Riding Mode
The rider can choose from three different preset bike configurations (Riding Modes) and pick the one that
best suits his/her riding style or ground conditions. The Riding Modes allow the user to instantly change the
engine power delivery (ENGINE), the ABS settings, the DTC settings.
Available Riding Modes: Sport, Touring and Urban.
Within every Riding Mode, the rider can customise any settings.
Carbon monoxide
When a maintenance operation must be performed with the engine running, make sure that the working
area is well-ventilated. Never run the engine indoors.
Warning
Exhaust gases 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 gas 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
Fuel 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; pay particular attention not to touch
exhaust system with any body part and do not park the motorcycle next to inflammable material (wood,
leaves etc.).
Warning
Prolonged or repeated contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer. If working with engine oil on a
daily basis, we recommend washing your hands thoroughly with soap immediately afterwards. Keep away
from children.
Brake dust
Never clean the brake assembly using compressed air or a dry brush.
Warning
Inhalation of asbestos fibres is a proven cause of respiratory illness and cancer.
Brake fluid
Warning
Spilling brake fluid onto plastic, rubber or painted parts of the motorcycle may cause damages. Protect
these parts with a clean shop cloth before proceeding to service the system. Keep away from children.
Coolant
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
13 Ducati Manuals Resource
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 irritant
and 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.
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.

Regulator (1) is located inside the wiring support (2) under the electrical components compartment.
The generator used on the Monster 821 has a rated power of 490 W at 14 V and consists of a fixed element
(stator/generator), located in the generator cover and a mobile element (rotor/flywheel) fastened to the
crankshaft.
The rectifier/regulator consists of an aluminium casing containing the diodes that rectify the current
produced by the generator. It also contains an electronic device that regulates the current supplied by the
generator in accordance with battery voltage.
If the battery is drained, the current has the value necessary to restore optimum operating conditions of
the battery itself.
While, if the battery is fully charged, the current value will be lower.
Important
Check the charging current by using the "DDS" diagnosis instrument.
Important
Do not disconnect the battery cables when engine is running because this would cause irreparable damage
to the regulator.
REGULATOR FUSE
The regulator fuse (3) of 30 A is located inside solenoid starter (A), in the battery compartment and
protects the electronic regulator.
Warning
Never use a fuse with a rating other than the specified value. Failure to observe this rule may damage the
electric system or even cause fire.
The generator used on the Monster 821 has a rated power of 490 W at 14 V and consists of a fixed element
(stator/generator, A), located in the generator cover and a mobile element (rotor/flywheel, B) fastened to
the crankshaft.
Rotor (B) is manufactured with strong permanent magnets and features a lot of pin pairs for each stator
phase. This allows generating alternate voltage at a higher frequency compared to a standard generator.
The result: at low rpm it is possible to generate higher current.
Important
Check the charging current by using the "DDS" diagnosis instrument.
To check the generator, measure the voltage at each end of the generator cable and check if it is compliant
with the value indicated in the table (ambient temperature: 20 °C).
Attention
Before testing, disconnect the generator wiring from the electrical system when the ignition key is set to
OFF.
Rpm Active voltage Minimum voltage Maximum voltage
1500 rpm 29.8 V 18.9 V 24.5 V
2500 rpm 34.3 V 31.4 V 40.4 V
Values significantly lower than those indicated above can be due to:
- partially demagnetised rotor;
- short-circuited windings.
In the above cases the whole generator assembly (rotor and stator) should be replaced.
If checks have a favourable outcome, reconnect the generator to the regulator with ignition key on OFF.
Make sure that no cables are damaged or disconnected.
Warning
Before carrying out any operations on the battery, keep in mind the safety standards. When under charge,
batteries produce explosive gases. Keep batteries away from heat sources, sparks or open flames.
Important
Never try to open the battery as it is sealed, it does not require maintenance operations or to be filled in
with acid or other types of liquids. Consequently, it does not need any operation upon its installation on the
vehicle.
Note
Always keep the battery clean. Apply grease around the battery terminals to prevent corrosion.
Warning
Never remove the valve cover located on top of the cover. If the block, cover or terminals are broken or if
the valve cover has been tampered with, IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY TO REPLACE THE BATTERY.
Important
If the motorcycle is left unused for more than 30 days, remove the battery and store it in a safe, cool
place.
Warning
The battery gives off explosive gases; never cause sparks or allow naked flames and cigarettes near the
battery. Check that during the battery charge, the area ventilation is adequate and that the ambient
temperature is lower than 40 °C (104 °F). Do not try to open the battery: it does not require to be filled
with acid or other types of fluids.
Always charge the battery before the first operation and after long storage periods – such as before selling
the vehicle.
Loosen screw (1) and remove cover (2) by sliding it out of tabs (A).
Loosen the screws (3) and remove the cover (4).
Undo the screw (5) and disconnect the ground cables (6).
Warning
Insulate the ground cable ends you just removed to prevent them from touching the motorcycle.
Loosen the screws (12) securing battery mount cover (13) to electric components support.
Fit the battery negative cable (16) on battery negative pole and fasten it by tightening screw to 10 Nm ±
10%.
Warning
Before carrying out any operations on the battery, keep in mind the safety standards (General safety rules).
The electrolyte in the battery is toxic and can cause burns if it comes into contact with the skin because it
contains sulphuric acid. Wear protective clothing, a face-mask and goggles when adding electrolyte. If the
fluid comes into contact with the skin, wash thoroughly with fresh water. If it comes into contact with the
eyes, wash thoroughly with water for 15 minutes and consult an ophthalmologist. In the event of accidental
ingestion, drink large quantities of water or milk, and continue with milk of magnesia, a beaten egg or
vegetable oil. Do not allow sparks, flames, cigarettes or any other heat source to get near the battery, as it
produces explosive gases. When recharging or using the battery indoors, make sure that the room is
adequately ventilated. Do not inhale the gases produced during recharging. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF
CHILDREN.
Place the battery on a flat surface. Remove the protective film (1).
Warning
Make sure that the electrolyte is of the specific type for your battery.
Remove the container with the electrolyte from the plastic bag.
Remove the cap strip (3) from the container (2).
Warning
Do not peel or perforate the sealed areas.
Place the electrolyte container (2) upside down. Align the six sealed elements with the six filler holes on the
battery. Push the container (2) downwards with sufficient force to break the seals and allow the fluid to
flow out.
Make sure that air bubbles emerge from all six filler holes. Leave the container in this position for at least
twenty minutes.
If no bubbles emerge from one of the holes, tap gently on the bottom of the respective container.
Important
Never move the container away from the battery. Do not cut or puncture the container.
Make sure that all the electrolyte has flowed out. Carefully extract the container (2) from the battery.
Fit the cap strip (3) previously removed from the electrolyte container (2) to the battery, and ensure the
caps plug off all filler holes.
Note
When using an automatic battery charger, ensure that the charger current (ampere) is equal to or higher
than the value of the standard charging system (STD) indicated on the battery itself.
Press firmly downwards with both hands until the caps are firmly in place (do not use a hammer).
Refer to the label on the battery showing the inspection 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.
Warning
Pay careful attention to recharging times. Stop charging immediately if the battery becomes too hot to the
touch. Leave to cool before resuming charging.
Type of charging Volt Ampere (A) Time (Hours)
Normal 12 1.2 5-10
Electric features:
12 V / 0.7 kW
The starter motor is highly compact and reliable, therefore rarely raises any operating issue.
In case of faults:
- ensure that the starter motor wiring terminal is properly tightened under the nut and shows no sign of
oxidation;
- if the terminal is properly tightened and free from oxidation, remove the starter motor and test it under
no-load conditions (no load applied to the shaft).
Warning
Secure the starter motor to a test bench, making sure not to damage the casing.
Warning
Use a fully charged 12 V battery for the test.
- Use battery-motor connection cables which are no longer than 70 cm and with the same cross-section as
the cable on the vehicle 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 a high speed.
Warning
Take care not to short-circuit the two cables connected to the battery.
The electric starting system consists of a solenoid starter (1) and a starter motor (2).
Position the vehicle with tyres inflated at the indicated pressure (“Front wheel" and "Rear wheel”) and a
person seating on the seat, perfectly perpendicular to his/her longitudinal axis.
Position the vehicle 10 metres from a wall or a screen.
On the wall or surface, draw a horizontal line at the same height from the ground as the centre of the
headlight and a vertical line aligned with the longitudinal axis of the motorcycle.
Note
If possible, perform this check in dim light.
Switch on the low beam. The height of the upper limit between the dark area and the lit area must not be
more than 9/10 of the height from the ground of the headlight centre.
Note
This is the procedure specified by Italian regulations for checking the maximum height of the light beam.
Please adapt said procedure to the provisions in force in your own country.
The vertical alignment of the headlight can be manually set by means of screw (1).
Turn clockwise to raise the beam, counter clockwise to lower it.
The instrument panel calculates and displays the motorcycle instantaneous fuel consumption, the set unit of
measurement and CONS. text.
The calculation is made considering the quantity of fuel used and the distance travelled during the last
second.
Value is expressed in the set unit of measurement: litres / 100 km or mpg UK or mpg USA.
The active calculation phase only occurs when the engine is running and the motorcycle is moving
(moments when the motorcycle is not moving when speed is equal to 0 and/or when the engine is OFF are
not considered).
When the calculation is not made, a string of three dashes is displayed " - - . - " steadily as instantaneous
fuel consumption.
Note
It is possible to change the units of measurement for "Consumption" (both average and instantaneous
together) from L/100 to km/L through the Setting MENU, using the "SET UNITS" function.
The VIN code is an alphanumerical code with 17 characters that clearly identifies a vehicle (family, model,
country, serial number, …).
This code can be stored in the instrument panel and read through the DDS 2 with suitable KWP2000 inputs.
When replacing one of the above control units, this information must be copied onto the new control unit
using DDS 2.
The DDS 2 diagnosis instrument allows performing a series of activations to check some instrument panel
functions and resetting parameters or warning lights.
After each activation, the instrument panel will restore its standard functions.
Note
The activations must be performed only with key turned to ON, engine off and battery voltage (higher than
or equal to) ≥ 11.0 V.
ODOMETER VALUE
Odometer reading (mileage covered) stored in the instrument panel and BBS control units.
Should one of the two control units be replaced, the odometer information will have to be "copied" using
the DDS 2.0 diagnosis instrument.
If the two odometer values stored in the Instrument Panel and BBS control units differ by more than 10 km
from one another, dashes " - - - - " will be displayed on the Instrument Panel.
If necessary, the instrument panel software can be updated through the DDS 2, which uses a suitable and
dedicated communication protocol KWP2000.
At Key-ON, the high beam and low beam lights are OFF, only the parking lights are turned on.
Once the engine is started, the low beam is turned on;
with engine running the standard operation of the lights is restored: it is possible to switch on and OFF the
high beam using button (1) in position (A), or flash using button (1) in position (B).
If the engine is not started after Key-ON, it is still possible to turn on the low/high beam by pressing button
(1) in position (A) on the left switch:
- the low beam lights are turned on the "first time" it is pressed;
- continue to press the button to switch from low to high beam.
If engine is not started within 60 seconds since the button was first pressed, the low and high beam lights
are turned OFF.
If the low beam or high beam was turned on before starting the engine (with the procedure described
above), the headlight turns off automatically when starting the engine and will turn ON again when the
engine has been completely started to save the battery charge.
TURN INDICATORS
Turn indicators are automatically controlled by the instrument panel.
After activating one of the two turn indicators, user can disable them using button (3) on the left switch.
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 indicator was activated.
The counter for the distance travelled for automatic deactivation is only 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 will be interrupted and will restart when the speed returns
below the indicated threshold.

Note
The TRIP FUEL function always has top priority over the LAP function: in case of activation of the TRIP FUEL
function with active LAP function, the LAP timer view is automatically removed and TRIP FUEL information is
displayed instead.
LAP recording
With the LAP function "active", it is possible to record the Lap time.
To record the lap time it is necessary to activate the LAP TIME function through the Setting Menu in the LAP
page.
After activating this function, it is possible to record the lap time as follows:
- the first time the rider presses button (3), the "timer" of the first lap starts and "START LAP" will be
displayed flashing for 4 seconds in MENU 1: then the previous function will be displayed automatically;
- from this moment, whenever button (3) is pressed, the instrument panel will show automatically the lap
time in MENU 1 for 10 seconds and the LAP "number" instead of the "Engine coolant temperature"
indication: after 10 seconds it will display the previous function.
30 laps max. can be recorded.
If the instrument panel "memory" is full, whenever button (3) is pressed, the instrument panel does not
record any lap time and "FULL -- LAP" will be displayed flashing for 4 seconds until lap times are reset. This
indication will be displayed until all times are reset with the LAP erase function in the Setting Menu
(ERASE).
When the LAP function is set disabled, the current lap is not stored. If the LAP function is enabled and
303 Ducati Manuals Resource
vehicle is suddenly stopped (Key-Off), function will be automatically disabled and the current lap time is not
recorded, (even if timer was active).
If the time is never "stopped", it will roll over upon reaching 9 minutes, 59 seconds and 99 hundredths; the
lap timer starts counting 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 recorded laps) the Instrument Panel records any left lap until memory is full (for
instance: 12 further laps can be recorded).
In this function only the lap times being recorded are displayed; other data are anyway recorded (MAX
speed, MAX rpm and limiter if reached), which can be later displayed with the "Stored LAPs displaying"
function (LAP REC) in the Setting Menu.

When the motorcycle is stopped, the engine heat could influence the displayed temperature.
The instrument panel calculates and displays the motorcycle average fuel consumption, the set unit of
measurement and CONS. AVG.
The calculation is made considering the quantity of fuel used and the distance travelled since TRIP A was
last reset.
When TRIP A is reset, the value is reset and the first value available is displayed 10 seconds after the reset.
During the first 10 seconds, when the value is not yet available, the display will show a string of three
dashes "- - . - " steadily as average fuel consumption.
Value is expressed in the set unit of measurement (litres / 100 km or mpg UK or mpg USA).
The active calculation phase occurs when the engine is running and the motorcycle is stopped: (moments
when the motorcycle is not moving and the engine is OFF are not considered).
Note
It is possible to change the units of measurement for "Consumption" (both average and instantaneous
together) from L/100 to km/L through the Setting MENU, using the "SET UNITS" function.
- hh (hours) : mm (minutes);
- with the message AM (for values ranging between 0:00 and 11:59), or PM (for values ranging between
12:00 and 12:59 and between 1:00 and 11:59).
In case of power supply interruption (faulty battery), the clock is reset and starts automatically from "0:00".
The instrument panel calculates and displays the trip time as hhh:mm followed by TRIP TIME.
The calculation considers the time since TRIP A was last reset.
When TRIP A is reset, this value is reset as well.
The time count active phase occurs when the engine is running and the motorcycle is stopped (the time is
automatically stopped when the motorcycle is not moving and the engine is OFF and restarts when the
counting active phase starts again).
When the reading exceeds 511:00 (511 hours and 00 minutes), the meter is reset and automatically starts
counting from 0 again.
The fuel trip meter counts and displays the distance covered by the motorcycle on reserve (since the low
fuel light turns on) with the set unit of measurement (km or mi).
When the Low Fuel Light turns on, the display automatically shows the TRIP FUEL function, regardless of
the currently displayed function; then, it is possible to toggle through the other Menu 1 functions.
Trip fuel reading remains stored even after Key-Off until the motorcycle is refuelled. Count is interrupted
automatically as soon as fuel is topped up to above minimum level.
When the reading exceeds the maximum value of 9999.9 km or 9999.9 mi, distance travelled is reset and
the meter automatically starts counting from 0 again.
The trip meter counts and displays the partial distance covered by the motorcycle with the set unit of

new units of measurement.
The odometer counts and displays the total distance covered by the motorcycle with the set unit of
measurement (km or mi). The odometer number (in km or miles) is displayed with the message TOT and
the indication of the unit of measurement.
When the maximum value is reached (199999 km or 199999 mi) the instrument panel will permanently
display said value.
The odometer value is saved permanently and cannot be reset under any circumstances.
The reading is not lost in case of a power OFF (Battery OFF).
Note
Upon Key-ON, the instrument panel always shows the Odometer indication for 10 seconds, then shows the
user's settings page.
ODOMETER UPDATE
This function allows copying the km value saved in the odometer when replacing the instrument panel or
the Black Box (BBS) control unit.
When replacing the instrument panel or the Black Box (BBS) control unit, it is necessary to copy the km
value to the new control unit using the DDS 2. Diagnosis Instrument.
Until this procedure is not performed, the instrument panel display will show some flashing dashes " -----“
instead of the "Odometer" value.
The procedure is successfully completed when the display shows the odometer value.

- If the DTC or the Black Box control unit feature an error, the message "DTC" and the rectangle with
the flashing symbol "- -".
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, not in
accordance with the road conditions, the laws of physics, good riding standards and the requirements of the
road traffic code.
The following table indicates the most suitable level of DTC intervention for the various riding modes as well
as the default settings in the "Riding Modes" that can be selected by the rider.

Warning
The 8 levels of the DTC system your motorcycle is equipped with were calibrated with original equipment
tyres (make, model and size). 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 make and/or model than the OE
ones, but with the same size (front 120/70ZR17 - rear 180/60ZR17), it may be sufficient to simply select
the suitable level setting from those available in order to restore optimal system operation.
If tyres of a different size class are used or if the tyre size differs 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 it is advisable to deactivate the traction control system.
If level 8 is selected, the DTC system will kick in at the slightest hint that the rear wheel is starting to spin.
The choice of the correct level mainly depends on the following parameters:
1 The tyre/asphalt grip (type of tyre, amount of tyre wear, the road/track surface, weather conditions,
etc.);
2 The characteristics of the path/circuit (bends all taken at similar speeds or at very different speeds):
3 The riding mode (whether the rider has a "smooth" or a "rough" style).
Level depends on 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).
Level depends on type of track: if the track/path features bends all taken at similar speeds, it will be easier
to find a level suitable for all bends; while a track/path with bends all requiring different speeds will require
a DTC level setting that is the best compromise for all bends.
Level depends on riding style: The DTC will tend to kick in more with a "smooth" riding style, where the
motorcycle is leaned over further, rather than with a "rough" style, where the motorcycle is straightened up
as quickly as possible when exiting a turn.
The motorcycle is equipped with ABS, the instrument panel indicates ABS status (on or off) by switching
off, on or flashing the ABS warning light.
The instrument panel displays:
- if the ABS is active, the message ABS with the set intervention level number (1 to 3);
- if the ABS is not active, the message "ABS" and the rectangle with the steady symbol "- - ";
- if the ABS is in error, the message "ABS" and the rectangle with the flashing symbol "- - ";
The EOBD light turns on and the warning symbol is displayed together with the relevant error.
If the instrument panel does not receive information, the ABS warning light turns on.
The following table indicates the most suitable level of ABS intervention for the various riding types as well
as the default settings in the "Riding Mode" that can be selected by the rider:

Warning
328 Ducati Manuals Resource
The levels of the ABS system your motorcycle is equipped with were calibrated with original equipment
tyres.
The use of tyres of different size and characteristics to the original tyres may alter the operating
characteristics of the system thus making it unsafe. It is recommended not to install tyres of different size
than the ones approved for your vehicle.
In the case of minor differences, such as for example, tyres of a different make and/or model than the OE
ones, but with the same size (front 120/70ZR17 - rear 180/60ZR17), it may be sufficient to simply select
the suitable level setting from those available in order to restore optimal system operation.
If tyres of a different size class are used or if the tyre size differs significantly from the original tyres, it may
be that the system operation is affected to the point where none of the 3 available level settings will give
satisfactory results.
In this case it is advisable to deactivate the traction control system.
Selecting level 3, the ABS will intervene to ensure a very stable braking, good lift-up control, the
motorcycle keeps a good alignment during the whole braking. Settings between level 3 and level 1 privilege
more and more the braking power rather than stability and lift-up control; level 1 provides no lift-up
control.
The choice of the correct level mainly depends on the following parameters:
1 The tyre/asphalt grip (type of tyre, amount of tyre wear, the road/track surface, weather conditions,
etc.).
2 The rider's experience and sensitivity: expert riders can tackle a lift-up in trying to reduce the stopping
distance to a minimum, while less expert riders are recommended to use settings 2 and 3, that will help
them keeping the motorcycle more stable even in emergency braking.
RIDING MODE
This function indicates the "Riding mode" set in the vehicle; each riding mode can be changed using the
"Setting Riding Mode" function.
It is possible to set three different riding modes: SPORT, TOURING and URBAN.
Every Riding Mode contains the following parameters, set by Ducati or customised by the user through the
setting function pages:
- a specific level of intervention for the DTC traction control (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, OFF);
- a specific engine power that will change the engine power;
- a specific ABS calibration (1, 2, 3, OFF).
Warning
Ducati recommends changing the Riding mode when the motorcycle is stopped. If the riding mode is
changed while riding, be very careful (it is recommended to change the Riding mode at a low speed).
Warning
It is not possible to open the menu for selecting the riding mode, if button (4) is in the position for
activating the turn indicators (to the left or right).
When system requests rider to confirm the riding mode change, the procedure will output an error if:
- the throttle twistgrip is open, brakes are activated and the motorcycle is not still; in this case "CLOSE
GAS" and "DON’T BRK" warnings flash on the display in MENU 1 and MENU 2, by alternating each writing
every second.
If within 5 seconds the throttle is not closed, the brakes are not released or the motorcycle is not stopped
(zero speed), the procedure for changing riding mode will not be completed and the Standard screen is
displayed.
Note
If the change of riding mode is associated with the ABS change of state from "ON" to "OFF" or vice-versa,

The Acceleration Position Sensor (APS) (1) or throttle twistgrip sensor, is a potentiometer that generates an
electric input sent to the control unit which receives information on:
- throttle twistgrip position;
- activation dynamics.
This input allows acting on the ride-by-wire system to obtain a better and smoother power supply, directly
"corrected" by the control unit.
To remove the APS, follow the instructions in chapter "Removing the throttle control”.
To check the APS correct operation, connect the DDS 2 diagnosis instrument to the control unit diagnostic
socket (A), located on the rear subframe, on the left side; remove the seat to reach it.
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 engine control unit.
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.
To check its correct operation, connect the DDS 2 diagnosis instrument to the control unit diagnostic socket
(A), located on the rear subframe, on the left side; remove the seat to reach it.
To remove and refit the speed sensors, refer to chapters "Replacing the front phonic wheel sensor" and
"Replacing the rear phonic wheel".
The ETV (1) is the motor that controls the throttle valve opening and closure and is located on the throttle
body. In case of failure it is not possible to replace only the ETV, but it is necessary to replace the complete
throttle body.
Once replaced, reset the TPS as described in chapter "Throttle position potentiometer”.
Electric diagram
To remove and refit the ETV, refer to chapters "Removing the airbox and throttle body" and "Refitting the airbox
and throttle body”. To check the ETV correct operation, connect the DDS 2 diagnosis instrument to the control
unit diagnostic socket (A), located on the rear subframe, on the left side; remove the seat to reach it.
The Black Box System (1) or central electronics (with integrated DTC system for traction control) is located
under the seat.
The BBS (1), like the instrument panel (DSB – Dashboard) is connected to sensors and actuators. The BBS
shares on the network all information sent by the sensors, processes it and controls the actuators
accordingly. Beside this, the BBS stores all malfunction errors recorded by the control units.
The BBS software features the DTC function to control the engine power and prevent the driving wheel
from slipping upon acceleration.
Electric diagram
REMOVAL PROCEDURE
To remove the BBS (1), remove the seat and disconnect connector (2). Slide out BBS (1) from the rear
side, from support (3) on the rear subframe.
CONTROLS
To check its correct operation, connect the DDS 2 diagnosis instrument to the control unit diagnostic socket
(A), located on the rear subframe, on the left side; remove the seat to reach it.
The Map sensor (Manifold Absolute Pressure) (1) measures the air pressure to calculate the exact quantity
of fuel to be injected.
The control unit processes the intake air pressure value and the external temperature value to calculate the
quantity of intake air in the cylinders and, based on the preset stoichiometric ratio, determines the correct
quantity of fuel to be delivered to the injectors.
The air/fuel ratio is therefore always excellent.
To check the MAP sensor (1) correct operation, connect the DDS 2 instrument to the control unit diagnostic
socket (A), located on the rear subframe, on the left side; remove the seat to reach it.
REMOVAL/REASSEMBLY
To remove and refit the MAP sensor (1), refer to chapters "Removing the airbox and throttle body" and "Refitting
the airbox and throttle body”.
The engine rpm sensor (1) is an inductive sensor that detects the teeth of a phonic wheel by means of an
alternate signal proportional to the teeth passage speed.
The toothed pulley usually features "Xn teeth with a gap of two teeth" as reference for the first cylinder
TDC.
Position 1: the pick-up sensor detects the "full area" (i.e. the tooth);
Position 2: the pick-up sensor detects the "empty area" (i.e. the gap between the teeth).
The engine rpm sensor (pick-up sensor) is located on the engine right side, under the RH side cover.
Electric diagram
The TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) (1) is a potentiometer installed on the throttle body, integrated in the
ETV.
The TPS sends information to the control unit about the exact position of the throttle.
In case of failure it is not possible to replace only the TPS, but it is necessary to replace the complete
throttle body.
The ETV (Electronic Throttle Valve) works on the throttle position.
To remove and refit the TPS, refer to chapters "Removing the airbox and throttle body" and "Refitting the airbox
and throttle body”.
To check the TPS correct operation, connect the DDS 2 diagnosis instrument to the control unit diagnostic
socket (A), located on the rear subframe, on the left side; remove the seat to reach it.
The lambda sensor detects the presence of unburned fuel in the exhaust gases, processes the information
sent to the control unit and allows keeping the mixture ratio (air kg/fuel kg) within the best efficiency range
for the catalytic converter.
The vehicle is provided with two lambda sensors, one per cylinder:
- lambda sensor (1) for horizontal cylinder exhaust;
- lambda sensor (2) for vertical cylinder exhaust.
The ECU control unit (1) controls both the injectors and the coils, thus controlling fuel injection and ignition
in accordance with the engine operating conditions detected by the following sensors:
- absolute pressure sensor (measures the barometric pressure);
- air temperature sensor (measures intake air temperature);
- engine temperature sensor (measures the coolant temperature);
- timing/rpm sensor (for engine rotation speed and the position of each cylinder relative to TDC);
- throttle position sensor (measures the throttle opening angle).
The ECU also monitors battery voltage so that it can adjust injector opening time and ignition coil charging
time accordingly.
Important
The maps, which include spark advance values, injection times, crankshaft angle for injector closing and all
correction curves as a function of temperature and atmospheric pressure values, are stored in the Flash
Eprom of the ECU. The above values are preset by the Manufacturer after testing the motorcycle under
different riding conditions. These settings cannot be changed.

ABS (Antilock Braking System) intervention can be customised and possibly disabled. To set and disable
ABS, refer to "Settings and displaying".
Warning
If the vehicle front wheel remains off the ground for a prolonged period while the vehicle is moving, the
speed difference detected between the two wheels causes an ABS fault (warning light activated) and makes
it impossible for the control unit to establish a reference speed.
The operation 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 operation 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 close to these components; the phonic wheels damage may compromise the operation of the
system and cause dangerous malfunctions.
ABS diagnosis
The diagnostic function of the ABS ascertains the functionality of the main system components via
hardware/software tests, but cannot modify the operating parameters of the ABS strategy.
From the model menus of the DDS2.0 diagnosis software, select MONSTER family, then model 821, and
then select bike model year and press Global Scan button.
Now connect tester to bike CAN diagnostic socket, to locate connector refer to the video displayed in screen
showing the diagnostic connector position on bike.
Wait for the correct configuration to be loaded and, when requested, switch the vehicle to key-on state.
Tester communicates to the different control units present on bike, ABS control unit included; wait for the
scan to be completed.
Among the displayed information a "dot" icon is shown: based on its colour, it refers to validated errors
inside the different control units.
In particular, if errors are stored, icon will be yellow or if errors are currently present, icon will be red, while
if no errors are present, icon will be green.
To make a deeper analysis of the ABS control unit, select ABS control unit and SELF-DIAGNOSIS or, as an
alternative, make a double selection on the same item with your mouse.
Once in this configuration, a number of parameters and states of the ABS control unit and information
concerning the control unit itself may be selected and displayed.
The INFO menu allows reading the software version loaded on the control unit as well as other information.
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 The system voltage value, measured across the terminals of the ABS unit, is displayed
value in Volts
Viewable states
Hydraulic pump Indicates if the electric motor of the hydraulic pump inside the ABS unit is functioning
motor state or not.
Valve relay state Displays the state of the main valve relay inside the ABS unit.
Rear inlet valve Displays the state of the normally open EV1 rear inlet valve (OFF if open, ON if
state closed).
Front inlet valve Displays the state of the normally open EV4 rear inlet valve (OFF if open, ON if closed)
state
456 Ducati Manuals Resource
Front outlet valve Displays the state of the normally closed AV4 rear outlet valve (OFF if closed, ON if
state open).
Switch status ABS Displays state of the analogue input of the ABS unit for the strategy switch off request
(1 state to Uz, 0 state to GND).
This tester function provides the user with information concerning the error list in the ABS control unit
memory, indicating if errors are stored or current. The following codes are given after a short description of
the diagnosis 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 found 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 re-establishing communication
between the diagnostic instrument and the ABS control unit before checking the updated ABS error list
again.

BARCODE

Software Version 6789
Barcode Data: HQOJM98200RA
The Ducati ABS brake system manages the front and rear brake systems separately. The operating
mechanism consists of a pulse generator (phonic wheel), with a ring of slots, fitted onto each wheel. There
are HALL sensors on LH fork leg bottom end and on rear brake calliper holder plate. With vehicle running,
they read the slots on the phonic wheel thereby detecting instant wheel speed. These sensors output data
to ABS ECU, which contains a software with a special control algorithm developed by Ducati. The software
compares the vehicle average speed with the instant wheel speed reading and assesses any slipping
condition. If control values are exceeded when the rider commands a certain pressure on brake calliper, the
control unit shall hydraulically control the braking system, which is nearly locked up. The system can
modulate pressure at the calliper through a set of solenoid valves which first prevent any further increase
of hydraulic pressure (1 valve closing), and then make the pressure decrease (2 valve opening). The 2
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 turn again in response to the diminished braking force applied
and its rotation speed reaches the reference value, the 2 release valve will be closed. Simultaneously, the
inlet valve 1 is reopened, restoring normal operation of the brake system. The ABS control unit can monitor
and modulate brake force in the three following different conditions: dry road surface (high grip), wet or
slippery road surface (poor grip) and uneven road surface. ABS functionality is disabled at vehicle speeds
lower than 5 km/h.
The hydraulic component of the ABS system consists of a primary circuit (from the cylinder to the control
unit and from the control unit to the calliper) and a secondary circuit (completely within the control unit).
