Ducati Diavel Service Manual: Throttle valve position sensor
Introduction
The throttle valve position sensor (tps) of the diavel is mounted on the throttle body.
- The sensor is integrated into the throttle valve actuator motor, which turns the spindle of the vertical cylinder throttle valve directly.
- The sensor sends information to the engine control unit relative to the position of the vertical cylinder throttle valve and, as a consequence, of the horizontal cylinder throttle valve, which is connected to the former by a link rod.
- For safety reasons, the sensor contains two hall effect sensing elements (a main element - main - and a secondary element - sub). The two potentiometers share the same power and ground.
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 t ...

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 ...
Adjusting the clutch lever and front brake lever
The clutch lever (1) is fitted with a span adjuster (2) which serves to alter
the distance of the lever from the handlebar.
The lever distance can be adjusted through 10 clicks of the dial (2). Turn
clockwise to increase lever distance. Turn the
adjuster counter clockwise to decrease lever d ...
Beam setting
When checking beam setting, put the motorcycle upright.
Tyres should be inflated at the correct pressure and one
person should be sitting astride the motorcycle, keeping it at
right angles to its longitudinal axis. Place the motorcycle
opposite a wall or a screen, 10 meters apart from it, draw ...
