ABS / Multistrada 1200 S ABS - M.Y. 2010 - edition DRAFT 177
section
9 - 7.2 Engine
Inspection of the gear selector drum
Use a gauge to measure the clearance between fork pin and the slot on the selector drum.
If the service limit is exceeded, determine which part must be replaced by comparing these dimensions with those of new com-
ponents (Sec. C 1.1, Gearbox).
Also check the wear on the drum support pins; these must not show any signs of scoring, burrs, or deformation.
Turn the drum in the crankcase to establish the extent of radial play. If play is excessive, change whichever part is most worn.

Take particular care when installing the idler gears. The assembly of the 3rd and 4th speed gears and the relative fixing compo-
nents on the secondary shaft is given as an example.
Fit the circlip (7), checking that it is fully inserted into its groove on the shaft. Push the circlip into position with a suitable size
tubular drift.

Slide the washer with three internal points (6) over the shaft until it locates against the circlip you have just fitted.

To fit the needle roller cage (4) onto the shaft, first lubricate it with plenty of grease (of recommended type) and then open it
slightly to make it easier to slide on to the shaft.
Fit the 3rd speed gear (22).

Reassembly of the gearbox
To refit the gearbox components follow the procedure under Sec. N 9.2, Reassembly of the crankcase halves, relating to reas-
sembly of the engine crankcase.
As a final practical test, ensure that with the gearbox in neutral the front coupling dogs (A) of sliding gears (B) are equidistant on
both sides with respect to the corresponding coupling dogs on the fixed gears (C).
Check also that there is always a small amount of clearance between fork (D) and relative groove (E) on sliding gear (B) when
engaging the gears.

226 Multistrada 1200 ABS / Multistrada 1200 S ABS - M.Y. 2010 - edition DRAFT
section
9 - 9.2 Engine
Main bearings
The main bearings have are of the angular contact type with offset inner races so that the balls transmit loads from one groove
to the other along straight lines at an angle to the axis of the bearing. The angle-contact ball bearings are designed for bearing
combined loading (radial-axial loads).
Bearings of this type can bear thrust loads in one direction only. In fact, under the action of a radial load inside the bearing,
an axial force is created that must be counterbalanced by an axial force acting in the opposite direction; that is why these
bearings are generally fitted back to back in pairs.

Note
The main bearings supplied can be bearings with bushing (A) or flanged bearings (B) with the bushing integrated in the external
ring of the bearing.

To renew the bearings proceed as follows:


- heat the crankcase in an oven to 100 °C;
- remove the bearing using a drift and hammer;
- install the new bearing (while the crankcase is still hot) keeping it perfectly square in its seat using a tubular drift that only bears
on the outer ring of the bearing;
- allow the parts to cool and check that the bearing is securely seated in the crankcase half.

are interference-fit in the casing.

Check that the interference fit between the crankcase and the bearings (1) and (18) installed, is not less than 0.03 mm, otherwise,
replace the crankcase halves.

18

Important
After installing new main bearings, shim the crankshaft as described in the paragraph “Shimming the shafts” and “Reassembly
of the crankcase halves“ of this section.

Multistrada 1200 ABS / Multistrada 1200 S ABS - M.Y. 2010 - edition DRAFT 229

Overhauling the alternator-side crankcase half


The following parts must be present on the internal side of the crankcase half:
- gearbox secondary shaft bearing (23): apply grease to the bearing rollers. Fit the inner race (A) removed previously from the
bearing. Apply grease to the inner ring;
- the primary shaft bearing (28), secured with screws (20) and retaining spacer (21): apply prescribed threadlocker to the screws

Shimming the shafts
Before assembling the crankcase halves, calculate the shims required to obtain the correct endfloat of the crankshaft and gearbox
shafts.
To determine the correct shim thickness proceed as follows.

Shimming the crankshaft


After having installed the new main bearings (with bushing (A) or flanged bearings (B)) proceed as follows to determine the total
“SA” height of the shimming:
- measure the distance “LA” between the bearing contact surfaces on the crankshaft;
- measure the depths “LA1” and “LA2” corresponding to the distance between contact surface of the crankcase half and the
contact surface of the inner race of the bearings.

Add 0.30 mm preload for crankshaft axial bearings to bed in correctly into their seats (inner rings seated inside outer ring).
Thus, we obtain:
SA=LA1+LA2+0.30-LA.
To calculate the thickness of each shim note that:
SA=SA1+SA2
where “SA1” and “SA2” represent the shims for the clutch-side crankcase half 1 and the alternator-side crankcase half 2.
Considering the alignment of the shaft, this gives:
SA1=LA1+0.15-LA/2;
and finally, the second shim thickness: SA2=SA-SA1.

LA2

In addition to the above procedure, the following is a practical shimming method, providing a guide on how to calculate the crank-
shaft shim thicknesses accurately.
Install a shim of minimum thickness (1.90 mm) on each side of the crankshaft to prevent contact between the crankshaft web
and the crankcase.
Install the crankshaft and assemble the two crankcase halves.
Fit four M8 screws in the seats indicated in the figure and tighten them to the specified torque (Sec. 3 - 3, Engine torque settings).

Place a dial gauge (C) with magnetic base on a support plate fixed to crankcase.
Bring the stylus into contact with the end of the crankshaft and set the dial gauge to zero in this position.

Place a lever (D) between crankcase and crank web of the crankshaft pushing towards dial gauge.
Note on the dial gauge the total clearance and add a preload of (0.30 mm) plus the thickness of the shims used (1.90x2=3.8 mm).
Divide the resulting value by two to obtain the thickness of the shim packs to be installed at either end of the crankshaft.

Note
After assembling the crankcase halves, the crankshaft should turn with some interference in the new bearings.
