To replace the tank, perform the above operations in the reverse order. fig. 34 2 Warning When lowering the fuel tank, take care to position the hoses correctly so they are not pinched or crushed. 3 fig. 35 43 Changing the air filter The air filter must be renewed at the intervals indicated in the periodic maintenance table shown in the Warranty Booklet.

Remove the old filter cartridge (3, fig. 37) and fit a new one. 2 E Important A dirty filter reduces the amount of intake air, which increases fuel consumption, reduces engine power and causes deposits to form on the spark plugs. Do not use the motorcycle without a filter; as impurities in the air could get into the engine and cause damage. Reinstall the filter correctly in its housing in the airbox, as shown in the figure, and refit all the parts originally removed. 1 fig. 36 3 Important If using the machine on wet or dusty roads, the air filter cartridges should be renewed more frequently than the intervals in the periodic maintenance table in the Warranty Booklet. fig. 37 44 Checking the brake and clutch fluid level (fig. 38) The levels should not fall below the MIN marks on the respective reservoirs. If the level is too low it can allow air to get into the circuit, thus impairing the efficiency of the relative system. The brake and clutch fluid must be topped up and changed at the intervals specified in the periodic maintenance table (see Warranty Booklet) by a Ducati Dealer or Authorized Service Centre. E Important It is recommended that all brake and clutch hoses be renewed every four years.
