Ducati Diavel Service Manual: Checking the coolant level
To the specified intervals in the "scheduled maintenance chart" (sect. 4 - 2) Check the coolant level contained in the expansion reservoir, on the right side of the vehicle.
The coolant level must be between the max. And min marks on the tank.
If the level is low, top up with the recommended coolant.
Remove the filler cap (1) and top up with new coolant to the specified level.
Refit the plug (1).
For optimal operating conditions (coolant mixture starting to freeze at -20 C), the recommended fluid antifreeze should be mixed with water in the following percentages: antifreeze: 35 to 40% of the volume; water: 65 to 60% of the volume.
Important
Very hard water with a high mineral salt content can damage the engine.
Increase the amount of antifreeze to up to 55% volume in the case of very cold climates.
Important
Solutions with less than 30% of antifreeze will not provide sufficient protection against corrosion.
Changing and cleaning the air filters
The air filter must be replaced at the intervals described in the "scheduled
maintenance chart" (sect. 4 - 2).
Work on the vehicle right side, loosen screws (1) that secure the intake duct

Changing the coolant
Warning
This operation must only be carried out when the engine is cold.
Attempting to change the coolant with the engine hot
could lead to burns from hot coolant or scalding steam.

The battery charging circuit and power distribution
On the diavel, the +15v (key on power) voltage does not come from a
conventional ignition key, but from pin 30 of the
hands free relay. This relay is switched to closed state by the hands free unit
when the latter enables power on for the
ignition and engine. The hands free relay receives +30v ...
Specific operating strategies
Idle speed
No electric motor is used for idle speed regulation (bypass is modulated
instead with the throttle valve), as idle speed
control is effected by the ride-by-wire system. Idle speed is maintained by the
control unit when the speed drops below a
specific threshold and when the clutch ...
Refitting the timing belt driveshaft pulleys
To fit the circlip (10) in the driveshaft seat, use the tool code 88713.2834.
Install the inner spacer (17) on the driveshaft, taking care to align the
notch in the spacer with the slot for the woodruff
key.
Fit the first woodruff key (16) on the timing belt driveshaft.
