Ducati Diavel Service Manual: Checking and overhauling the components
Clearance between the clutch drum and friction plates
Insert a friction plate (e) in the clutch drum (f) and measure the clearance (s) with a feeler gauge.
Clearance "s" must not exceed 0.6 Mm.
If it does, renew the plates and, if necessary, the clutch drum.
Overhaul of the clutch plates
The clutch plates must not show any signs of blackening, grooves or deformation.
Measure the thickness of the friction plates; it should not be less than 2.6 Mm.
Important
The total thickness of the discs pack must not be less than 46.1 Mm.
Place the plate on a flat surface and check the amount of deformation with a feeler gauge.
Max. Flatness error: 0.2 Mm.
Overhaul of the pressure plate
Check bearing (5) condition; renew the bearing if the play is excessive.
Check the contact surfaces of the last friction plate; if extremely scored, polish it in the same manner as described previously for the cylinder head surface (sect. 9 - 4.5, Overhaul of cylinder head components).
Check conditions of the spring guide bucket tappet (g) of the pressure plate (4) and of the circlips (6).
Overhauling the pressure plate springs
Measure the length "l" of each spring (3).
Minimum length: 41 mm.
Renew any springs that are shorter than the above limit value.
Removal of the clutch
Note
For clarity, the figures show the engine removed from the frame.
Undo the fixing screws (1) and remove the ring (2) and the springs (3) from
the pressure plate (4).
Slide the pre ...
Reassembling the clutch
Position the spacer (13).
Fit the flat ring (11) and the belleville washer (10) on the clutch center
(12), so that the convex side faces the clutch
drum.
Locate the belleville washer (8). ...

Removal the airbox and throttle body
Loosen the screws (a) and remove the plate (b) that fixes the main wiring to
the airbox.
Undo the screws (17) and remove the air pressure sensors (9) with the support
(19).
Release the hoses (c) of the air pressure sensors (9) from the tab (d) on the
airbox.

Total distance covered indicator: "odometer"
This function shows the total distance covered by the vehicle
(in km or miles depending on the specific application).
At key-on the system automatically enters this function.
The odometer reading is stored permanently and cannot be
reset.
If the distance travelled exceeds 199999 km (or 19 ...
Introduction to the engine control system
The engine control system used on the diavel consists of the following
elements:
Ride-by-wire system (motorised throttle valves with electric actuator,
throttle grip position sensor and throttle valve
position sensor)
One injector per cylinder installed downstream of throttle valve
On ...
