Ducati Diavel Owners Manual: 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 efficiency, disc integrity and rider safety.
Important
Have the brake pads replaced at a ducati dealer or authorised service centre.
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.

Accelerator position sensor (throttle grip)
Introduction
An accelerator position sensor (aps) is mounted on the throttle body of the
diavel, which measures the degree of aperture
of the throttle grip.
The throttle grip is connected to the sensor via two metal cables
The sensor transmits information to the ecu relative to the "torque ...
Key-on/key-off using the red key on the handlebar with the active key
A key-on can be performed by pressing the red key (6) on
the handlebar in the hands free on/off position and in
the presence of the active key (3, fig. 77).
Note
The active key (3, fig. 77) Has a range of approx. 1.5 M,
therefore it must be located within this range.
Key-off can be performed ...
