Ducati Diavel Service Manual: Check the idle and the co amount with warm engine
- Start the engine;
- Switch on the dds and check that it does not signal any error (otherwise consult the relevant paragraph of this manual to reset the error and proceed with the idle check);
- Enter the "self diagnosis" menu by selecting the diavel model in the available vehicle version. Enter the "engine electronics" system and check the default parameters.
See list below:
- Rpm
- Engine temperature
- Air temperature
- Throttle valve aperture
- Map1 pressure sensor
- Map2 pressure sensor
- Wait for the engine temperature to exceed 80 C displayed on the dds, and then adjust only the by-pass screw of the vertical cylinder until the "map2 pressure sensor" parameter displayed on the dds is nearly -52kpa;
- Make sure that the system automatically keeps the idle between 1350 +- 100 rpm; in case the idle is too high check for no cuts in the pressure sensor wires, cracks or cuts in the intake manifolds, make sure that the latter are well fixed to the engine, and so on.
- Wait that the engine temperature exceeds 90C displayed on the dds; if the air temperature detected by the dds ranges between 19 C and 40 C the co in these engine temperature conditions must be within 0.4% And 2% on both cylinders; if this check is not successful try to replace the lambda sensor of the faulty cylinder and, in case the problem still occurs, inspect the faulty cylinder (clearance, strokes, valve sealing, etc.).
Warning
If the engine is shut off during the co level check, wait three minutes after starting for the after-starting enrichment phase to be finished and the lambda sensors to start operating.
Checking the idle speed
Check that the bike is provided with electronic control unit, oem intake and
exhaust systems, otherwise fit original
components.

Check the engine oil pressure
Note
The on-screen icons used during this procedure are explained in a table at
the end of this section.

Lubricating cables and joints
Check the outer sheath of the throttle control and cold start
lever cables for damage at regular intervals. The outer plastic
cover should not be flattened or cracked. Operate the
controls to make sure the inner cables slide smoothly inside
the outer sheath: if you feel any friction or catching, ...
Changing the brake fluid
Warning
Brake fluid is corrosive and will damage paintwork. Avoid contact
with eyes and skin. In the case of accidental contact,
wash the affected area thoroughly with plenty of running water.
Changing the fluid in the front brake circuit
Remove the cover (1) with the membrane from the front b ...
Cleaning and replacing the spark plugs
Spark plugs are essential to smooth engine running and
should be checked at regular intervals.
The condition of the spark plugs provides a good indication of
how well the engine is running.
Have the spark plugs inspected or replaced at a ducati dealer
or authorised service centre; they will ...
