Ducati Diavel Service Manual: 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.

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).

Checking brake pads for wear
Check brake pads wear through the inspection hole in the
callipers.
Change both pads if friction material thickness of even just
one pad is about 1 mm.
Warning
Friction material wear beyond this limit would lead to
metal support contact with the brake disc thus
compromising braking efficie ...
Throttle valve operation engine
Introduction
The electric motor actuating the throttle valve for the vertical cylinder is
mounted on the throttle body of the diavel, while
a link rod connects the vertical cylinder throttle valve to the horizontal
cylinder throttle valve. In the electric motor, the
throttle valve position se ...
Checking brake and clutch fluid level
The levels should not fall below the min marks on the
respective reservoirs.
If the level is too low, air can get into the circuit, thus
impairing the efficiency of the system.
Brake and clutch fluid must be topped up and changed at the
intervals specified in the scheduled maintenance table ...
