Ducati have in their treasure chest of a website, a section with all owner manuals of all their motorcycles since the year 2000. So even if you have misplaced your manual, or if you've bought your Ducati motorcycle secondhand without the manual, you can now get it on-line.

What's even better, since there are several manufacturers who have their manuals on-line, is that this service is FREE! It's going to cost you nothing, nada, zip.... The manuals are available in many different languages and you can download them to your PC.

How about that? That's embracing the internet.
