Hazardous Products - Warnings
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.).
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 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.
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.

Maintenance operations
3 -Maintenance operations
Checking the engine oil level
Check the engine oil level through the sight glass (1) on the right-hand side of the oil sump.
Stop the engine and allow a few minutes for the oil to settle to a steady level. Check the level with the motorcycle
perfectly vertical and with the engine warm (but not running).
The oil must be between the MIN and MAX marks. If the level is low, top it up. Remove the filler cap (2) and top up with
the recommended oil.
Refit the filler plug (2).
Note
Change the oil when the engine is warm (but with the engine stopped). In these conditions the oil is more fluid and will
drain more rapidly and completely.
Remove the drain plug (3) with gasket (A) from the oil sump and allow the oil to drain off.
Warning
Dispose of oil and/or filter cartridges in compliance with environmental protection regulations.
Remove any metallic deposits from the end of the magnetic drain plug. Refit the drain plug complete with seal (A) to the
sump.
Tighten the plug (3) to a torque of 42 Nm (Min. 38 Nm - Max. 46 Nm) (Sect. 3 - 3, Engine torque settings).
Remove the oil sump filter cartridge (4) using service tool 88713.2906.
Important
Dispose of the used cartridge, do not attempt to reutilise it.
Fit a new cartridge (4) using service tool 88713.2906: lubricate the gasket with engine oil.
Note
It is advisable to fill the filter cartridge (4) with engine oil before installing it: this enables the recommended oil level to be
maintained without topping up.

Maintenance operations
Install the cartridge in its housing and tighten it to a torque of 11 Nm (Min. 10 Nm - Max. 12 Nm) (Sect. 3 - 3, Engine
torque settings).
Every two oil changes, clean the oil pickup gauze filter.
Remove the outer plug (5).
Unscrew the filter (7) and withdraw it from the crankcase.
Clean the filter with petrol and compressed air. Take care not to damage the gauze.
Replace the mesh filter (7), fit the seal (6) to the plug (5) and tighten to a torque of 42 Nm (Min. 38 Nm - Max. 46 Nm)
(Sect. 3 - 3, Engine torque settings).
Remove the filler plug (2) and top-up with the specified oil type (Sect. 3 - 2, Fuel, lubricants and other fluids)
up to reaching the notch of MAX level on the sight glass.
Refit the filler cap (2). Run the engine at idle speed for a few minutes.
Check for oil leaks. Check that the oil pressure light on the instrument panel switches off a few seconds after the engine
starts. If not, switch off the engine and trace the fault.
After a few minutes, check that the oil level is the specified one; if necessary, restore the MAX level.
Refit all parts removed.

Note
If it proves difficult to change the brake pads, first remove the callipers from the motorcycle (Sect. 7 - 4, Removal of the
rear brake calliper).
Warning
Being the brake callipers a security component of the vehicle, follow instructions indicated in Sect. 7 - 3, Removal of the
front brake system and Sect. 7 - 4, Removal of the rear brake calliper, and pay attention, during the refitting, to the
tightening torque (Sect. 3 - 3, Frame torque settings) of the fixing screws of the callipers.
Major adjustments of the throttle cable are possible by working adjuster (2) located on throttle body right-hand side.
Remove the gaiter, loosen the lock nut (3) and work adjuster (2) to set the required play.
Tighten the lock nut and refit the gaiter.
The condition of the throttle cable and choke cable sheaths should be checked at regular intervals. The plastic covering
should show no signs of pinching or cracking.
Lubricate the ends of the throttle control cables with the prescribed grease periodically to ensure they run freely.
Operate the control to check that the inner cable slides smoothly inside the outer cable: if you feel excessive resistance or
stiffness, renew the cable.
To lubricate throttle cable, undo the two screws (5) and remove the upper half of the twistgrip housing (4).

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 liquid comes into contact with the skin, wash thoroughly with cold 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, beaten egg or vegetable oil. Do not allow sparks,
flames, cigarettes or any other heat source to come 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.
Warning
Make certain 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).
file:///D|/Manuales/Para%20recolocar/MOTOS/DUCATI/DUCATI/M796/wsm/EN/M796_ABS_11_6_2.26.1.html[11/12/2015 18:40:20]
Battery charging system
Important
Keep the cap strip (3) to hand because it will be used later as plugs for the battery cells.
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 liquid to flow out.
Note
Do not tilt the electrolyte container as this could interrupt the flow temporarily or even permanently.
Make certain 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.

Safety rules
Warning
Before carrying out any operations on the battery, keep in mind the safety standards (Sect. 1 - 3, General safety rules).
When under charge, batteries produce explosive gases. Keep batteries away from heat sources, sparks or open flames.
Note
Always keep the battery clean. Apply grease around the battery terminal clamps to prevent corrosion.
Warning
Never remove the retainer bar (1) on the top of the cover or add more liquid to the battery. If the casing, the cover or the
terminals are broken, or if the sealing cap strip has been tampered with, the battery must be renewed.
Important
If the motorcycle is left unused for more than 30 days, remove the battery and store it in a safe, cool place.
Always charge the battery before the first use and after long storage periods - such as before selling the vehicle.

Battery charging system
Warning
To check the battery charging system for faults, use the DDS diagnosis instrument and follow the instructions given in the
paragraph, “Checking the battery charging system“ (Sect. 6 - 2).
The absolute value of voltage measured across the terminals of two of the three yellow cables (the measured value will be
the same whichever combination of cable is used) must be within the range indicated in the table below.
(Ambient temperature: 20 °C)
Important
Before testing, disconnect the alternator wiring from the electric system when the ignition key is set to OFF.
Values significantly lower than those indicated above can be due to:
- partially demagnetised rotor;
- short-circuited windings.
In the above cases the whole alternator assembly (rotor and stator) should be renewed.

If this strategy is not performed, check the correct operation of the various parts involved.
Headlight aim
The motorcycle must be perfectly upright with the tires inflated to the correct pressure and with a rider seated, perfectly
perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.
Position the motorcycle 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 conditions of low ambient 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 nine
tenths of the height of the centre of the headlight from the ground.
Note
This is the procedure specified by Italian regulations for checking the maximum height of the light beam.
The vertical alignment of the headlamp can be adjusted manually by turning screw (1).

Indicating devices
5 -Indicating devices
Checking the indicating devices
In the event of a fault, the internal connections of the device must be checked in all operating conditions. To do this, it is
necessary to disconnect the switch connector from the main wiring harness (Sect. 6 - 1, Routing of wiring on frame).
Then analyse the switch using an analogue or digital MULTIMETER (Sect. 6 - 13, Using a multimeter to check the electrical
systems).
Note
The same test may be done using the “DDS” tester (Sect. 6 - 13, DDS diagnosis instrument).
The colours mentioned in the following descriptions refer to the colours of the wires from the switch and not to the colours
of the wires of the main electric system.
HORN button
Connect the terminals of a multimeter to the Blue/White and Brown cables to check for electrical continuity, which must
be available when HORN is pressed (see Sect. 6 - 13, “Using a multimeter to check the electrical systems“, related to
multimeter operation). When HORN button is pressed, resistance value taken by the multimeter should be close to zero
and, if available, a continuity beep should be heard. When the horn button is not pressed, the resistance value should be
infinity (there is no continuity as the electrical contacts inside the pushbutton are open) and no continuity beep should be
heard. If these conditions are not met, the device must be replaced.

Indicating devices
STARTER button
Proceed as described for the engine stop button and check for electrical continuity between the BLUE/WHITE AND BLACK
cables when the STARTER button is pressed (see Sect. 6 - 13, Using a multimeter to check the electrical systems
concerning operation of the multimeter). If there is no continuity, the STARTER switch is defective and must be renewed.
Refit the right-hand switch, tightening the screws (1) to a torque of 2.5 Nm ±10 (Sect. 3 - 3, Frame torque settings).

Indicating devices
Checking the front and rear brake light switches, neutral light switch, oil pressure switch and clutch switch
Brake light switches
To check operation of the front (1) and rear (2) stop lights use a multimeter to check that when the front or rear brake is
pressed, there is electrical continuity (Pos. A) between the terminals of the corresponding switch (Sect. 6 - 13, Using a
multimeter to check the electrical systems, related to operation of the multimeter). When the brake is released, there
must be no electrical continuity across the terminals of the corresponding switch (Pos. B). If these tests fail to produce
positive results, the part in question must be renewed.

Instruments
The information on the display can be accessed using a 2-position rocker switch (1) and the headlight flash button (2) on
the left-hand handlebar switch.
Underneath the digital display there are six indicator lights (three per side) and a further auxiliary light that illuminates
when the engine rpm exceeds the rev limiter threshold.
The instrument panel is equipped with a sensor that detects the intensity of the ambient light. The instrument panel
automatically switches its backlighting on or off according to the intensity of light detected. The instrument panel also has
an internal temperature sensor which, if the temperature rises above 70 °C, switches off the backlighting to prevent
possible damage.
The instrument panel also houses the atmospheric pressure sensor: the engine ECU acquires this signal via the CAN
(Controller Area Network) serial communication line.
Indicator lights
The following indicator lights are mounted on the instrument panel:
3) NEUTRAL LIGHT N (GREEN): illuminates when the gearbox is in neutral.
4) FUEL WARNING INDICATOR (AMBER YELLOW): illuminates when there are approximately there are about 3 litres of
fuel left in the tank.
5) TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS (GREEN): illuminate and flash when the corresponding turn signal is in operation.
If a turn signal does not work (e.g. burnt out bulb) its incorrect operation is signalled by making the light flash twice as
fast as in comparison to correct operation.
6) ENGINE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT (RED): Illuminates when engine oil pressure is too low. This light should come on when
the ignition is switched to ON and normally goes out a few seconds after engine starts. The case may occur that the light
turns on briefly if the engine is very hot; it will turn off as the engine rpms increase.
7) HIGH BEAM LIGHT (BLUE): illuminates when the high beam headlight is on.
8) “ENGINE/VEHICLE DIAGNOSIS - EOBD” INDICATOR (AMBER YELLOW): It turns on in the case of an engine or
motorcycle error; in some cases the engine will be locked.
9) OVER REV. WARNING LIGHT: It comes on steady when the first rev limiter threshold (*) is reached. Starts flashing
when the rev limiter is reached.
10) ABS LIGHT (AMBER YELLOW).

START and STOP the timer by pressing the high beam FLASH switch (2) on the left-hand handlebar switch.
When the LAP function is active, each time you press the flasher switch, the display will show the lap time for 10 seconds,
before reverting to normal mode.
You can save a maximum of 30 laps in the memory.
If the memory is full, each time you press the flasher switch, the display will not save any more lap times and will display
the flashing message “FULL” for 3 seconds until the memory is reset.
When you switch the LAP function off from the menu, the lap in progress will not be saved.
If the LAP function is active and the display is suddenly switched off (Key-Off), the LAP function is switched off
automatically (even if the timer was ON, the lap in progress is not saved).
If the lap timer is not 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 laps), the display will save any remaining laps until the memory is saturated (in this case, it will save a
further 12 laps).
This function only displays lap times once; however, lap times are saved for subsequent display in the Lap Memory
function.

Fuel circuit
A pump located on a flange at the bottom of fuel tank pumps fuel into delivery tube (OUT) and toward injectors. The
flange also fits the pressure regulator controlling fuel feed and keeping it constant at a value higher than engine-
generated vacuum. Fuel that is not injected in the intake hoses returns to the flange and then to the tank by way of a
return hose (IN).

Description of the system
The engine control system (ignition and injection) relies on several sensors which correct mixture strength according to air
pressure and temperature and engine load. An air temperature sensor (6) located on the intake manifold of the vertical
cylinder and an air pressure sensor (5) located between the “V” of the engine block, connected to the air intakes,
measures the atmospheric pressure and transmits this information to the ECU where it used to make essential
adjustments to the quantity of fuel injected when the motorcycle is ridden at varying altitudes (e.g. a route that starts at
sea level and ends at a high altitude); The ECU also uses this information to adjust the air/fuel ratio according to air
density. (Assuming that the volume of air remains constant, an increase in temperature will lead to a decrease in the air
density and consequently a reduced oxygen content, whereas a fall in temperature will cause an increase in air density
and consequently the oxygen content will rise.
When the temperature is higher, the mixture should be leaner, while if it is lower the mixture should be richer to obtain
the best air-fuel ratio).
The exhaust pipes of horizontal and vertical cylinder are equipped with two lambda sensors (4), (15), which transmit
information to the air-fuel mixture control system.
There is a throttle position sensor (12) fitted on the shaft of the throttle of the rear cylinder. This device sends the ECU a
signal that is an indirect indication of the quantity of air drawn in by the engine (indirect measurement of engine load).

Description of the system
Operating phases
Normal operation
When the engine is fully warm, the control unit calculates injection time and ignition advance, by comparing the stored
map values, in accordance with the RPM and throttle position. The calculated quantity of fuel is fed through injectors in
one single sequential delivery to the two cylinders, during the useful cycle.
Starting
When the ignition switch is turned to ON, the control unit feeds the fuel pump for a few moments to put fuel feed
hydraulic circuit under pressure. It receives and processes the throttle position and engine temperature signals. When the
engine is started, the unit receives the engine RPM and timing signals that allow it to proceed with injection and ignition.
To facilitate start-up, the basic mixture is made richer in accordance with the engine temperature. During starting, the
ignition advance is fixed (0°) until the engine starts. When the engine starts, the ECU controls the ignition advance in
accordance with the values stored in the map and makes any necessary corrections according to the air and engine
temperatures.
Acceleration/deceleration
During acceleration, the ECU makes the mixture richer for improved engine performance. Acceleration is detected by
monitoring the speed at which the rider turns the twistgrip to open the throttle. During a rapid deceleration, determined
by the rider quickly turning the twistgrip to close the throttle, the ECU makes the mixture leaner to reduce emissions and
fuel consumption.

System components
12 System
- components
Electronic Control Unit (ECU)
The engine ECU (1) is an electronic digital microprocessor-based unit.
It 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 barometric pressure and engine load in Speed Density mode)
- Air temperature sensor (measures intake air temperature)
- Engine temperature sensor (measures the engine 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.
The ECU determines the following values:
- Amount of fuel delivered to each cylinder with a sequential non-parallel control
- Injector closing time and therefore injection timing relative to the end of the induction stroke for each cylinder
- Ignition advance.
Important
The maps, which include ignition 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.
file:///D|/Manuales/Para%20recolocar/MOTOS/DUCATI/DUCATI/M796/wsm/EN/M796_ABS_11_6_12.35.1.html[11/12/2015 18:40:26]
System components
Tighten the screws (3) to a torque of 5 Nm ±10% (Sect. 3 - 3, Engine torque settings).
The connector (2) is 48 PIN connector.
Make sure that the clip (A) for the connector (2) is in its “open” position (as shown in the diagram).
Rotate the clip (A) to secure the connector (clip in “locked” position).
Refit all the removed parts in the reverse order to that in which they were removed.
Fuel injectors
The injectors (1) deliver the correct quantity of fuel required for optimal engine operation.
file:///D|/Manuales/Para%20recolocar/MOTOS/DUCATI/DUCATI/M796/wsm/EN/M796_ABS_11_6_12.35.1.html[11/12/2015 18:40:26]
System components
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 Sect. 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“ (Sect. 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.
Stepper motor
The throttle body incorporates an automatic choke function performed by a stepper motor (1).
The stepper motor shaft is fitted with a valve which opens a communicating passage between two ports; one of these
ports (2) is connected to the intake manifold of the vertical cylinder while the other (4) is connected to the intake
manifold of the horizontal cylinder. A third port (3) is connected to the airbox.
file:///D|/Manuales/Para%20recolocar/MOTOS/DUCATI/DUCATI/M796/wsm/EN/M796_ABS_11_6_12.35.1.html[11/12/2015 18:40:26]
System components
The stepper motor simultaneously controls two by-pass ports having an air flow capacity of around 6 kg/h.
The by-pass ports with adjuster screws are present because it is necessary to balance the air flow to the two cylinders.
In order to compensate for the quantity of supplementary air supplied by the stepper motor and consequently deliver the
correct amount of fuel, the ECU converts the stepper motor steps into angular degrees of the throttle: this system means
that opening the stepper motor is equivalent to opening the throttle.
Note
The influence of the stepper motor air flow is present to approximately 30° throttle angle; no correction is required for
greater angles.
Lambda sensor
The Lambda sensor, positioned on the exhaust pipe, transmits information to the ECU on the amount of oxygen present in
the exhaust fumes. With this information the ECU can maintain optimal control over the fuel-air mixture.
The outer surface of the sensor element in zirconium dioxide is in direct contact with the exhaust gas, while the inner
surface is in contact with the atmosphere. Both surfaces are coated with a thin layer of platinum. Oxygen in ionic form
travels through the ceramic layer and charges the platinum layer electrostatically so that the platinum acts as an
electrode: the electrical signal generated is carried on the sensor output cable.
The zirconium dioxide element becomes permeable to oxygen ions at a temperature of around 300 °C.
When the oxygen concentration is different on the two sensor surfaces, a voltage is generated thanks to the special
physical properties of the zirconium dioxide. With a lean mixture the signal voltage is low, while with a rich mixture it is
high.
file:///D|/Manuales/Para%20recolocar/MOTOS/DUCATI/DUCATI/M796/wsm/EN/M796_ABS_11_6_12.35.1.html[11/12/2015 18:40:26]
System components
The typical change in signal intensity occurs when the air-fuel ratio is 14.7 to 1 (14.7 parts of air to 1 part of petrol),
which is referred to as “Lambda 1”. This ratio is considered to be an indication of complete combustion, hence the name
“Lambda Sensor”: thus
lambda = 1 means mixture in stoichiometric (ideal) ratio
lambda >1 means a lean mixture
lambda <1 means a rich mixture.
The air-fuel ratio control system is managed by the lambda sensor, which starts to operate at over 300 °C: the ceramic
material starts conducting oxygen ions at around 300 °C. If the proportion of oxygen starts to differ between the two ends
of the probe, this generates an electrical voltage between the two electrodes due to the particular nature of the material.
This makes it possible to measure the difference in oxygen content between the exhaust gas and the ambient air.
Combusted gas still contains a residual amount of oxygen when the air-fuel mixture delivered to the combustion chamber
is incorrect. This makes it possible to adjust the injection control unit to ensure the engine always runs with the optimal
air-fuel ratio.

Diagnostic instruments
13 Diagnostic
- instruments
For information on the “DDS” tester, refer to Sect. 6 - 13, DDS diagnosis instrument.
Introduction
This instrument allows you to measure resistance, voltages, and current values. Multimeters can be divided into two basic
types: those with an analogue display and those with a digital display. Units of the first type are equipped with a dial and
needle. 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 (Sect. 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.

Diagnostic instruments
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 resistance 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 question 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 approaches 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.

Diagnostic instruments
The tester requires a power supply voltage within 9 and 16 Volts D.C.
Make sure voltage never drops below this limit during operation: this situation could occur during engine starting and
idling on motorcycles in which the battery is not in perfect working order. If the tester detects a power supply voltage
lower than 9 Volts, the current procedures will be reset; when the voltage returns to the acceptable tolerance limits the
procedure must start again from the beginning.
The DDS diagnosis instrument (1) may be powered from the motorcycle in any one of the following ways:
- by connecting to the instrument power connection socket (N) the battery power adapter (3) part no. 97900.0230 and

ABS system information
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). The hydraulic layout of the
ABS system is given below.
Note
In the event of the ABS control unit detecting a fault in the ABS electronic management system, it activates the specific
file:///D|/Manuales/Para%20recolocar/MOTOS/DUCATI/DUCATI/M796/wsm/EN/M796_ABS_11_7_5.42.1.html[11/12/2015 18:40:31]
ABS system information
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; damage 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.
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).
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.

For clarity, the figures show the engine block removed from the frame.
Remove the inspection cover (A) and install service tool no. 88713.0123.
Turn crankshaft with tool no. 88713.0123, and set it so that the horizontal piston is at the TDC in the combustion stage,
i.e. the valves of the horizontal head are all at rest position: check the valve clearance on the horizontal cylinder head.
Set the degree wheel of service tool no. 88713.0123: to zero the horizontal cylinder is at top dead centre of the
expansion stroke, and therefore we can proceed to check the valve clearances on this cylinder.
To measure valve clearances in the vertical cylinder, rotate the crankshaft counterclockwise through 270° from this
position. This will bring the vertical cylinder to top dead centre of the expansion stroke, and therefore we can proceed to
check the valve clearances on this cylinder.
Note
While inserting the blade of the feeler gauge to check the clearance, apply gentle leverage to overcome the force of the
closing rocker spring and thus eliminate any play in the rocker mechanism: then check that the shim can rotate freely.
The clearance values must be within the specified limits (Sect. 3 - 1.1, Timing system/valves).
If not, remove the opening shim (3), as described in chapter “Removal of the cylinder head assembly”, Sect. 9 - 4.4, and
replace it with one of suitable height to obtain the prescribed assembly clearance.
Note
Opening rocker arm shims measuring 1.8 to 3.45 are available as spare parts: the size is punched on the shim.

along with gauges (C) 88765.1581 and the timing check tool with timing degree wheel (G) 88713.0123.
Reset the opening valve clearance when the camshaft is in rest position by inserting a feeler gauge between the opening
rocker arm and the opening shim.
Check that in this condition the camshaft can rotate. If it moves stiffly, use a thinner feeler gauge.
In this condition, with the piston of the horizontal cylinder at TDC and the valves fully closed as confirmed by the reading
on dial gauge (E), set gauges (C) to zero.
Set the tension value of the belts as described at Sect. 9 - 4.2, Refitting the timing belt tensioner pulleys.
Turn the degree wheel (G) counter clockwise until the gauge dial (C), on the exhaust side, shows a lift of 1 mm. Check
that the value of the angular displacement read on the degree wheel (G) is as specified in (Sect. 3 - 1.1, Timing
system/valves).

Check that the walls of the cylinder bore are perfectly smooth. Measure the cylinder bore diameter (D) at three different
heights and in two directions offset by 90°, thereby determining the assembly clearance, taper, and ovality (see specified
values in Section 3 - 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 cylinders are marked by a letter (punched into the specific surface on the cylinder side) showing the size class to
which they belong.
Always match cylinders with pistons from the same size class.

the value must be H-h less than 0.02 mm; otherwise, renew the connecting rod.
The cylinder head diameter must be within the specified values (Sect. 3 - 1.1, Cylinder/Piston).
It is preferable to use crankshafts and connecting rods of the same size class.
Position the new small-end bushing so that the split is at 90° relative to the upper hole in the small-end.

Drill lubrication holes into the new bushing in correspondence with the existing lubrication holes on the connecting rod
small end.
Now ream out the bushing until the inside diameter (D) is 18.006 to 18.024 mm.
Crankshaft overhaul
The main bearing and big-end journals should not be scored or grooved.
The threads, tongue seats, and slots must be in good condition.
Check for fretting or burrs in the fillet between journal and shoulder.
Fillet radius: 1.5 mm.
With the aid of a micrometer, measure the ovality and taper of the big-end journals, taking the measurements in various
different directions (Sect. 3 - 1.1, Cylinder/Piston).
Use a dial gauge to measure the alignment of the main journals by setting the crankshaft between two opposing centres
(Sect. 3 - 1.1, Cylinder/Piston).
Unscrew all the plugs (4), (3) and (2) from the crankshaft; heating the crankshaft, if necessary, to remove the
threadlocker applied at the time of assembly.

Apply the recommended threadlocker to the threads of plugs (3), (4) and (2) and refit them.
Tighten the plugs (2) and (4) to a torque of 13 Nm (Min. 11 Nm - Max. 15 Nm) and the plug (2) to a torque of 15 Nm
(Min. 13.5 Nm - Max. 16.5 Nm) (Sect. 3 - 3, Engine torque settings).

Crankcase assembly: crankshaft/connecting rods assembly
Use the recommended grease to lubricate the threads and underside of the heads of the new screws (8) and the threaded
hole in the connecting rod, packing in grease from both sides of the hole.
Warning
The grease utilised is an irritant in contact with the skin. Wear protective gloves.
Important
Lubrication of big-end cap screws is essential to obtain the correct coupling and to prevent breakage of the parts.
The big-end cap screws may only be used for one tightening.
Temporarily fit the gudgeon pin (L) to align the connecting rods, and then tighten the screws.

Fit the spacer (H) of the tool 88713.2878 between the connecting rods and take up residual axial clearance with the fork
feeler gauge (I) of the tool 88713.2878 which is available in the following thicknesses:
- 0.1 mm - 0.2 mm - 0.3 mm.
Use the torque wrench, as shown in the picture, to tighten the screws (8) to the torque here below (Sect. 3 - 3, Engine
torque settings):
- tighten to a torque of 35 Nm;
- wait 2 seconds and then back off through 360°;
- initial tightening to 20 Nm;
- tightening to 35 Nm;
- tightening to 65 ±1
- torque check 70 to 103 Nm.
Withdraw the feeler gauge and check that the connecting rod/crankshaft end float is: 0.15 to 0.35 mm.
Important
Make sure that the connecting rods (5) are correctly positioned in the respective cylinder seats. Incorrect positioning of
the connecting rods at this stage will inevitably lead to the need to re-open the crankcase halves.
